Tess Woodnutt might just be Alderney’s busiest woman. She first arrived on the island by accident as a child, fell in love through her family’s sailing adventures, and somehow never left.
Today she’s a picture framer, pig farmer, sailor, radiographer, and one of those people who keeps the island quietly turning — whether it’s through the Sailing Club, the Alderney Theatre Group, or just lending a hand where it’s needed.
In this episode, Tess shares her story of raising two children born and bred on Alderney, and what it’s really like to live a full, creative, hands-on life on an island barely three miles long.
We talk about her approach to DIY, her belief in healthy, sustainable living, and the unspoken magic of a community where everyone wears ten hats — sometimes all at once.It’s a conversation about independence, belonging, and finding joy in the small, beautiful rhythms of island life.

A marine biologist and ecological scientist, he arrived in Alderney in 2021 on a Wildlife Trust internship and never left — trading mainland internships that make you fetch coffee for real responsibility surveying Ramsar sites, tagging ormers and counting seabirds on the edge of the Atlantic.Alex’s passion began with Jurassic Park and snorkelling trips on the south coast. That fascination has grown into a career spent among ganets, puffins and plankton — a reminder that life on Alderney is lived between two worlds: the land under our feet and the seas that surround us. In this episode he explains how everything connects, from blonde hedgehogs and slow worms to puffins and tuna, why Ganet Rock is one of the most extraordinary seabird colonies in the world, and how apps like iNaturalist are helping islanders record what they see in their gardens.We also talk about rats and rabbits, reefs and rockpools, climate change and plastic pollution, and why small islands like Alderney matter in the global fight for biodiversity. It’s a wide-ranging conversation about responsibility, resilience and the joy of discovery — with plenty of skulls, shells and specimens along the way.LET’S CONNECT 👇Listen on Apple Podcasts:http://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/camtalks/id1479296317Listen on Spotify:http://open.spotify.com/show/7lHojlnWyTUneaEpkcBgKS?si=09035669ff454537Instagram:http://instagram.com/camcairnduffLinkedIn:http://linkedin.com/in/cameroncairnduffTikTok:http://tiktok.com/@camcairnduffFacebook:http://facebook.com/cameronfilmsYouTube:http://youtube.com/@camcairnduff
Sponsored by Bell & Co — Alderney’s leading estate agent, helping people find their place on the island.http://bellandcoalderney.comAlex Flewitt first came to CamTalks five years ago in a North London warehouse; today she’s back in Alderney, running Anchors on Victoria Street, teaching music, and helping launch RidunaFest — a two-day, community-driven festival in the quarry. What began as a pandemic pivot to a bedroom studio became a whole new toolkit: finishing a performance degree online, building a home recording setup, and rediscovering why small-island life is fertile ground for big creative projects.Nearly two years into co-owning Anchors, Alex has learned retail from scratch — buying, styling and keeping the island effortlessly well-dressed — while doubling down on community: Alderney Theatre Group’s hit "Vicar of Dibley", the Fireman Mole gala ads, and a plan to make RidunaFest feel like “the best of the big gigs, done the Alderney way.” Along the way she’s reversed type 2 diabetes through lifestyle changes, found new energy, and started sketching the next chapter (hello, Anchors Home).In this episode we talk about warehouse London vs island studios, turning a one-night gig into a festival with top-tier tribute acts, what retail teaches you about people, why local theatre matters, health, discipline and abundance, and the simple power of choosing to build a life here.It’s a conversation about creativity, community and belonging — proof that staying can be the boldest move of all.“We don’t just sell the island. We make it sing.”LET’S CONNECT 👇Listen on Apple Podcasts:http://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/camtalks/id1479296317Listen on Spotify:http://open.spotify.com/show/7lHojlnWyTUneaEpkcBgKS?si=09035669ff454537Instagram:http://instagram.com/camcairnduffLinkedIn:http://linkedin.com/in/cameroncairnduffTikTok:http://tiktok.com/@camcairnduffFacebook:http://facebook.com/cameronfilmsYouTube:http://youtube.com/@camcairnduff
Sponsored by Bell & Co — Alderney’s leading estate agent, helping people find their place on the island.Andrew Eggleston first came to Alderney in the 1970s after his father spotted an article about the island while working at The Times. What started as a family move soon became a lifelong home, and by 1978 Andrew was helping to run Bell & Co — the business that still carries his name today.Nearly fifty years on, Bell & Co remains a true family firm with Andrew’s daughter Beth, his wife Janet, and a loyal team who’ve stayed for decades. Alongside it, Andrew has spent twenty years as President of the Chamber of Commerce, helping to shape the island’s economy and support local business.In this episode we talk about growing up between London and Alderney, why Bell & Co “sells the island first and the house second”, the quirks of small-island life from cobbles to bunker parties, what really draws people to relocate here, and the Chamber’s push for change — from leasehold lending to a new marina. We also cover Alderney politics, royal visits, and why safety and community spirit still set this place apart.It’s a conversation about family, resilience, and why Alderney is still “a living museum” worth fighting for.“We’re lucky. We haven’t made it — it just fell into our laps. And we appreciate it.”LET’S CONNECT 👇Listen on Apple Podcasts:http://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/...Listen on Spotify:http://open.spotify.com/show/7lHojlnW...Instagram:/ camcairnduffLinkedIn:/ camcairnduffTikTok:/ camcairnduffFacebook:/ cameronfilmsYouTube:/ @camcairnduff

Today he serves as a States Member and Chairman of the Economic Development Committee, helping to steer Alderney’s future.In this episode we get into his family’s history on Alderney, what it takes to survive Sandhurst on four hours’ sleep, learning to fly with the Army Air Corps, desert landings in 50° heat, convoy protection in Basra, and the mix of pride and pressure that comes with wearing the uniform. We also talk about legacy media, podcasts, and how AI is quietly reshaping government even here on our rock.It’s a conversation about service, sacrifice, and choosing to come home.“Progress is coming.”LET’S CONNECT 👇Listen on Apple Podcasts:http://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/...Listen on Spotify:http://open.spotify.com/show/7lHojlnW...Instagram:/ camcairnduffLinkedIn:/ camcairnduffTikTok:/ camcairnduffFacebook:/ cameronfilmsYouTube:/ @camcairnduff

Our next guest on CamTalks is Dougal Bowen — Alderney’s voice on the airwaves, bingo caller, jurat, and, finally, the interviewee for once.
Dougal came to Alderney as a young boy. And like many who stay, he didn’t just live here — he stitched himself into the island’s story. You’ve probably heard his voice on the radio, calling numbers at bingo, or speaking up for the island as a Jurat. What you haven’t heard — until now — is how being bullied as a child shaped the man behind the mic.
This episode flips the script. The interviewer becomes the interviewee. And what we get is something honest, surprising and deeply human — from the quieter pain of childhood to the quiet pride of being someone Alderney relies on.
It’s not just about broadcasting. It’s about belonging.

Our next guest on CamTalks is Lesley Cairnduff — a devoted carer, musician at heart and one of the driving forces behind Millie’s Foundation, Alderney’s charity supporting those living with dementia.

We also dive into the story behind Millie’s Foundation, the inspiration it took from her own mother, and why she believes compassion and community are Alderney’s greatest strengths.

Our next guest on CamTalks is Lee Flewitt — a beloved writer, performer and theatre-maker who has spent decades bringing laughter, creativity and chaos to the island of Alderney.
Lee’s life story is filled with heart, humour and resilience. From growing up in the basement of the Victoria Hotel to becoming a key figure in Alderney’s gala nights, his voice has shaped the island’s cultural life more than most. He’s written and performed in countless sketches, pantomimes and plays — always with a wink, a roar of laughter and a deep love for community storytelling.

We also talk about AI, the future of creativity, and why Lee believes Alderney is still one of the best places in the world to live — even as the world changes around us.
It’s a wide-ranging, warm and wickedly funny conversation with one of Alderney’s true originals.

Our next guest on CamTalks is the late Ray Parkin, a much-loved businessman, performer and philanthropist who became a legend on the island of Alderney. Ray sadly passed away not long after, on 16 September 2021, at the age of 89. Having lived on the island since 1959, Ray’s life and energy left a lasting mark on everyone who knew him — including me. I grew up watching him bring people together with boundless creativity and joy.Ray is best known for transforming Alderney Week from a small local gathering into one of the most vibrant festivals in the Channel Islands. As its organiser from 1970, he shaped it into a week-long celebration filled with parades, races, concerts and themed events — over 100 activities by the 1990s.But his legacy goes far beyond entertainment. Ray served as a Member of the States of Alderney and brought a sense of positivity and playfulness to island life. He was a true community builder — affectionately known as “Mr Alderney Week” and, in recent years, remembered as “Alderney’s Greatest Showman.”In this episode, we talk about his life, his philosophy, and the joy he found in bringing people together. It’s a conversation I’ll always treasure.LET’S CONNECT 👇Apple:http://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/your-podcast-name-or-id-hereSpotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/7lHojln...Instagram:http://instagram.com/camcairnduffLinkedIn:http://linkedin.com/in/cameroncairnduffTikTok:http://tiktok.com/@camcairnduffFacebook:http://facebook.com/cameronfilmsYouTube:http://youtube.com/@camcairnduff

Meet our guest for this episode of CamTalks, Ryan Park, also known as the Men's Mental Health Coach. Ryan's journey into mental health advocacy began in 2019, when a close friend, who seemed to have it all, tragically took his own life. This devastating event ignited a fire within Ryan to delve deep into the science of male mental health. He uncovered extensive research on the impacts of hormones, lifestyle and goal setting on men's mental wellbeing, which is often overlooked or misunderstood.
In 2020, Ryan began coaching men using simple, science-based strategies that improved their mental health. The outcomes were promising, with many men overcoming feelings of despair and regaining a sense of control over their lives. His coaching practice grew, and he distilled the knowledge from over 900 sources and coaching sessions into a practical, evidence-based framework for men's health and happiness.
In 2022, Ryan took the stage at TEDxEnniskillen to share his findings. Despite initial feelings of impostor syndrome, his talk was well-received and led to numerous invitations to speak at other events. To this day, Ryan delivers talks and workshops to industry leaders, charities, and NHS Trusts, always striving to be inclusive and engaging, particularly for men.
However, Ryan's pride and joy is his Future Self Programme. This unique 90-day programme for men combines 1:1 coaching, group accountability, and science-based workshops to equip men with the tools they need to improve their mental health and achieve their life goals.
Ryan is passionate about demystifying male mental health and showing that the solutions are often simpler than they seem. So, if you're looking for a speaker to captivate your audience with science, stories, and strategies, or a coach who empathizes with the male experience and supports success, Ryan's your man.

In this episode, we are joined by Joshua Towers, the founder of Teenage Helpline. At just 14 years old, Joshua established this non-profit organisation to provide crucial peer-to-peer mentoring support to young people across the UK. Having faced his own struggles as a teenager, Joshua saw the need for this kind of service and took it upon himself to make sure that other young people wouldn't feel alone in their struggles. He now leads a team of over 130 staff members, driving clear, progressive strategies that continue to grow the organisation.
Apart from running Teenage Helpline, Joshua also works full-time for ExxonMobil as an EAME Business HR Advisor and the UK I&D Lead. He is instrumental in developing and delivering key I&D strategies and initiatives to promote employee wellbeing and togetherness in the workplace.
Joshua's personal and professional journey took a tragic turn when he lost his father at the age of 17. This experience showed him how much support he had and what is needed when dealing with the loss of a parent at such a young age. It is these experiences and his extensive charity trustee and executive level leadership experience in the voluntary sector that make Joshua a compelling guest for our podcast. Join us as we delve into the pressures young people face with mental health and how Joshua's own experiences have shaped his life's work.

Talking with Nikki can sometimes be tricky as her charm and a good sense of humor can lead us off track and into the unknown.

In the first-ever episode of CamTalks, I speak with marketing guru and long-time friend Lewis Hackney. In this podcast we talk everything marketing from building social proofing for brands, starting a mobile app and the future of marketing. He also gives me a glimpse into the type of habits I'd need to form in order to compete in rowing. Lewis is an awesome guy and the inspiration for starting this podcast.
