Behind the Counter
Introducing the Hamiedog podcast, full of conversations from Park View.
We're exploring independent businesses, local life, creativity and community from Whitley Bay and across the north-east. Talking frankly, without a script, without any censorship but with honesty and integrity on topics and themes which matter.

WHAT IS BEHIND THE COUNTER?
When you run an independent shop, you meet some fascinating people.
Behind The Counter was created to share the stories, experiences and ideas of the people who make our community special.
From local businesses and creatives to community leaders and interesting characters, every episode starts the same way:
A good conversation.
Scott is the owner of Hamiedog Menswear on Park View in Whitley Bay. Through the podcast he explores people, business and stories that make the North East such a great place to live and work.
A forty-something year old Geordie bloke, Scott has had a presence in Whitley Bay for ten years and has worked with well respected organisations including Screen Star Events and Whitley Bay Chamber of Trade.
"I really love talking to people from all walks of life and hearing their stories, so the podcast seems a natural development for me personally and professionally".
