‘The Ballad of the Crocodile and the Underpass' – Stories of Washington New Town is a podcast collaboration between Washington Heritage Partnership, Sunderland Culture, We Make Culture, University of Sunderland, Baseline Shift, and Arts Centre Washington. Since April 2024, podcaster and musician Grace Stubbings, along with the Washington community podcasting group, has been gathering and sharing stories of life in Washington.

Musicians Paige Temperley and David Brewis (Field Music) have worked with community members at Arts Centre Washington to transform these stories into songs. Drawing inspiration from the radio ballads of Charles Parker, Ewan MacColl, and Peggy Seeger, the podcast combines music, interviews, sounds, and archive recordings.

The podcast was made possible due to funding from The National Lottery Heritage Fund, and our thanks go to Lottery players
