INNFIELD episodes
- London for Beginners
Growing up under the benevolent southern sun in Cape Town, South Africa, Innfield's resolutely British parents had a habit of referring to the UK in conversation, and London in particular, as 'home'.
Perhaps it wasn't altogether surprising therefore that the young Innfield came to regard this most fascinating of world capitals as the place he would finally end up, and discover when he saw it for the first time at the age of 15 just how almost exactly the real thing resembled his youthful imaginings.
30 min - CIRCUS 2
This is the second part of last week's 'CIRCUS' podcast. I hope you find it entertaining and informative as you seem to have done last week, judging by the figures.
We'll leave the circus for a while, as I don't want it to become a serial.
It was, however, written as a much longer story and might even become a book at some stage, so if you've enjoyed them and would like to hear more, please contact me by email at [email protected] and let me know, and we can revisit the topic a bit further down the line.
The Podcast website is at innfield.net, and this episode will be availabnle there from tomorrow, Monday July 26.

- CIRCUS 1
It's not given to everyone to be the drummer in a circus Band.
However, Innfield spent his 23rd year as just that - with a travelling circus doing what little boys dream about from the day they visit the circus for the first time, and secretly forever after.
It was a fabulous experience, full of light and music and adventure and sawdust and popcorn - passing through fascinating new places, in the company of people of endless variety and fascination.
Join me, won't you?
The second episode in this two-part podcast will be up on Monday July 27.

About INNFIELD
From the publisher's feed
The Innfield Podcast is back. It's a warm and soft place to land, and mostly a feelgood spot.
If you haven't been here before, long-time former Network Radio host Richard Innfield looks at life with his signature sardonic eye every Monday . It could be social comment, consumer issues, politics, demystifying tech topics, travel, satire, reviews or the gleeful dismantling of self-important sacred cows where needed.
At the moment, though, we're embarked on a fact-filled travelogue around South Africa, that fascinating chunk of real estate down at the very bottom of Africa that gets such wide and conflicting publicity.
Everything from fornication to marketing, you could say - except for the fornication and the marketing, which you'll be relieved to hear are refreshingly absent.
Most podcasts seem to about self-development or marketing these days, and INNFIELD is about neither of those. I'm not going to try and wheedle money out of you or sell you anything.
There'll be quite a lot of nostalgia and general upbeat stuff. Nothing wrong with nostalgia - quite the reverse, in fact. If anyone scorns you because you enjoy nostalgia, stick your tongue out at them. It's very satisfying.
The latest episode of This is South Africa, part 2, is out now. I thought I'd develop this into a series, given the welcome and unexpected response to the first one.
After that, there'll be further half-hour episodes every Monday. I promise.
The website is up again at https://www.innfield.net - every episode of The Innfield Podcast is up there, and I'm planning to add a blog in January, where there will be extended show notes for This is South Africa, links to useful resources on the topic, and plenty of pics. I hope you'll soon be a regular visitor.
I'm not on social media. You can get in touch by email at [email protected] - you'll always be welcome.
