Ramble On

With the Summer coming to a close I decided to spend the last weekend of August in the Las Vegas of Great Britain. Joined by my good friend Gina aka 'Kitty from Lost Property' I went to Blackpool to take in the sights and smells of the notorious seaside town. Run down hotels, barefoot dancing, Hare Krishna and fortune telling gypsies are just a few treats on offer in this Bank Holiday extravaganza. 

After a prolonged absence, I climb back into the ramble saddle. In this returning episode, I talk about the positive and negative aspects of change, recount a moment of age and discuss creative projects and their core influences. I also pose a simple question as part of a social experiment and find myself in the middle of anti fascism rally, as you do.

Two days, one house party and a whole lot of dancing. I head down to London for Lovebox 2016.

Heading out into the field (literally) I attend one of the highlights of a farmers social calendar, the Cumberland Show. Chickens, chainsaws, cumberland wrestling and more awaits so what are you waiting for? Grab your finest tweed jacket and join me. 

When a little bit of the past meets a little bit of the present in the middle of a pub, a special guest joins me to talk about monkeys, magic, board games and more.

In a heavily film focused episode I recount my compressed experience of this years Glasgow Film Festival. Three days of Nazi shenanigans, love, death, destruction, addiction and a Chinese cop named Dave are on the agenda, plus I take a look at this years Oscar nominations. 

In the concluding part of our paranormal investigation, me, Helen, Chris and the deaf ladies head into uneasy territories to make contact. Steve the medium returns for a cryptic planchette conversation in the station masters room and I evaluate the uncertainty of it all.

In the first episode of the new year we take a field trip into the unknown. The Undercroft is a series of rooms located beneath my local train station, so I decided to take part in a supernatural investigation alongside some specialists. Here there be grisly tales, bumps in the night, scepticism and strange occurances. So join me, a pair of excitable hosts, a medium named Steve and a group of deaf ladies as we head underground in search of ghosts.

On the eve of Christmas I sit down in my living room with a very special guest...my mum. Together we take a look at this years festive television and bring up a number of seasonal memories.

When an unexpected visitor disrupts my weekend a planned liason with a pair of New York ladies goes out the window. Storms, floods, illogical choices and cinematic choices are on the menu in episode twelve.
