Notes From The Island Podcast​

Introducing River Island’s official podcast: Notes From The Island. Our hosts Lauren Pattinson and James Barr talk about life, fashion and everything in-between with celebrity guests. With a little style advice, a little human advice, and a lot of laughs, Notes From The Island will be released every Friday. We have a hunch this will be your new go-to listen between train changes and your 537th play of that album.


Time to meet the hosts!

“Podcasts are the best format for working stuff out together while having a laugh. Think of us as your new favourite agony aunts…If agony aunts solved problems by saying you should wear some new jeans and a nice top.”
