Jonathan Dodd is a weekly columnist with Isle of Wight news provider, OnTheWight.
He’s been contributing a Sunday column, sharing his musings on any subject you can think of, since 2012 and also writes reviews on books, film and plays.
It's strange how the most unexpected of things can take you back decades. A scattering of talcum powder did just this for Jonathan earlier in the week.
We have great admiration for Jonathan Dodd, who manages - week after week - to produce such interesting and engaging columns. Knowing how much he frets over them makes his words even more precious and something we're very grateful for.
Earlier in the week OnTheWight's cultural reviewer, Jonathan Dodd, spent an evening in Bonchurch in the company of the first Isle of Wight Shakespeare Festival.
