Welcome to Podcast Portwenn — celebrating the world of Doc Martin, unofficially.
I’m Chesla Wechsler and we’ll be discussing Doc Martin, the medicine, the mayhem, and the marvelous people of Portwenn.
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 visits to Port Isaac (the real-world Portwenn), the characters, the plots, what we appreciate about the show, you name it. And we'll be getting ourselves ready to appreciate the new US adaptation Best Medicine, which will air on Fox in 2026.

Lisa Verni joins me to discuss the Psychology of Portwenn, the first of what we hope to be a four-part series. Lisa is a retired psychotherapist fan of the show.
Lisa made me think of things differently and it was an enjoyable discussion. I hope you think so too!
