- Fascinating Variety of Interviews from Across the Ringing Community
As a returning ringer, after a break of more than 40 years, keen to feed my rekindled obsession, I stumbled upon the Fun With Bells podcast.
Each episode is based around a theme, and consists of interviews with fascinating individuals, ranging from beginners to experts.
As well as being very informative, the series of podcasts, which started pre-pandemic, gives insights into the effects of the lockdowns and restrictions on ringing and ringers.
Although possibly aimed primarily at those sta... more

A joy to learn about this podcast and open my eyes to the incredible history, skill and community of bell ringing. Each episode is unique and a great listen!
Apple Podcasts5Emily_rings_bellsUnited Kingdom2 years ago - Great Podcast for both Bellringers and those with a general interest in Bellringing
This is a great podcast for both the experienced bellringer and also anybody who is just has a general interest in bellringing, maybe because they have friends or relative who ring.
Cathy who produces the podcast doesn’t ring herself but is married to a bellringer, so it never get too technical and she often asks questions which fill in the gaps in knowledge that you might not know you have.
The sound quality and editing is excellent which make them a very easy listen.
Highly recommended.
Apple Podcasts5AndromedatwelveUnited Kingdom2 years ago - Fascinating podcast
Fun with bells is the only podcast I've ever listened to. As a ringer for well over 60 years these podcasts are a goldmine of fascinating ringing subjects. I thoroughly recommend any ringer to dip into them. Non-ringers will find lots of interesting subjects too.
Having taken part in a couple of episodes I know how much care Cathy Booth takes in producing in producing such professional podcasts which are so easy to listen to.
Apple Podcasts5Elizabell who rings bellsUnited Kingdom2 years ago - It has everything and then more….
I thoroughly enjoy listening to the podcast. It covers things I would expect (learning techniques, recruiting, etc) and then gives additional fun surprises (beasts in the belfry and clothing mishaps!). The variation in topics makes this a great podcast to listen to and I enjoy learning more about this wonderful hobby (passion!), its community and traditions. I would highly recommend this to anyone with even a passing interest in bellringing, English traditions and history.
