This week on The Go-To Food Podcast, we sit down with legendary Italian chef Giorgio Locatelli — the man who helped redefine Italian cuisine in London. From his early training at The Savoy to becoming the first independent Italian chef in the UK to earn a Michelin star, Giorgio takes us through the highs, lows, and unforgettable moments of a career that has shaped the city's food scene for over four decades.In this wide-ranging and often hilarious conversation, Giorgio reflects on the golden years of London dining between 1995 and 2005, shares what it was really like walking into one of Gordon's infamous kitchen meltdowns. He also dives into the now-infamous Truffle Kerfuffle — a billing scandal involving a lavish dinner and a very expensive mushroom — and tells us how he ended up cooking £25k pasta for royalty in the Qatari desert, and how a well-timed delivery ended up making him an unlikely truffle dealer to the King himselfWe also talk about his return to TV stardom with MasterChef Italia, why he believes chefs need to stay grounded, and his advice for the next generation entering the industry. Plus, Giorgio shares his favourite go-to restaurants — from a hidden gem in Kentish Town to a no-frills spot in Palermo.This episode is a masterclass in food, legacy, and keeping your feet on the ground in an ever-changing industry.----------Please leave us a great rating and a comment and share it with your friends - it really helps us grow as a show.If you're in the industry and are looking for the greatest POS system in the world than look no further as Blinq are tearing up the rulebook—no long-term contracts, no hidden fees, and no per-device charges.

A new dawn has broken, has it not… well something like that. Giles and Esther channel their inner Nostradamus to predict last night's results. If, as assumed Sir Keir becomes PM, what does it mean for his family? Giles considers penning an ode to Kentish Town and all that the Starmers will leave behind.As Sir Keir awaits his big result, Giles is waiting for his own important phone call, but its from the NHS so who knows when it will come, today, tomorrow…never. Rumours abound of very underhand tactics being planned within the parental whats app groups of certain private schools. Will it be enough to change Labour policy? Amidst the big news a smaller but perhaps more meaningful event, the closing of a chapter in the Coren household. When dealing with the emotional toll of children growing up, who better to turn to than A. A. Milne or F. Scott Fitzgerald? Finally, women are better at espionage than men…how else did Dame Judi make it to be head of MI6..? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

London is brimming with capital waiting to be invested in housing, facing a millionaire exodus, and undergoing significant changes in the rental market. Key insights cover Melanie Leech's vision for unlocking capital, Labour's private school tax raid, non-traditional PCL areas, voluntary rent increases, and mortgage rate cuts. Melanie Leech, Chief Executive of the British Property Federation (BPF), envisions a new housing boom in London, akin to past transformative periods. Since the 1980s, London's population has grown by almost half, yet housing supply has lagged, contributing to high rents and declining home ownership. The BPF's manifesto, "Building our Future," calls for critical changes to the planning system, aiming to provide homes for diverse demographics and budgets. To expedite development, more planners are needed. Political parties are committing to providing more resources, and BPF members are willing to pay higher planning fees for faster, more effective systems. With significant capital available, smart investment can unlock more build-to-rent (BtR) properties, housing for older people, student housing, and social housing. BtR properties offer long-term leases, predictable rental increases, and well-maintained facilities, providing greater security and quality for tenants. With the right policies, the BPF predicts that BtR output could double to 30,000 homes annually across the UK. Investing in purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) is essential, enhancing the student experience and alleviating pressure on the wider rental market. Private sector capital is increasingly invested in social housing, with partnerships between not-for-profit and for-profit sectors emerging to boost supply. The BPF's manifesto offers the next government an opportunity to unlock investment, power London's economy, and maintain its global status. For property investors, non-traditional prime central London (PCL) areas like Camden, Notting Hill, Shoreditch, and South Bank are becoming attractive. These areas have experienced significant urban regeneration, boosting desirability and property availability. Young, affluent buyers are drawn to these neighborhoods for their cultural, culinary, and entertainment options, alongside potential for strong investment returns. Notting Hill, with its colorful houses and famous market, has seen property values increase by 101% over the past decade. Shoreditch has undergone major transformation, with significant price rises and a growing number of high-value properties. Camden and Kentish Town have seen substantial rental price growth, making them attractive for investors seeking higher returns. Labour's plans to address the rental market include preventing landlords from creating bidding wars, though renters can still "voluntarily" offer higher prices. Inspired by New Zealand's policies, Labour aims to ensure advertised rental prices match final charges, limiting competitive bidding. Critics argue this creates a loophole, as competitive bidding environments persist due to supply shortages. Labour also proposes limiting the amount of rent tenants can pay upfront. Scotland's government has implemented rent rise limits and eviction moratoriums, offering a model for tenant protection. With Labour leading in polls, their plans could significantly impact the rental market. In mortgage news, NatWest has reduced fixed-rate mortgage costs ahead of a potential Bank of England rate cut in August. The bank's five-year fixed rates for remortgage now start from 4.26% with a £1,495 fee. Virgin Money and Suffolk Building Society have also adjusted rates, offering various reductions for residential Maximize your property wealth with London Property. Turn challenges into opportunities.

#elviscostello #lindaronstadt #bozscaggs #bonnieraitt #nicklowe Austin de Lone is an American keyboardist who records and tours with his own bands as well as with other artists, such as Bill Kirchen, Elvis Costello, Bonnie Raitt, Boz Scaggs, Nick Lowe, Commander Cody, and Loudon Wainwright. De Lone grew up in suburban Philadelphia, taking piano lessons at age 12. His early influences included Ray Charles and George Shearing. After stints as a student at the New England Conservatory of Music, Harvard University, and University of California, Berkeley, he moved to Greenwich Village.[3] While at Harvard, de Lone composed the song "One for One," which was the first single released by Linda Ronstadt and the Stone Poneys. Eggs over Easy In 1969, de Lone formed the band Eggs over Easy with Jack O'Hara and Brien Hopkins.[4] In 1970, Chas Chandler persuaded the band to record in London, but those recordings were not released. A four-night-a-week residency at a pub called the Tally-Ho in Kentish Town lasted more than a year. Eggs over Easy played a blend of blues, country, and rock that became known as pub rock. Regular attendees of their shows included members of Brinsley Schwarz and BBC disc jockey John Peel. In 1972, they returned to California and released their first album Good 'N' Cheap produced by Link Wray. The Moonlighters De Lone moved to Marin, California in 1972, where he met Bill Kirchen, who had been performing with Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen. In the late 70s, de Lone joined Kirchen's side-project band, the Moonlighters. Their 1983 album Rush Hour was produced by Nick Lowe. Both de Lone and Kirchen later worked with Lowe and Elvis Costello. De Lone and Kirchen still record and perform together. In 2016, they released their duet album Transatlantica. The Christmas Jug Band De Lone is a member of the Christmas Jug Band, a collection of musicians who have been touring locally each holiday season since 1976, and releasing albums since 1987. The band has included musicians such as Dan Hicks, Tim Eschliman, Jim Rothermel, Lance Dickerson, Brien Hopkins, and Norton Buffalo. Richard de Lone Special Housing Project De Lone coordinates an annual fundraiser for eventual construction of the Richard de Lone Special Housing Project, a residential facility for people with Prader-Willi Syndrome, which de Lone's son Richard is afflicted with. As part of the 2007 event, Elvis Costello reunited with Clover, the band who backed him on his first album My Aim is True.

In this fourth episode of Series Five, host Andrew meets family historian, blogger, and Family Tree Magazine columnist Paul Chiddicks. He tells Andrew how he got into family history, about his Old Palace School Bombing project, and shares his ideas for some genealogy-themed Lego sets.The Life Story - William Wootton Paul has chosen to tell the life story of his maternal Great Grandfather William Tom Wootton, who was born in 1863 in Kentish Town, London. Paul describes him as an 'entrepreneur' although others might describe him as a 'chancer' given some of his actions.William had 7 children with his first wife Elizabeth Compton, but the final child saw Elizabeth die in childbirth. William re-married to an Emily Dodd, and they added a further 9 children to their family - and as you might expect - this came at a price! William worked as a lead glazier on some of England's most impressive architecture, but his determination to keep a roof over his family's head led him to take on a number of other jobs to make ends meet, including Punch and Judy shows, busking and there's even a family rumour about a sale of some well known East End songs.The Brick Wall - Samuel Chiddicks  It's a brick wall that's been standing for 30 years that is asking for help with, and it's one that he has tried to crack time and time again.Paul knows that Samuel Chiddicks was buried in South Fambridge in Essex, England, in 1816, with a given age of 55 years old, which in turn gives an approximate birth year of 1761.He is believed to have married a Mary Turner in 1787 in South Fambridge, but he is known to have married Ann Beard in 1794.Paul has undertaken an autosomal test with Ancestry, and a Y-DNA test with Family Tree DNA, and this has given him some Chiddicks matches in the USA and Northern Ireland, that all lead back to County Tyrone and County Fermanagh in Northern Ireland... but how?Where was Samuel Chiddicks born?Who were his parents?Is Northern Ireland in his Chiddicks ancestry? If you think that you can help Paul with his brick wall, you can contact him via his website chiddicksfamilytree.com or you can find him on Twitter @chiddickstree.

In the final episode of 2022 Andrew and Phil update some of the highlights of the podcast so far, especially the continuing debate between The Duke and Duchess of Sussex and last week's guest, Valentine Low.Some viewers and listeners who enjoyed the earlier episodes - with their spiky criticisms of royal spin and establishment power - have said that our scandal mongers have been too much swayed by the Palace when it comes to Meghan and Harry. Surely not….And talking of the establishment, spin and cover ups... the boys then interview writer Dan Smith about his groundbreaking book The Peer and the Gangster, an extraordinary account of a 1960s scandal involving the notorious Krays twins that could and should have rocked the British conservative government of the time AND the opposition Labour party…but was brushed firmly under the carpet.

Most of us think of the fabled summer of 1940 in terms of spitfires, the London Blitz and Churchill promising to fight on the beaches. But Andrew and Phil take a different view. And they want to bust a few long-cherished myths and reveal some scandals. In this episode they explore two scandals that occur BEFORE the Battle of Britain even began, and yet may have had just as great an impact on the course of the second world war.Set amid a fevered few fevered weeks of intrigue, defeatism, treason and fear, this is the story of two momentous but little understood events. Firstly the British attack on the French fleet. Some say this was was an act of brutal necessity, but others regard it as a betrayal, even a war crime. And secondly the fate of the Duke of Windsor, a former British King who is uncomfortably close to Hitler's Germany. Together these linked stories make for a fresh and fascinating re-examination of ‘The Finest Hour'. Andrew's book on the Duke of Windsor, and Phil's book and documentary on 1940, are in the links below.https://www.amazon.co.uk/Finest-Hour-bestselling-Battle-Britain-ebook/dp/B008K5TFLWhttps://www.amazon.co.uk/Traitor-King-Scandalous-FEATURED-DOCUMENTARY/dp/1788704878Churchills Darkest Decisionhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nyku1lSRiFUAndrew Lownie.twitter.com/andrewlowniePhil Craig.twitter.com/philmcraigYou can now get in touch with the show...team@podcastworld.org (Place 'Scandal Mongers' in the heading)This show is Part of the PodcastWorld.org network.Recorded in Kentish Town, London.Production byTheo XKerem IsikDavid KurzerAvailable on YouTube, Apple, Stitcher, Spotify, Amazon Music, Googleplay and more!

The revelation that spies working for the Soviet Union, recruited at Cambridge University in the 1930s, had deeply penetrated the British intelligence and diplomatic systems causes shockwaves throughout the 1950s, 60s and 70s as more and more either defected or were exposed. The fascinating figure of Guy Burgess was at the heart of the scandal, and his secret flight to Moscow in 1951 stunned the world, shaking confidence in Britain in its Cold War ally, the USA. Andrew wrote a much acclaimed biography of Burgess and this week he talks Phil through his remarkable story, and that of the other key spies. And they discuss whether Burgess was the most important of them all. They're joined by one of Britain's greatest ever writers on intelligence, Nigel West. Nigel met with Anthony Blunt, one of the most important Cambridge spies, and gained access to previously secret Soviet files. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Stalins-Englishman-Lives-Guy-Burgess/dp/1473627362 www.nigelwest.com Andrew Lownie.twitter.com/andrewlownie Phil Craig.twitter.com/philmcraig You can now get in touch with the show...team@podcastworld.org (Place 'Scandal Mongers' in the heading please) This show is Part of the PodcastWorld.org network.

King Charles is on the throne with Camilla by his side, and The Crown has returned to Netflix amid a storm of controversy about dramatising recent history. Phil knows more than most about Diana's life and marriage. Having run a large TV production team that produced an unusually well-sourced biography of the Princess, widely praised for its intelligence and objectivity, he's spent over two decades learning about this subject, and de-constructing the real story of briefing and counter briefing that lies behind much of what we think we know about her and her life. Andrew, who is no slouch when it comes to royal scandals and the dark arts of royal biography, interrogates Phil and puts his theories to the test. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Diana-Story-Princess-Tim-Clayton/dp/0743422066 You can now get in touch with the show...team@podcastworld.org(Place 'Scandal Mongers' in the heading please) This show is Part of the PodcastWorld.org networkFilmed in Kentish Town, London.Production by Theo X, Kerem Isik, and David Kurzer Hosted on Acast.

In today's episode Andrew and Phil explore some truly shocking allegations about one of the most celebrated figures of the 20th Century, Lord Louis Mountbatten, and reveal new evidence and insights into what could be one of the greatest scandals in the history of the British royal family.Andrew's book on Mountbatten and his wife Edwina created a sensation when it was published in 2019. Packed with new accounts of the highs and lows of a remarkable life it included the many rumours and allegations that had long circulated about the famous Lord, and critically it also included named witnesses testifying that they had been abused by him. The book - along with Andrew's campaign to gain full access to the papers of the Mountbatten family - propelled the story onto the front pages of the British press for the first time.Much of Andrew's work involves a long-running British abuse scandal, the Kincora Boy's Home affair. Having made a groundbreaking TV investigation of this story in the 1990s, breaking Britain's Official Secret's Act on behalf of the BBC, Phil brings a unique perspective of his own to this dark but fascinating subject.Andrew Lownie Mountbatten Book review...www.dailymail.co.uk/home/event/arti…ountbatten.htmlAndrew Lownie.twitter.com/andrewlowniePhil Craig.twitter.com/philmcraigYou can now get in touch with the show...team@podcastworld.org(Place 'Scandal Mongers' in the heading please)This show is Part of the PodcastWorld.org network.Recorded in Kentish Town, London.Production by Theo X, Kerem Isik, David Kurzer.Available on YouTube, ITunes, Stitcher, Spotify and Soundcloud.

The gift of self and right relationship with others (and Fr Toby admits that he ended up in Kentish Town police station this weekend!)

What role should regulators play in levelling up under a Labour government? We discussed with Baroness Hayter of Kentish Town, Chair of the Lords International Agreements Select Committee; Martin Coppack Martin Coppack, Director of Fair By Design; and Ben Fisher, Director of Communications at the Solicitors Regulation Authority. The event was chaired by Dr Matthew Gill, Programme Director at the Institute for Government. This event was recorded at the 2022 Labour Party Conference in Liverpool.

Helen's wonderful humour combined with her raw accounts of diagnosis, epilepsy and having to be in that constant state of alert give us a deep insight into their lives. We learn a lot about the extremes of juggling life from finding childcare for a young child with complex needs, getting the appropriate support and funding, to the balancing act after returning to full time work. All three Mums talk about their very different experiences and the choices they have made about going back to paid work and the impact of the unpaid work they do as Mum's and carers to disabled children. Trigger and Content WarningsEpilepsyIntubation Not suitable for little earsLanguage - lots of swearing, mentions of drinking alcohol.Guest BiographyHelen grew up in the blusterous but beautiful North Coast of Ireland, a place she still calls home. After studying architecture in Edinburgh, Kansas and Paris, Helen moved to London to practice, married her husband Marcus, a rugged Scot, and they had Finn ‘the tornado' in 2015. Marcus & Helen's world was rocked when Finn had his first seizure at 4 months old, soon after which he was diagnosed with the genetic condition Dravet Syndrome. The family live in Kentish Town, North London where they frequently ‘buggy-run' Finn through Hampstead Heath and the Regents Canal. Helen works full time as an Architect (and also once worked in a circus!) She gets great satisfaction from her work, especially knowing she gets to go home to a great BIG Finnster hug.GlossaryConvulsive (Tonic-Clonic) seizures - Tonic (lose consciousness) and Clonic (your limbs jerk about or you lose control of your bladder/may bite your tongue or have difficulty breathing)Convulsive Status seizures - is when either a tonic-clonic seizure lasts for 5 minutes or more, or one tonic-clonic seizure follows another without the person regaining consciousness in between. If either of these things happen, the person needs urgent treatment to stop the Status before it causes long-term damage. If Convulsive Status Epilepticus lasts for 30 minutes or longer it can cause permanent brain damage or even death.

On the 50th anniversary of the International Wages for Housework Campaign, Frankie Lister-Fell spoke to activist, writer and campaigner Selma James. Selma co-founded Kentish Town's Women's Crossroads Road Centre in 1975, and it is the longest standing women's centre in London.  Selma speaks about the campaign's success, initial resistance from feminists, and how, if at all, things have improved for women and unpaid carers across the world.  

In this episode we talk to Dr Iona Heath, a retired GP from Kentish Town and former President of the RCGP. She talked to us after writing an editorial for the BJGP. She discusses the current crisis in UK general practice and offers an approach that can tackle some of the deep-rooted problems we face.  The editorial: Rewilding general practice.

It was an awayday to remember, well just because going away with a load of friends is always the best way to make football memories. Jon, Mike (with Flo and Arlo), DCW and Colin (with another Flo and Lilly) made the short trip to The Emirates to see Watford's disapponitingly lose 1-0. Join them as their journey through London, including a fry up brunch, deciding on a best Watford Loanee XI, then heading to Colin's local pub, The Pineapple in Kentish Town, before the 2pm kick off at The Arsenal for a game and a performance they really weren't looking forward to. An awayday is a good day, even if Watford lose, and this is FROM THE ROOKERY END.

Fiat CEO Olivier François has already confirmed that a hotter electrified Abarth version is in the works, but now we have confirmation that far more electrification will enter Fiat's lineup. In fact, the Italian brand intends to go completely electric before the end of this decade." according to Motor1.com: "As for Fiat's electric ambitions, though the 500e looks quite similar to internal-combustion-powered versions of the iconic small car, it's actually the first car from the brand built from the ground-up to be an EV. Manufactured in Turin, Italy, the 500e features a 42 kWh battery powering a single electric motor good for 118 bhp (88 kilowatts). " https://uk.motor1.com/news/512093/fiat-all-electric-automaker-2030/ VOLKSWAGEN CONSIDERS AN IPO FOR THEIR BATTERY DIVISION"Volkswagen is considering an IPO for its new battery division. According to Chief Technology Officer Thomas Schmall, this does not involve individual plants but the entire cell business." reports electrive: "By 2030, Volkswagen plans to build six new giga-factories for cell production with its partners in Europe alone, at a cost in the double-digit billions, as the Group announced at its Power Day in March. According to [Chief Technology Officer Thomas Schmall] Schmall, this is enough to equip more than five million cars with batteries. For China and the plants on the American continent in the USA and Mexico, further factories would probably be added if VW also wants to rely on the standard battery cell there. https://www.electrive.com/2021/06/01/volkswagen-considers-an-ipo-for-their-battery-division/ UK FIRM'S UNIQUE EV DESIGN COULD BOOST RANGE BY 30%"A London-based start-up has revealed an innovative electric car design solution that, it says, could allow for 30% more range per charge.  Page-Roberts, founded in 2019, aims to "dramatically upscale EV efficiencies with cutting-edge engineering solutions that deliver design elegance." says Autocar: ""Pointing to the added height, extended wheelbase and "structural complexities" of a conventional 'skateboard' arrangement, Page-Roberts posits that a vertically oriented power pack could improve the design, user experience and manufacturing cost of electric cars. The battery would be positioned between two rows of opposite-facing seats, in an arrangement that, Page-Roberts claims, is "far more compact" than existing designs. It would also allow the car to sit lower, be more aerodynamically efficient and weigh less." https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/industry-news-manufacturing/uk-firms-unique-ev-design-could-boost-range-30 VOLKSWAGEN TAKING OVER A GREEK ISLAND WITH ITS EVS, GOVERNMENT SUPPORTS THE MOVE"Late last year, Volkswagen announced it would be “investing” in the Greek island of Astypalea by converting the island's mobility infrastructure from ICEs to EVs. With around 1,500 ICE vehicles on the island, there was no odor of eco-friendly goodness." says autoevolution: "The five-year plan is meant to transform Astypalea into the first “smart and sustainable island” among the Greek provinces and act as an example for the rest of Greece. It's also a platform for study, helping Volkswagen understand a myriad of factors that will surely affect a transition to an electric society.  Astypalea is currently a mostly diesel-driven island, as very few alternative energy sources have been set up except generators. But Volkswagen seems to embrace this as it offers a perfect laboratory in which to test all subsequent stages of a transition." https://www.autoevolution.com/news/volkswagen-taking-over-a-greek-island-with-its-evs-government-supports-the-move-162575.html NISSAN LAUNCHES FLAGSHIP ARIYA EV IN JAPAN"Nissan Motor has started taking preorders in Japan for limited editions of its first new battery electric car in a decade. The Japanese carmaker is pinning hopes on the Ariya, its first all-electric crossover SUV, to pep up its EV range." says Nikkei Asia: "Nissan said it would also do more to attract customers unfamiliar with electric vehicles, opening a website on Friday to allow Ariya preordering and virtual driving using augmented reality technology. Nissan's chief operating officer, Ashwani Gupta, told Nikkei Asia in a recent interview that the Japanese carmaker is set to share close to 70% of key EV components with its alliance partners, France's Renault and Japan's Mitsubishi Motors, to lower EV production cost." https://asia.nikkei.com/Business/Automobiles/Nissan-launches-flagship-Ariya-EV-in-Japan NISSAN POSTPONES ‘ARIYA' LAUNCH DUE TO LACK OF CHIPS"Nissan is postponing the market launch of its new electric model Ariya by several months due to the ongoing chip shortage. The Japanese domestic market is to be served first, so an export to Europe in 2021 seems rather unlikely." according to electrive: "When the Ariya was first unveiled in July last year, Nissan had announced that it would be on the market in mid-2021. Now the company announced that only a limited edition of the Ariya will be available for launch in Japan from “this winter”, for which pre-orders are now opening there. Reservations for the Ariya in Europe, the USA and China will be possible “later this year”. Nissan does not reveal when exactly deliveries to export markets are to start. That Nissan has chosen to start with the simplest model rather than the top-of-the-line four-wheeler in the face of the chip shortage is likely due precisely to the lack of semiconductors: The smaller battery with fewer modules requires fewer electronics" https://www.electrive.com/2021/06/04/nissan-postpones-ariya-launch-due-to-lack-of-chips/ EV STARTUPS RACE FOR A 'GOLDEN TICKET' ORDER"The future of a bevy of commercial EV startups seeking investor capital through blank-check IPOs rests largely in the hands of a small group of big companies such as UPS, FedEx, DHL and Amazon. With each carrier having tens of thousands of vehicles in its global fleet, an order from a package delivery giant can launch a startup on the road to manufacturing scale and profitability, and serve as a marketing tool to win orders from other big customers." reports Autmotive News: " Some startups already have their golden ticket. Arrival, which went public via a merger with a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC), has an order for up to 10,000 vans from UPS. The Arrival electric test van decked out in UPS' distinct brown livery is popular with drivers at the package delivery giant's facility in London's Kentish Town district. During a demonstration of the van by Luke Wake, UPS vice president of maintenance and engineering, several drivers asked: "When can we drive one?" The van's battery pack will allow UPS to add automatic doors for drivers and LED lights in the back to help drivers find packages more quickly. Such features can save seconds per delivery -- which add up as UPS delivers 2 billion packages annually." https://www.autonews.com/manufacturing/ev-startups-race-golden-ticket-order TEXAS BID TO IMPOSE SPECIAL STATE TAX ON ELECTRIC VEHICLES FAILS — FOR NOW"An effort to impose what amounts to a special state tax on electric vehicles fell short of the finish line in the recently concluded legislative session, although the reprieve from new road use fees might be temporary." saus Austin American Statesman: "That's because debate about the issue largely focused on how much and when — not if — owners of electric and other vehicles that aren't powered by gasoline should pay. The possible fees are likely to come up again in 2023 during the next regular session of the Legislature, if not before then in a special session. the legislation, which would have set the fee at $200 annually for most electric cars, calling it nearly double the amount many drivers of equivalent conventionally powered vehicles pay in gasoline taxes each year." https://eu.statesman.com/story/business/2021/06/02/texas-senate-bill-state-tax-electric-vehicles-fails-for-now/7490493002/ QUESTION OF THE WEEK ANSWERSRajeev NArayanI think for most workplaces, 7.2 kW or even 3.8 kW Level II chargers would suffice. In just a few hours these chargers could offset the commute to and from work also, for the cost of just one DC fast charger, you could buy several level II chargers.  If these were more common, it would make EVs an option for people who do not have access to charging at home. Ideally it would be nice if workplaces got incentives to help offset the cost of installation, and for adding solar to help charge vehicles. Some places here in San Antonio simply contract with Charting companies, unfortunately they typically charge about 31c/kWh, and install just a few chargers to maximize profits. I would prefer if workplaces install their own chargers and either provide free charging or charge less exorbitant prices. Shahad ChoudhuryWe need more, slower chargers at workplaces. My work is limited to 8 chargepoint plugs because of the grid connection, but it only takes a couple hours to charge up most EVs on them.  This led to lots of frustration and wasted time (pre lockdown) when people moved their full cars, since multiple other people are all rushing down to try and get the spot when they're notified Barry WolfFor USA: run many (at least 10% of spaces) 20 amp circuits to the parking lot, with one circuit per parking spot, using 4 conductor cable but make each circuit a 120 V circuit (extra unused conductor enables 240 V service in the future). Charging at either 12 amps or 16 amps @ 120V for eight hours will provide ~11 kWh or ~15 kWh, respectively, of energy during the work day. This will provide30 to 60 miles of range, depending on EVSE amperage and car efficiency. Either have people bring own EVSE or provide L1 EVSEs.  Karl CramerI'd be happy if every workplace parking lamppost had an outdoor GFCI rated plug socket at its base. Since were there for 8-12 hours anyway we can get a long slow charge that's better for our battery life anyway. Ron BarberI assisted in the specification and configuration of the chargers at my workplace 2.5 years ago. One site of about 600 people we installed 14 Level 2 chargers (7.6kW or 3.8kW if both of the pair in use). A second location has about 1200 people and 24 Level 3 chargers. The units are from ClipperCreek which has provided excellent service. There is no charge to using the units but we ask people to use for only 4 hrs per session. It can vertebrae a point of contention with the number of EVs more than tripling since install.I also developed hardware and software to monitor the chargers and provide a web site for status.  The charging power is a bit low but some constraints on available power near the parking lot, but I did take a survey prior to speciation (about a year in planning) and collected commute distances and EV types to analyze average charging times needed. The system has proven to be well utilized. Michael ClasquinLots and lots of 240 volt sockets  that we can plug our granny chargers into, weatherproofed if necessary. Eight hours on a granny charger will get anybody home.  Stephen TroyerI think the type of charging at workplaces should be slow charging or bi-directional.  High speed chargers don't make as much sense at a work place because they'll run when demand on the grid is high, and because the average work day is long enough to get a charge from flat to full at a slow rate.  Bi-directional charging could make a lot of sense because then all those cars could help meet the peaks in demand and then put power back in before the end of the employees' work day so that they have plenty of power for the round trip home and back.  QUESTION OF THE WEEK WITH EMOBILITYNORWAY.COM What noises, if any, should electric vehicles make (inside or outside the vehicle) Email me your thoughts and I'll read them out on Sunday – hello@evnewsdaily.com   It would mean a lot if you could take 2mins to leave a quick review on whichever platform you download the podcast. And  if you have an Amazon Echo, download our Alexa Skill, search for EV News Daily and add it as a flash briefing. Come and say hi on Facebook, LinkedIn or Twitter just search EV News Daily, have a wonderful day, I'll catch you tomorrow and remember…there's no such thing as a self-charging hybrid. PREMIUM PARTNERSPHIL ROBERTS / ELECTRIC FUTURE BRAD CROSBYPORSCHE OF THE VILLAGE CINCINNATIAUDI CINCINNATI EASTVOLVO CARS CINCINNATI EAST NATIONALCARCHARGING.COM and ALOHACHARGE.COM DEREK REILLY FROM THE EV REVIEW IRELAND YOUTUBE CHANNELRICHARD AT RSEV.CO.UK – FOR BUYING AND SELLING EVS IN THE UKEMOBILITYNORWAY.COM/

Mae Muller UK singer songwriter bringing her heart and soul into her art strongly supported by her parents, "Dad never misses a show" says Mae in the podcast. She is focusing on her and dedicated to building her life and dreams and encourages others to make sure you have your own life and don't give too much of yourself away because at the end of the day you are all you have. She speaks with such strength and passion and her music is inspired heavily by Rihanna who she would love to co-write with sometime. Muller is still only 21, but she describes herself as a “late bloomer,” having only penned her first song two years ago. That track, “Close,” remains on her SoundCloud to this day, a symbol of where she has come from and a reminder of the raw emotion she puts into each of her relatable pop bangers. Putting that song online, alongside short Rihanna & Frank Ocean covers on Instagram, helped Mae get her first music industry attention. Fast forward through a whirlwind 18 month period and she's released two EPs and has formed the sound of a versatile young artist who speaks directly to and for her generation. Music for Mae begun when growing up in Kentish Town, North London, where it was always a part of her life but not necessarily as a career path. “The music was something I was always interested in and loved, but I didn't go to music school or anything. I did it for fun. I've always enjoyed creative writing, but I only started writing song 18 months ago.” she recalls of her younger days. In fact, working behind her local bar convinced her to pursue music further. “I had a few shitty jobs and worked in a pub. When I was at the pub I kept thinking, 'I don't know what I'm doing.' I uploaded a song that I'd written to Soundcloud and that is when it all started. It was very quick.” Those early days remain a constant influence though: “North London shaped me as a person and as an artist. Every time I feel my accent slipping I have to cut it out immediately.” Connect with Mae: Website Facebook Instagram Spotify YouTube Twitter Support Songwriter Trysts - Buy Rae Leigh a coffee HERE

It's not an exaggeration to say that Dilys Daws' contribution to the field of child mental health and child psychotherapy has been immense. Spanning over five decades, her career as a Child & Adolescent Psychotherapist is notable in many respects as a clinician and shaping public opinion and government policy about the importance of infant mental health. In the 1980's Dilys began speaking to the public and government about the work of child psychotherapists with their patients, raising awareness of the profession and the difficulties babies and parents experience in a way that had never been done before. Her books, such as Through the Night, which focus on the difficulties infants and parents experience , have become classics for therapists and new parents alike. Their popularity is perhaps due to the fact that they are based on fifty years of careful observation of babies and their families, many of them spent in the same baby clinic. It is Dilys' ability to influence government policy and collaborate with different child professions, as well as her extraordinary clinical work which is really quite remarkable which mark her out as one of the most important child psychotherapists of her generation. Because since 1976, Dilys has been transforming the lives of children and parents in what might be to some an unconventional setting for psychotherapeutic work. Each week she has been going to the James Wigg GP Practice, in Kentish Town, London to stand by the weighing scales, observing what takes place as parents bring in their babies to be checked. In this interview with Jane O'Rourke, hear Dilys discuss: Highlights: 3'00: Parent-infant work in the community setting of a baby clinic 5'00: The importance of child therapists being brave in their clinical work 7'40 How experiencing difficulty herself, as a young mother, led Dilys to become a child psychotherapist 13'05 How Dilys broke the taboo of child psychotherapists speaking to the media about child mental health in the early 1980's 13'55 The importance of acknowledging the emotional turmoil which having a new baby can provoke in parents. 17'00 The discoveries parents can make by observing their babies 18'00 The importance of helping new fathers who are struggling 21'13 Ghosts in the nursery: connections between a baby's problems and their parents' childhood traumas 24'25 The taboos of breastfeeding, such as the sensuality of it 30'00 A child psychotherapist's advice for others after nearly 60 years of clinical work Dilys Daws' writings and activities in promoting child psychotherapy are significant. In 1996 she set up the Association for Infant Mental Health UK, a networking body for professionals working with infants. Dilys cofounded the Child Psychotherapy Trust in 1989 and had a significant role in developing awareness of child psychotherapy in the UK among the public and the government. Following this, the training for child psychotherapy was negotiated by the Association for Child Psychotherapy within the NHS. It was during this time under her tenure in the early 1990's, that she encouraged fellow child psychotherapists to speak to the media about child mental health and the difficulties their patients were experiencing - and perhaps broke a taboo that had existed until then.

In our fourth episode, we bring together two of the UK's most pioneering doctors to explore what a very different future for healthcare could be like. What would it be like if doctors' surgeries were key players in the wider Transition of the community, actively stimulating a reimagining of food, energy, community and much more? In this episode we are joined by Dr Jane Myat, doing amazing work at the Caversham Group Practice in Kentish Town, North London since 1997. She is a passionate advocate of finding alternative patient-centred approaches to long-term conditions. Inspired by pioneering GPs such as Sam Everington and by our second guest here, and assisted by Transition Kentish Town, Jane founded the Listening Space, a project centred around a community garden in the courtyard of her family practice. Dr Michael Dixon is a Devon GP whose CV and list of roles within the NHS is glittering and includes numerous national leadership roles. To name just two, he is a Chair of the College of Medicine and Clinical Champion for Social Prescription (NHS England) and Chair of The Institute for Social Prescription.

(Featuring Ross Bain) KTW was without a doubt the most well organised and popular backyard wrestling group to come out of the United Kingdom in the mid to late 2000's. During a time when Myspace dominated social media and YouTube was in it's early days, KTW was gathering views in the 10,000's and was building a popular following with fans from all around the world. Based in London and with a roster of 10+ characters, I talk with Ross Bain about the early days, best moments and how it transcended our understanding of wrestling into the professional world. #BackyardWrestling #BYW #Backyard #Wrestling #UK #British #WWE #WCW #ECW #AEW #History #Podcast #Myspace #YouTube 

Stockholm-born Oscar Gustave Rejander (1813–1875) relocated to the UK in the 1830s. Some twenty years later he abandoned his profession as a painter to pursue a career in photography. Karen Hellman, assistant curator in the Department of Photographs at the Getty Museum talks about the medium of photography in the 1850s – what it was and what Rejlander thought that the medium could do. Rejlander's position as an outsider allowed him to do what was not expedited, like double exposures, photographic manipulations and retouching. Today he is often referred to as the father art photography, a pioneer experimenting with the medium. We talk about his legacy and how it fits within photo history and about his wife Mary Bull, her role as a model and support running the studio in Kentish Town, London. https://theartword.com

My guest this week is the author and poet Joe Dunthorne. Joe’s novels include The Adulterants and Wild Abandon, as well as Submarine, which was turned into a critically acclaimed film. Joe is an old friend and helped nudge me into the water in my early 20s with good humour and a modicum of peer pressure. We sat down in London’s Kentish Town to discuss shallow dives, sibling rivalry on the beach and the perils of social media for the chronically anxious.

Boris Johnson now has the majority he needs to pass the Withdrawal Agreement Bill in the House of Commons. This event looked at what the bill does – and doesn’t – say as well as the prospect for any amendment in the House of Lords. Our panel included: Baroness Hayter of Kentish Town, Shadow Deputy Labour Leader in the House of Lords Lord Anderson of Ipswich QC, Crossbench Peer and Barrister at Brick Court Chambers Stephen Crabb MP, former Secretary of State for Wales and for Work and Pensions Joanna Cherry QC MP, SNP Justice and Home Affairs spokesperson and MP for Edinburgh South West The event was chaired by Jill Rutter, Senior Fellow at the Institute for Government. There was an opportunity for audience questions.

London is blessed with hundreds of great pubs. But for me one stands tall above the rest: a beacon of everything that is great about this British institution. It also happens to be my local. The Southampton Arms in Kentish Town, North London feels like it’s been there forever—it’s all worn wood, rickety chairs, stained walls, and sepia photos. It breaks all the perceived rules of running a pub. Up until last year it had 12 cask lines, six cider lines, and just two keg lines. It didn’t take cash and only served a few bar snacks. It had a one-page website and an almost untouched Twitter account. On paper it shouldn’t work, and yet the perfectly kept casks flowed constantly. Things have changed a little since then, but not by much. On a Monday night, during the live piano performances, you can hardly move; on Tuesday, during the pub quiz, the same drunk man screams questions over the top of people’s heads at the bar. Even at the height of winter, Friday and Saturday crowds spill out into the tiny backyard area, blocking the way to the outhouse toilet. It’s the most effortlessly welcoming, cozy pub I have ever been to, and it quickly became my favorite pub in the world. Amazingly, it only celebrated its 10-year anniversary in November. Its cofounder, Pete Holt, is a soft-spoken guy who has that enviable skill of seeming to like exactly what everyone else likes. Despite the rise of keg beer and gastropubs he wanted to open a simple real ale boozer, and it seems everyone in North London approved.  He did the same with the Cock Tavern in Hackney, when he opened the borough’s first brewpub in 2011. Howling Hops started in the basement but just a few years later expanded to its own brewery and taproom site in Hackney Wick, where it now pours a wide range of beers straight from the tanks. Its beers are staunchly modern and usually hop-forward, but you’ll still see lots of Howling Hops casks at the Southampton sat next to breweries that have been stocked for the full decade—breweries like Marble, Thornbridge, Moor, and Oakham. In my conversation with Pete, we talk about the inspiration behind his three sites; the unique challenges of running a business that spans production, logistics and serving; and what it’s been like to watch London change over a decade through the lens of beer. This is Pete Holt of Howling Hops. Listen in.

This week, I can say I have one of my closet friends at the Studio. To me and many, he's an inspiration, a cultural icon, a style king and also a great dad. It's been a minute since we had our last weekly coffee on upper St. in Angel and actually our last one was in Kentish Town on the strip and it was times like those that really built our relationship it took our conversation to another level and we bonded with our similarities, estate life, young dads and the finding of culture and it's growth into a creative life. As the years have passed and life cracks on and asks more of your day we don't grab as many coffees as we used too but we've always been in contact in some way even though he doesn't have a phone! This is one half of the legendary TaskForce, the Highbury Estate veteran and to me an oracle of life in the North East of our city, Farma G!. He has experienced loads, put himself through a bag load of actions and activities and this was all before he finished school. It was so dope having him round, we chat about loads of things whilst we catch the story of his come up, from copping 7inch records in the local newsagent, to his various hustles on Upper St and also him and his peers concerted effort to get on a mic by any means necessary and let heads know.. We go from life in the manor, his interest in music and introduction to graffiti, to meeting Intense in his first year at secondary and setting up The Bury Crew. We chat about the meeting of Mark B and Taskforces first EP and then the Lowlife years all the way through to his new projects with a load of his thoughts and processes in-between. Another dope point to make about this interview there was another legend from the city and a friend of mine in the studio, TEACH DDS happened to be visiting, stayed for the chat and added a couple of amazing points and reminders for Farma which added to the convo, big up King Teach. Farma is a brother from another manor, a guide from the other side and a friend to very end.. we have an amazing conversation, two friends talking, and we go deep, Big up Farms... PS the dog you hear barking isn't Brie, it's a spaniel down the hall, he was fine.. Enjoy..

We are joined by Caps &Taps and Will Hawkes for the first of our specials with The Bottle Shop  It's officially summer!  We've been treated to a pretty good spring, if truth be told, so let's raise a glass to the sun and hope that it continues.  What shall we fill that glass with though? Well, to help us make our minds up, we've recorded a collection of special podcasts with the fantastic Bottle Shop. You may recognise Andrew Morgan from a previous episode earlier this year – this time he joins Sue in the presenting seat and has brought along a few friends. If you happen to find yourself in the Kentish Town or Camden areas of London soon, you should probably make sure that you fire Caps and Taps into your Google Maps. It won't take long. When you find it, you won't regret it… as long as you don't need any more than 400 beers to try at their craft beer shop. Stephanie Palgrave-Elliot talks us through the story. Caps and Taps has an important seal of approval from our other podcast guest this week too. It's the king of the beer writers, Will Hawkes (seriously… he once won beer writer of the year). We think Will has the best job in the world – he gets paid to drink and write about beer for publications like The Guardian, Washington Post, FT and Imbibe. Check him out.

Hugh Cornwell was one of the major figures in early British punk rock. He was the lead singer, guitarist and songwriter in The Stranglers, the hugely influential band who scaled the charts with hits like No More Heroes, Peaches, and Always The Sun, and always marched to the beat of their own drum. Hugh smuggled Leon Trotsky into the charts and more covertly heroin – the real subject of their 1981 hit single Golden Brown. But he left the band 25 years ago to concentrate on his own recordings – earlier this month he released The Fall And Rise Of Hugh Cornwell, the first anthology of his post-Stranglers career, and he’s just begun a major acoustic tour of the UK. Here Hugh talks about his formative years in Kentish Town, North London, the band he formed with schoolmate Richard Thompson (later of Fairport Convention fame), and why he decided to go solo. Along the way he discusses the drug bust that saw him do time in Pentonville prison, biochemistry, his novels and his journey from entertaining gobbing yobs at those dangerously thrilling early punk gigs to literary snobs at the more refined Hay-on-Wye literary festival.

In the wake of the great jazz trumpeter's death I'd been a little dismayed that Donald Byrd was being celebrated by my Facebook friends mainly for the his 70's recordings with the Mizell Brothers. Of course these are all amazing tunes, and I love them as intensely as anyone. Way back in the 90s I was asked by Blue Note Japan to choose an album from the catalogue for re-release in Japan, and I chose Places ANd Spaces, at a time when the Mizell Brothers recordings had not yet gained the formidable reputation they deservedly have today. However Donald Byrd had already enjoyed a prodigous career that went back to 1955, almost twenty years before he stepped in the studio with the fusion pioneers. So it was my intent to play a greater breadth of Byrd's works on the show whilst not ignoring his later crossover material. I'd even lined up "Lovin' You" and "Love Has Come Around" for the closing sequence. However I arrived at the studio and launched into my selection following the usual bit of banter with messrs Allen and Hale of The Wildstyle, only to discover about twenty minutes in, that not only had I left those two anthemic twelves back in Kentish Town but that also my back-up cd on which I thought I'd burned some more of his classics was actually blank! So if you hear a note of panic in my voice round about "Elijah", that's why! No worries, I had plenty of original Byrd vinyl and a bunch of CDs to cover my losses, however what my "space cadet" forgetfulness meant was that the show became just a bit more "hardcore", in fact I ended up playing hardly any of Byrd's most celebrated works, and that I regard as being providential! Everything happens for a reason. My only regret was that without those two tunes for the last half hour I wasn't able to naturally plug this Saturday's If Music session at Plastic People, "Love Is In The Air,And In The Titles". But there you go If Music presents a post Valentine's celebration of "love" records, strictly vinyl featuring Myself , If's Jean Claude Thompson and Budgie from Honest Jons, Saturday 16th, Plastic People!! So two hours of Byrd which focusses on the jazz musician and composer ( though he didn't actually write any of the tunes he's best known for), and I talk a bit about his role as an educator and perpetual student. Definitely something of a polymath, Donald Byrd was one of the last few jazzers who connects with that post-bop tradition, there's only the likes of Sonny Rollins, Wayne Shorter and Ahmad Jamal left and maybe a few more but a rapidly dwindling coterie of jazz legends. However his career, and the choices he made, stand as a testament to a a great man who had an ability to reach out communicate, educate and involve way beyond his role as a jazz musician. Spanning from his 57 recording with Gigi Gryce through to a lovely tribute tune from 95, Ahmad Jamal's "Big Byrd", basically a dialogue betwwen two of my favourite ever players, this Is Donald Byrd.

Finally she hears from a white British mum about her take on the presence of migrants in Camden. Hear what she makes of it all. Over 70 Stations will broadcast locally and online.
