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.

Rob Schorry joins me today to discuss Martin and Louisa in the loose context of seasons 1 and 2. Rob has seen the entire Doc Martin show so there may be aspects of future seasons that inform our discussion.
Rob's camera never quite cooperated and his audio dropped out at the end, so apologies in advance for that. Still, the conversation was fun.
Our next episode will cover the Psychology of Portwenn, Seasons 1 through 3.
