Culture Talks

Culture Talks is a monthly podcast and digital platform created by Peterborough Collective, a group of young creatives in Peterborough. The project showcases local youth talent, stories, and cultural conversations, with the aim of fostering a greater sense of community pride and belonging. It features discussions on local news, events, and the city’s cultural scene, with a focus on empowering young creatives. Peterborough Collective are previous recipients of our Bursaries for Young Creatives.

Producer, DJ, and broadcaster Amy Nomvula has been commissioned by Festival Connect & Create to support and develop Culture Talks and the Peterborough Collective cohort as they enter supportive roles for the next cohort of creatives. This support will span mentorship, recruitment, collaboration and the designing and delivering of a live community event for 15 – 30 year olds in Peterborough.

Together, the project will support the continued delivery and growth of Culture Talks, amplify marginalised voices in Peterborough, engage young people through mentorship and community events, and provide a sustainable model for this youth-led creative podcast.
