In this episode my guest is Steve Bentley, who worked in the drugs squad as an undercover cop in the 1970s. Steve was involved in surveillance and infiltration work in the infamous Operation Julie busts of 1978.  This is a good listen - I hope that you enjoy it. If you were in any way caught up in the events surrounding Operation Julie and would like to share your memories of that time, please do get in touch. 

Where to next for Talking with the Hippies - I started with a plan but the plan has gone. Things very much seems to be going where they go.   If you were involved or connected in any way to those heady days I'm after any stories connected to the entire culture - the music, the media, the festivals, the hippy trail, the politics, the US scene, etc. etc. - in fact any memories at all that you might like to share with the listeners of this podcast.
