‘Like an old wives’ tale, like a piece of wisdom passed down through generations which no one questioned or even thought about too hard. Like folklore. It was just something everyone knew, a rule to be followed. Don’t go to Almanby’. In today’s episode I chat to author and screenwriter Adam S. Leslie about his debut novel, Lost in the Garden which follows three friends as they journey to the village of Almanby during a never-ending summer. Lost in the Garden has been described as a folk horror novel, although Adam has coined the term ‘Nostalgia Horror’ to describe his book. Together, we have a wide-ranging discussion drawing on themes of folk horror, hauntology and childhood nostalgia which are central to the book. Adam also shares his creative influences, his passion for film, and the inspirations behind Lost in the Garden .

While graffiti might have modern connotations, it’s existed for thousands of years. The act of creative expression on walls and other surfaces is observable in many different forms - and there’s always been plenty of conflicting opinions about it! In today’s episode, I chat with Chris Pensa, a street art expert and former art auctioneer at Sotheby's. Chris is the founder of The House of Graffiti, an interior design agency working with some of the world's best street artists to create bespoke murals for private and commercial clients. He is also the founder of PENSA Events where he carries out his street art walks and tours. Chris and I discuss the variety of contemporary street art styles that exist today, as well as their historical origins. We also explore Chris’ route into the world of street art, the different motivations behind creating graffiti, and some of Chris’ favourite artists.

Lizzy Laurence is a London based sound artist who creates music inspired by spatial locations. She stiches together 'found' music and ambient sound to create her tracks. In today’s episode I chat with Lizzy about her debut album Rocketman (I know what you are thinking, but no - it is very different!) the album was created while she was an artist in residence aboard Illutron, an old dredging boat in Copenhagen which has links to the murder of journalist Kim Wall. In my conversation with Lizzy I find out what got her interested in creating music inspired by place, the story of Illutron & Kim Walls murder, and finally, Lizzy’s creative process while creating Rocketman, and her music in general.

Ep 21: Exploring Post War & Contemporary Architecture ft. John Grindrod 58:10

58:10

In today’s episode, I chat with author John Grindrod. John’s work explores Britain’s post-war and contemporary architecture from a personal and sociohistorical perspective. John describes his books as being for those of us who are fascinated by the modern histories of our towns, cities, and suburbs - but also aren’t quite sure what to make of them. John has published four books: Concretopia: A Journey Around the Rebuilding of Postwar Britain (2013), Outskirts: Living Life on the Edge of the Green Belt (2017), How to Love Brutalism (2018), and Iconicon: A Journey Around the Landmark Buildings of Contemporary Britain (2022). In my conversation with John, we learn about the key characteristics of post-war architecture, and what got John particularly interested in this era of construction. We also explore what the greenbelt is and the issues surrounding it, as well as John’s self-professed love of Brutalism. Finally, we take a look at John's new book, Iconicon, and ponder the ups and downs of our mutual home town, Croydon. For more on John, check out https://www.johngrindrod.co.uk/ NOTE: Please excuse the poor audio at times in this episode. Someone commented it sounded like I was eating a bag of crisps. The rustling was coming from John's mic as he spoke. I was unable to edit it out as it would have lost John's speech all together. Apologies in advance! (Recorded March 2022)…

39:36

Have you ever wondered what happens to the places abandoned by humans as a result of war, nuclear damage, or just the cruel hand of time? Initially, it may sound rather bleak, but today’s guest has found some silver linings amongst the ruins. In today’s episode, I chat to author and journalist, Cal Flyn, about her second non-fiction book, 'Islands of Abandonment: Life in the Post-Human Landscape'. 'Islands of Abandonment', which has been named The Sunday Times' Science & Environment book of the year (2021) and shortlisted for other prestigious awards, explores ghost towns, exclusion zones, and post-industrial ruins. It aims to illustrate both the ecology and psychology of abandoned places. In my conversation with Cal, I discover what sparked her interest in abandonments, her process for writing and researching the book, how nature benefits from our absence, and much more! To find out more about Cal's work, be sure to check out her website: https://www.calflyn.com/ (Recorded November 2021)…

This year, I’ve read some great zines that each explore sense of place in their own unique ways. Hence, I thought it would be nice to chat with some of the creators behind them! First, I speak with Kieran Cutting and Christian Kitson, creators of Lost Futures. Lost Futures explores 'worlds that could have been, should have been, or weren’t'. Then, I chat with Richard Daniels, creator of Occultaria of Albion (OA), a tongue-in-cheek part-work series about the weird and unusual in Albion. Finally, I chat with Simon Moreton, author of multiple zines, independent comics - and a brand new book! Much of his works explore place, landscape, politics, and grief. For Patrons of the show, Kieran and Christian of the Lost Futures Zine have kindly shared with me a discount code for issue 2 and the upcoming issue 3 when it is released!

Ep 18: The Macabre World Of Dark Tourism ft. Dr Philip Stone 51:55

As the founding director of the Institute for Dark Tourism Research (iDTR), it would be fair to say that today's guest has a penchant for the macabre. Dr Philip Stone was introduced to 'dark tourism' twenty years ago, long before travel vloggers and Netflix documentaries got hold of the term. Since then, he has established himself as a figurehead in bringing this dark world to light. Aside from contemporary topics like the COVID-19 pandemic, Philip and I discuss the origins and ethics of dark tourism, how the iDTR developed into an internationally recognised centre for dark tourism research, and what drives people to visit spaces defined by death, disaster and destruction.

Have you ever wondered about the myth and folklore surrounding you on your trip to Ikea for that new flat pack wardrobe? Or the strange world that exists in Tesco’s car park when you do your weekly shop? Perhaps not - but today's guest, Gareth E. Rees, certainly has. Gareth has made it his mission to explore the magic of the everyday by recontextualising the unloved spaces we occupy in modern life. Author of 'Car Park Life', 'Marshland', and 'The Stone Tide', his latest work takes its title from his website- Unofficial Britain- a mixture of fiction, articles, music and art offering unusual perspectives on the contemporary landscape. Gareth and I discuss what triggered his interest in the mundane, and our conversation explores spaces like marshlands, industrial estates, carparks, and rubbish tips. We also discuss the theatricality of hospitals and the romanticisation of roundabouts and motorways. (Recorded November 2020)…
