Vobes Show

Richard and Jimmy go to Brighton to have a stroll around and explore the merits of Little London by the Sea. Taking a microphone and a train, the two history buffs, wonder the streets, the lanes and the promenades of this old seaside resort recording their observations and searching for the detail most people ignore or don't even see. The Podcast is in two parts. This is part One - the second episode will be online soon. Have a look at the photos that Jimmy took here: Photos

I am back in the studio flying solo and this time I am talking nonsense. I hope you can make head or tail of it all.

The Beer Show with Jimmy and Richard and this time we are sampling German beers that have been sent in by Stuart. But what do we make of them?

Richard and Harriet take a walk and climb over the Black Mountains in Wales.

Did you go to university and what did you do with the knowledge you learned? Why I am not into the Olympics and the couple who didn't speak for twenty years.

Harriet and Richard pop out for a walk in the July sunshine in Shropshire. This time they are exploring the delights of Hope Bowdler, which is near Church Stretton and close to Caer Caradoc. To quote Wikipedia: Hope Bowdler Hill rises to the north of the village, with a number of summits, the three tallest of which are 426 metres (1,398 ft), 410m and 393m. The Gaer Stone (or Gaerstones) is part of this hill. On Hope Bowdler Hill you can go on 3.5 mile walk that will take you over the hill and a couple others in the area. This walk will also take you to Gaerstone, Wilstone hill and towards Church Stretton before it takes you back to Hope Bowdler. It is one of those walks that is over shadowed by the like of the suppose hill that Caratacus was defeated by the Roman’s in AD51 during his last stand to defend Britain against these dreaded foes. That said, it is worth taking a short detour to find one of the many public pathways to clamber to the top and take in the magnificent views. Legend also has it that a millennium later another famous rebel led a revolt against the Normans. The rebel was Edric Silvaticus also known as ‘Edric the Wild’, he was a Saxon that fought against the Normans in the area of Hope Bowdler after the Conquest of 1066.

It's another beer show and Jimmy and I are drinking lager. Yes lager. It was a gift from a local listener - thanks Peter.

Have you tried the meal deals at supermarkets? Are they all they are supposed to be or can you do better else where?

I am back in the beach hut flying solo and recording another dollop of your favourite podcast. Do read the terms of use, if you can find them and make sure you don't get hit by the Higgs Bosom.

Its another beer show and this time Jimmy and I are drinking some old favourites and having a number of striking arguments about which we like. Also, how much work should an unemployed man do around the house?

Jimmy and I are back in the beach hut and we have more beer and one that was designed by a pop band.

Work had cause to take me up north for some video productions and I took the opportunity to meet up with a fellow video producer who like me interested in walking. He enjoys both disciplines so much that he decided to combine the two into one and now produces the excellent Walks Around Britain website. He claims to run the only walking videos website in the UK and it is worth checking out if you love great landscapes and enjoy the British countryside. Andrew and I met up the other day and decided to have a stroll around a wonderful country mansion close to Doncaster called Cusworth Hall. To make the event a little more memorable we decided to record a podcast in which we discuss our love of walking, history, film making and more. If you have an hour, why not join us and find out all about Andrew and his walking videos and the elegant Georgian mansion and it’s three lakes sculpted by the infamous Lancelot Capability Brown.   Check out the Walks Around Britain website.

Another mad cap beer show with real ale, food and TV themes and a guest appearance from Charles Stell

It's another beer show and this time Jimmy has found a special machine that is going to help us with the beer tasting.  The question is is it going to work and will it match our opinions of the beer?

This is an extra long special show with some rather interesting beers from Brewdog brewery and others. I tell the story of my trip to Scotland and we look back at some music that we have enjoyed over the years. It a slightly mad show. Thanks to Charles Stell for the food supplies too!
