Description
Welcome to Podcast Portwenn — celebrating the world of Doc Martin, unofficially.
I’m Chesla Wechsler and we’ll be discussing Doc Martin and Best Medicine. Whether it's Dr Ellingham or Dr Best, Martin Clunes or Josh Charles, Portwenn as one word or two, we're here for it.
We'll talk about the show with people who are watching for the first time and people who've seen it all. We'll discuss the characters, the plots, what we appreciate about the show, you name it.
Check the show notes for spoiler alerts! Doc Martin specific episodes contain spoilers for Best Medicine and are best avoided until you've watched multiple seasons of Best Medicine.
Podcast Portwenn is an independent fan production — not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Buffalo Pictures, ITV, Fox, or the creators of Doc Martin or Best Medicine. It will never generate money for me. If it is ever monetized, I commit to donating it all to charity.
