Village life & friendship in Carrington's Village is a three part documentary film about the way of life in a small village in Barbados. It was made by Wendell Daniel in October/November 2017. It was uploaded on Youtube in February 2019 with a very small number of views. The documentary filmmaker decided to re-release the documentary on this platform with unbelievable viewing figures. This short film is an update and a thank you to the 85k+ people who have viewed the 3 part documentary thus far (18 January 2020).

Jeremy Corbyn was the keynote speaker at the Stop The War Coalition rally that took place in Trafalguar Square in London on 11 January 2020. The rally took place a few hours after Iran admitted it has accidently shot down an aircraft that resulted in 176 innocent lives being lost. This happened after the president of the United States, Donald Trump, issued an order that resulted in what has been described by many commentators as the assassination of an Iranian General.

Trainspotting is a hobby that I have never understood. That changed when StreetMic engaged father & son trainspotters in a delightful conversation about their lifetime hobby. This sees them travelling over one thousand miles each month to feel, smell and ride on all types of trains.

You will also get to hear about the pleasures they get from sitting quietly on a platform filming different trains as they pass by before going home to upload the recordings on their YouTube channel for their subscribers to also enjoy. 

Future episodes of StreetMic will be released on a Sunday at 10am London time.

Phase One of the Inquiry report was published on 30 October. StreetMic went onto the streets around Grenfell Tower to obtain local reactions from those who were involved in the tragedy, or from those who witnessed the events.

Many local residents, and a worker, were happy to tell StreetMic their personal story about what they saw, heard and how they and the local community have been affected by the fire. They also gave their opinions on the one thousand paged Inquiry report that was published.

Please note a telephone call that was made to LBC Radio after the fire has been featured in this Podcast. You will hear from a caller whose mum and aunt perished in the fire. The caller describes the last breath of his mother.
