Voice FM has teamed up with Nested Southampton, a tech-driven estate agency, to launch '100 Fantastic Facts about Southampton', a project sponsored by Nested Southampton for the entire year.
The campaign aims to highlight and celebrate the rich history and unique aspects of the city.

Each fact is researched and narrated by historian Martin Brisland, author of six books on Southampton, and is broadcast every hour on the hour on Voice FM.
The campaign is also being shared on the station’s social media channels.
Xan Phillips of Voice FM said: "Southampton really deserves a lot of love. This campaign feels like a way of helping Southampton celebrate itself."
Chris Schutrups, founder of Nested Southampton, said: "I'm exceptionally proud of this city. I'm proud of the people."
"It is an amazing city to build a business in, raise children, and soak up so much culture.
"The city has something for everyone, and I'm exceptionally proud to be here."
He added that the campaign was a natural fit for his company’s community-focused values.
Mr Schutrups said: "When Xan spoke to me about the hundred facts that highlight the amazing things about Southampton that people don't know about, I thought, well, that just is right up our street, really."
Mr Phillips thanked Mr Schutrups and Nested Southampton for their support.
He said: "We're really proud that Chris is sponsoring this through Nested Southampton.
"On behalf of Voice FM, it's brilliant."
