Tyne for Business (TfB) celebrates the independent businesses at the heart of the North East - stories of courage, creativity, and commerce.

This is a place-based documentary podcast exploring the businesses, products, and people that make Newcastle upon Tyne and the surrounding cities special.


Rather than a straight interview show, each episode steps inside a local business to capture its atmosphere, its history, and the real-world context of running it today. It's not just about the the inspiring owners, it's about the customers, supply chain, and the community around it.


From centuries-old buildings with hidden histories to the challenges facing independent makers now, Tyne for Business shines a light on purpose-led, socially conscious businesses across the region - helping listeners discover places worth visiting, and hopefully inspiring a few future entrepreneurs along the way.


Hosted by Ashleigh King and produced by Flamingo Heights Podcast Studio.

    2026/08/07
    Step inside The Barn Door in Heaton, Newcastle, a slice of Northumberland country soul tucked into one of the city's busiest high streets, where the pints come with a side of yee-haw.In this episode of Tyne for Business, host Ashleigh King meets Tracy, the woman who opened a country and western bar at 60 because she wanted to bring the countryside to Newcastle. What begins as a story about country music soon opens up into something much bigger: a story about family, memory and the childhood barn that inspired it all.From Westerns watched with her dad and a whiskey raised in his memory, to an aunt's dementia that brought the whole dream flooding back, Tracy has built a space stitched together from secondhand treasures, gifts from regulars and a genuine open door for everyone. It's a bar where dogs get Sunday lunch, drag acts headline, Heaton Pride is sponsored, and a silent book club meets every Saturday.This is a story about heritage, courage and community, and proof that it's never too late to build the thing you've always dreamed of.What You'll HearWhy Tracy opened a country bar at 60, and refused to "slow down for retirement"The childhood barn in Lynemouth that inspired the whole spaceHow family, memory and her aunt's dementia shaped The Barn DoorTransforming a shocking-pink aesthetics clinic into a rustic country parlourWhy The Barn Door is "a barn for everybody," from Pride to drag nightsThe dogs who get treats, rugs and even Sunday lunchHow the space was furnished secondhand and co-created with the communityHer son Adam on the pride, worry and family behind the barChapters00:00 Welcome to Tyne for Business00:27 A little bit country: introducing The Barn Door00:45 Arriving in Heaton to meet Tracy01:34 Stepping into a Western parlour01:52 How The Barn Door came to be02:56 Rediscovering childhood, and opening a bar at 6004:28 "If I don't do this now, I'll regret it"05:02 From pink aesthetics clinic to rustic barn06:30 John Wayne, Westerns and memories of Dad07:37 Country music hits the mainstream08:50 A safe space for everyone (and every dog)10:15 Heaton Pride, drag nights and community events11:31 Northumberland friendliness and found family12:30 Fundraising, Deal or No Deal and the Silent Book Club13:45 Secondhand treasures and a co-created space15:25 A whiskey in memory of Dad15:50 Adam on watching his mum chase the dream18:54 Final reflections from The Barn DoorSpecial Thanks to The Barn DoorA huge thank you to Tracy and everyone at The Barn Door for welcoming us into their space and sharing their stories.The Barn Door is a brilliant example of the independent businesses helping to shape culture, creativity and community in Newcastle's Heaton.Tracy — FounderAdam — Tracy's son and right-hand manDanny — Resident DJWebsite: https://www.instagram.com/thebarndoornewcastle/?hl=en-gbAbout Tyne for BusinessTyne for Business is a documentary-style podcast and video series from Flamingo Heights Podcast Studio, celebrating the independent businesses, communities and people shaping the North East of England.Through conversations and place-based storytelling, we explore the stories behind the businesses that make our region unique.Connect with Tyne for BusinessInstagram — instagram.com/tyneforbusinessFacebook — https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61591590248239Website — tyneforbusiness.co.ukCreditsProduced by Flamingo Heights Podcast StudioExecutive Producer & Host — Ashleigh KingDirector & Editor — Joel LowsonCamera — Thomas YoungProducer & Photographer — Chloe Fergie Graphics — Alistair Rolls https://www.flamingoheights.co.ukIf you enjoyed this episode, please consider following, rating and sharing the podcast episode.

    A Natural Wine Bar With a Living Room Feel | House
    2026/08/07
    In this episode of Tyne for Business, host Ashleigh King meets John, the entrepreneur behind House (and The Town Mouse), to explore natural wine, the realities of running multiple hospitality businesses, and why nurturing people matters as much as pouring good drinks. What begins as a conversation about accessible wine soon opens up into something bigger: a story about family, community and building a fairer industry.Along the way, Ashleigh meets the team who make House what it is, from manager Ethan and his community-first events programme, to Rosie, the bartender moonlighting as an international DJ, to Ailsa championing women winemakers and Becky, whose Table Project is fighting for women in hospitality. Together, they’re pouring natural wine, spotlighting local art, combating climate change and challenging the industry’s stigmas. This is a story about hospitality with heart, and a bar built on wine, community and doing things differently.
