Welcome to the first episode of Assa Marra, coming to you from Cleator Moor High Street—a place full of graft, grit, and good yammer. It’s the perfect spot to kick things off, as it’s where my husband, John, and his childhood marra, Gary McKee, grew up on Eheb Road. Gary’s a proper legend round there—our very own ‘Marathon Man’ who ran 365 marathons in a year. A feat like that takes more than just legs; it takes Cumbrian spirit, heart as big as a house, and a bit of daftness too. He’s been a massive part of our story, and his endeavours sum up everything that makes West Cumbria so special. So let’s get started where it all began—in the heart of Cleator.

Description

Assa Marra: “A Love Letter to West Cumbria and the Legend I Married”
This 18th December marks 16 incredible years since I met my husband, madcap adventurer and total legend, John Williamson. To celebrate this milestone, I’ve created Assa Marra—a 10-episode podcast series that is as much a tribute to him as it is to the place we both hold so dear: West Cumbria.
West Cumbria has been the backdrop to our love story. Its rugged landscapes, rich history, and incredible people mirror the qualities I adore in him: strength, humour, indomitable nature, and an unstoppable spirit. Over the years, we’ve found inspiration in the stories of this county’s remarkable characters, from legends like Josh Naylor to the everyday heroes whose contributions have gone unnoticed.
Through Assa Marra, I weave our love story with the soul of West Cumbria. These 10 episodes are deeply personal, recounting not only the moments that have defined our relationship but also the beauty of the people and places that have been part of our journey.
Assa Marra blends highlights from my previous podcast, Gobsmacked!, with brand-new radio interviews, creating a unique tapestry of stories that celebrate both our personal journey and the vibrant spirit of West Cumbria.
As the creator of Gobsmacked!—a podcast loved in 114 countries—I’m thrilled to use this platform to bring West Cumbria’s charm, humour, and spirit to a global audience. Above all, Assa Marra is my gift to John: a celebration of the life we’ve built together and the magical county that continues to inspire us.
