A man in love, and who clearly loves food.

What a delicious time we had with Jonathan, who passionately enjoys our town and its top drawer chefs. He’ll be back!

What curious things are about to land in Hastings and St Leonards...?! Listen to Miia's story, the delights that await courtesy of the team's Play The Town Festival, 30th April - 1st June this year. 35ish installations across town, some in Bexhill - the world's smallest disco (in a phone box), child-led build of an adventure playground, giant playing cards designed by local artists... look out! It'll be everywhere!

Thank you SO much, Robin and John for joining us on the podcast this week – WHAT a full and wide-ranging conversation, covering Robin’s wonderful project The Stimming Pool, making waves across film festivals nationally and internationally as we speak. We also discussed neurodiversity, new ways of film making and storytelling, John sketching Robin over the course of a year… and so much more. Glorious.
