Welcome Back To This City...

Hello! I’m Clara Amfo and if there’s one thing I LOVE, it's exploring a city, especially the city I get to call home. So hello and welcome to my podcast, This City - which is all about the stories, places and people of wonderful London! Each episode, I’ll be joined by a well known friend who has tales to tell about the capital. We’ll be chatting about early memories, the fashion, the food, the music, the nights out, and of course, the night bus stories….! Welcome to This City!

For the final episode of this wonderful series of This City, I am joined by - let’s be honest - London Royalty. It’s drag superstar, model, published author and recording artist - Bimini Bon-Boulash! Sadiq Khan himself said that they reflect the best of our city, and you’ll absolutely hear that in this episode. From travelling to London as a kid and finding their people, to their days as a journalism student and nights out in their best charity shop fits, to getting woken up in their Brick Lane flat by Jack the Ripper tours… it’s all in here babes! As you would expect, Bimini is full of energy and tells me some incredible stories! Enjoy this episode and I will see you next time!

It’s time for another instalment of This City, and dear listener do I have a treat for you!My guest this episode is the wonderful published author, activist, presenter, model, and DJ Munroe Bergdorf. We talk about SO much…. from fashion faux pas while clubbing in noughties London, to taking public transport as a trans person, her journey from fashion PR to regular FROW at Fashion Week, as well as how seeing London as a child showed Munroe a glimpse of an exciting future for her in the capital. I am forever in awe of Munroe and all of the incredible things she does, she is a fab guest, so I hope you love exploring her version of the City!Thanks for listening and please see below if you would like to support Brianna Ghey’s family and the next London Trans Pride event.

Dear listener, welcome back for another episode of This City, and this week I am delighted to welcome DJ, Broadcaster and Author - DJ Target!Let me tell you, this episode of full of excellent nostalgia, as Target has just wrapped filming the TV adaptation of his excellent book Grime Kids, and we talk about those early days of grime; from the East London basketball court to Rinse FM. And of course, you know I love to talk about the fashion, and Target tells me about the throwbacks with the wardrobe department while filming the show, and his best and worst looks from back in the day! I love love loved hearing all of Target’s stories about getting into music and the journey he has been on. We see each other every day at radio, but it’s so rare we get to chat like this, so I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did!

I am so excited to welcome today’s guest to This City, it is someone who I have been a fan of for the longest time; it’s TV and Radio presenter and all round hun - Rylan! I first fell in love with Rylan during his stint on the X Factor with Sherzy, and I’ve followed his stratospheric career from Big Brother, to daytime TV, BBC Radio, to being a household name and beyond! In this episode, Rylan clears up any rumours that he’s an Essex Boy (he’s from Stepney in East London), and we chat about his early life at home with Linda, his early nights out in Soho and the FASHION… oh my goodness the fashion! I am so excited for you to hear this episode, I ADORE Rylan and if you didn’t already, I know you will too after listening to this!
