Getting Better Acquainted episodes

  • GBA 145 John
    In GBA 145 we get even better acquainted with John Kingdom who is the father of my old friend Richard:
    https://soundcloud.com/gettingbetteracquainted/sets/the-richard-episodes
    John talks about his interest in pianolas, engineering, being a project manager, living in the Soviet Union during the time that it was stopping being the Soviet Union, father and grandfather-hood and so much more. He also outlines his "compassionate conservative" views and presents his view of recent political history. It has quite a strange start and features a cameos from Richard, a pianola and a baby.
    This is the second conversation in the Kingdom season which started last week with Richard #2. Next week I will air conversations with Nick who is John's son and Richard's brother.
    John Plugs: Compassion and love
    GBA has another season coming up on Resonance FM. Episodes from the back catalogue reedited to fit the hour slot will be going out at 11am on Fridays (repeated at 2am on Tuesdays) from the 31st of January.

  • GBA 144 Richard #2
    In GBA 144 we get even better acquainted with Richard. I interrogate him about his youthful mistakes and he pushes me to ask him all the questions on my list. We cover rat welfare, changes in approach, growing up, the relationships of artists and audiences, changes in political thinking and more.
    This is the second conversation that I have had with him and it starts the Kingdom season: over the next two weeks I will air conversations with Richard's father and brother.
