Episode One: Come on Pilgrim
Presented by David Bramwell and John Higgs, Watling Street Podcast is a specially produced four-part series, uncovering little-known corners of Britain’s history and culture from one of the first lines on a map. Recorded on location in Canterbury, London, Milton Keynes, Northampton and Wales, it features walks, poetry, music performances, conversations and even a quiz. Guests include Iain Sinclair, Salena Godden, Alan Moore, Daisy Campbell, comedian Miranda Kane and author s Andy Miller and CJ Stone.
On their fascinating journey David and John visit a forgotten prostitutes’ graveyard in London, seek out the capital’s oldest stone with Iain Sinclair; see in the sunrise in Milton Keynes (built deliberately as a sun temple), talk Charles Hawtry with Andy Miller, pay tribute to Brian Haw (who sacrificed his life in a spiritual battle with Tony Blair); share a cuppa with Alan Moore in the backstreets of ‘Noho' and go in search of dragons in Wales with Daisy Campbell. It’s going to be fun.
