In this live X Spaces episode, Paul, Fevs and listeners have a brilliant debate around the Swansea defeat, January window, and Brian Tinnion's comments in his Radio Bristol interview pre-game.

Another glorious chance to secure 6th place, if only for a few days, gone in a game that started well enough and would have seen us out of sight were it not for two fine saves from the Swans keeper. That being said the visitors had two goal chances themselves which better sides would have seen punish our defensive openness. We huffed & puffed after Swansea took the lead but to no avail as we went in search of an equaliser which, on balance, we probably deserved.Barring a miracle this season really is done now!DaveP, Tom Sutton and the Toveys also give their takeaways from the Radio Bristol interview with Tinnion. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Many of us are travel looking for food experiences and we often want to eat something that is authentically of that place. So we seek out the local delicacy which hopefully reflects the local landscape, history and people. However many of the foods we think of as quintessential ‘destination' foods are elevated in the 20th century with the rise of easier travel and more and more tourism. On the other hand, it's easier than ever to access to ‘global' food in the towns and cities we live in. Sheila Dillon explores what travelling to eat looking for authentic experiences means in an increasingly globalised world.We start the programme hearing the story of Nashville Hot Chicken from journalist Zach Stafford. In recent history, Hot Chicken went from an obscure speciality of a specific community in North Nashville, Tennessee to one if it's most iconic symbols. Zach tells the story of how Hot Chicken became part of the ‘Disnification' of Nashville as it has become a popular tourist destination. But like so much of American culture the story is racialised with new white owned businesses making money from a food created by a black community.Sheila then travels to Brussels to become a food tourist herself. Guided by Elisabeth Debourse, Editor-in-Chief at Le Fooding she explores whether the search for the elusive ‘authentic' local food is helpful in trying to get a good meal. She visits Rue des Bouchers and restaurant Les Brigittines.Someone who's thought a lot about food and place is food writer Anya von Bremzen. It's something she explores in her latest book is National Dish. She talks about how many iconic foods linked to place are much more modern than we might think.The Food Programme is based in Bristol and although the city has a distinct culture, it doesn't have an iconic ‘destination food.' Sheila talks to is an actor, born and bred Bristolian and the new presenter of ‘A Proper Bristol Breakfast,' the Radio Bristol morning show about Bristol's eclectic food identity.Produced by Sam Grist for BBC Audio in Bristol

We made it to Episode 200... join us for a chat at Steak of the Art with two very special guests!

We are setting the table with Recipes for Cobblers, Jam, and Pie made from fruits of the season. Guests include: - Farmers Susan and John Keller have been farming in Blount County, TN, on their family farm in continuous operation since 1890. UT Extension awarded John Keller Tennessee Farmer of the Year in 2014. Susan Keller shares a recipe for Miss Lily's Blackberry Cobbler. This recipe comes from her Grandmother (Lilian Bays Hitch). - Dee Dee Constantine (happily retired former food writer for the Knoxville News Sentinel) sets us straight on all of the terminology used in the arena of cobblers. She examines culinary terms such as brown Betty, cobblers, buckles, crisps, grunts, and slumps. - I (Amy Campbell) share a recipe for Blackberry Jam from that classic “Minnie Pearl Cooks” cookbook. - And an encore Farm and Fun-Time Heirloom Recipe segment recorded during the Farm and Fun Time Program at Radio Bristol - from storyteller Toni Doman sharing memories and her Grandmother's recipe for cherry pie.

Ian, Mark & DaveP discuss a 2-1 defeat against Championship Champions Burnley with a consensus view that we were worthy of a point. It was an inglorious final [probably] appearance for Alex Scott who trotted off the pitch to muted appreciation, his glaring error presenting the visitors with the opportunity some minutes earlier to retake the lead after Conway's cool finish had brought the sides level. For what it's worth if £20M + is offered for Scott we should take it and run as his form of late is doing nothing to justify a fee of this magnitude.  We also agree that talk of Joe Bryan making a return is no bad thing and offer reaction to Steve Lansdown's interview yesterday on Radio Bristol.

Our former player, and now Radio Bristol soccer pundit, Gary Owers gives his assessment of the 21/22 season in conversation with Ian Gay & Dave P There are many positives alongside the usual gripes as the usual close season speculation on transfers gathers pace. Can, should and will Nigel Pearson be able to persevere with WSM or should the side be built around a played in position Alex Scott, and how would the club react to a fair offer for Andi Weimann are amongst the topics discussed.

David Murrin is interviewed by Steve Yabsley on his own life and likes, including yachting and his time in Papua New Guinea. The conversation moves on to his famous Empire Cycle theory, the origin of the Pandemic, trade and Chinese expansion.

Patch and Matt are joined by ex City player and now regular commentator on Radio Bristol, Gary Owers to talk about a point on the road at Preston!

Former player Chris Honor has built a reputation as a co-commentator on Radio Bristol for telling it as it is and in this the first of a series of mid-season reviews on City he pulls no punches in his assessment of the current situation at Ashton Gate. Speaking with DaveP the conversation looks at the positives of the season so far but then in depth at the areas of concern which seem to reflect current fan opinion on the various social media platforms

Help produce Basic Folk by contributing at basicfolk.com/donateOnce Baltimore claw-hammer banjoist, radio host and community organizer Brad Kolodner got a banjo in his hands, it was game over. Brad had previously played the cello in the school orchestra and had held a strong interest in sports, but his true passion for old time was realized at Meadowlark Music camp in Maine. He signed up for the banjo for beginners class after his father (the renowned fiddle and hammer dulcimer player Ken Kolodner) brought him along to the camp under the condition that he was to play some kind of music that week. While Brad had grown up around traditional music through his father's performances with his band Helicon, dad's recordings and music lessons at the house, he wasn't drawn to that particular style of music. Once he started on the banjo, however, he began going down YouTube rabbit holes, going out to jams and soaking in as much as he could. Brad went to school in Ithaca, NY, where he started hosting a folk radio show that further deepened his love of old time. Once he returned home to Baltimore, he became invested in community organizing with weekly jams and music festivals.Brad's released albums with his band Charm City Junction, as Ken & Brad Kolodner and recently, he's put out his debut solo record, Chimney Swifts. The album focuses on what he calls “private music.” This is what musicians play when they first pick up their instruments, it's familiar and evokes time and place. In our conversation, he goes into detail about what that means and how the pandemic has impacted his practice of "private music." He also talks about his most recent project The Birds' Flight with Pete Sutherland and Timothy Cummings. Pete and Tim were working on Scottish songs and then decided to bring Brad in since he has an affinity towards genre-mixing and is a kick-ass banjo player. As a DJ, you can hear Brad on Folk Alley, Radio Bristol for the Old Time Jam and on Bluegrass Country Radio, you can find him playing at the Baltimore Old Time Jam, Baltimore Square Dance, Baltimore Old-Time Music Festival. And you can find him online teaching banjo and making everyone feel comfortable at the slow jam. Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

Former player Chris Honor talks fondly of Terry Cooper who gave him his League debut as a youngster in 1987. Chris is often on Radio Bristol in the commentary box as a pundit and he offers a very candid assessment of how he sees the current squad and its prospects in the season ahead. Chris says a win against Blackpool is essential as, on paper, the other fixtures before the international break look particularly tough.

Phil's now retired and living in Clevedon but for over 30 years his was the voice of Radio Bristol's matchday coverage of Bristol City. He, like myself and other reporters, used to travel with the team on matchdays in the 80s so we got to know the players and manager Terry Cooper who sadly passed away at the weekend. In addition to reviewing City's prospects for this coming season Phil talks with fondness for TC and recalls his selfless act in letting Clive Middlemass and long serving scout Jock Rae lead the team out on to the Wembley pitch on that memorable day in 1986

Little did we know as we started our live podcast that barely an hour after the final whistle we would be reporting on the ending of Dean Holden's tenure as Head Coach after just 41 games. He had a credible win rate of 44% but a sixth straight defeat in another dreadful showing against Reading who cruised to a 2-0 win brought about his demise. Mark, DaveFevs, Ian, Lezz & DaveP analyse the match action and went on to discuss the contents of Steve Lansdown's Radio Bristol interview before the rumours became fact that Holden had gone. Talk then switched to who will be next in the hot seat and has Lansdown got a masterplan that could surprise us all! Holden was no hero in the eyes of the City fans. He is a decent bloke but one who should never have got the job in the first place and the Man who fired the Holden Gun, Mark Ashton, looks as though he will live to fight another day.

Geoff, the sporting voice of Radio Bristol for over 25 years, took time out to chat with me about a range of topics including: Growing up in a football family [his dad was Chief Scout for Liverpool], his professional career including that rare period in the 80's when the Gas had the better of things, his transition into broadcasting and how, first & foremost, his loyalty to his audience prevails over not asking the difficult questions which we've witnessed in recent exchanges with SL & MA. A really good session in which Geoff also reveals he got an O Level in Russian and that phrase Mind the Gap cropped up in conversation!!! 

Patch and Matt catch up after the game one on one but first we went on with Geoff on Radio Bristol.  Thanks to Radio Bristol for the footage.

From history student to running one of the early commercial radio networks. In this hour of ‘Radio Moments – Conversations, Colin Mason tells of his move to the US where he indulged his love of radio whilst studying – and how he persuaded his way through the doors of local stations there.  Back home, after a short spell at the BBC, he moved to TV as a continuity announcer before returning to the Corporation at BBC Radio Durham and Radio Bristol.  As commercial radio began across the UK, Colin tells how it felt to set up the first station in Wales – Swansea Sound, before moving to launch Chiltern Radio as programme controller.   As the Chiltern network grew into Northampton, Milton Keynes - and Wales and the South West on winning the regional licence, Colin headed the management team for 14 years. He opens up the struggle to retain control – and how it felt when his efforts were thwarted and the stations were bought by GWR. Colin also tells of his radio ventures whilst serving in the Forces -and those in his new home in the Channel Islands. He shares his thoughts too on the future of radio,  and his philosophy – ‘This is showbiz – be an entertainer’. This is the Colin Mason story – in his own words.

Stephen Merchant first came to fame with the TV sitcom The Office, which he co-wrote and co-directed with Ricky Gervais. He continued to work with Gervais on the series Extras, Life is Short and An Idiot Abroad. His comedy hero as a young man was John Cleese and as a fellow tall West Country boy, he felt he would try his hand at a comedy career. As a teenager, he worked at Radio Bristol, was a wedding DJ and enjoyed drama at school. While at Warwick University, he created his own radio programme, The Steve Show. Those radio production skills encouraged him to send in his CV to a new London radio station, XFM, where the head of speech was Ricky Gervais. Following a successful interview – conducted in a pub – Stephen became Ricky’s assistant. Stephen left XFM to join a BBC training scheme. It was the short film he made with Ricky as part of his course which would eventually lead to the creation of The Office. Alongside his successful comedy partnership with Gervais, Stephen has pursued his acting and writing ambitions and this year wrote and directed his first film, Fighting with my Family, based on a family of wrestlers. His performance as a stand-up led to his HBO series Hello Ladies, and he starred in his first stage play, Richard Bean's The Mentalists, in London in 2015. His work has earned him two Golden Globe Awards, three BAFTAs, a Primetime Emmy Award, and four British Comedy Awards.

Lonnie Salyer is a crate digging, record collecting connoisseur of local treasures. On his radio program, Dig It with Big Lon, he spins the best vinyl our local area has to offer. Airing on Radio Bristol, out of the Birthplace of Country Music Museum, you can hear everything from the early Country and Bluegrass of the '20's and '30's, to R&B, Soul, and Gospel of the '60's and '70's, and all of it was recorded and put out by local studios, here in the Tri-Cities Region. Lonnie talks about getting into record collecting and how he came to be an appreciator of Appalachian culture a little bit later in life primarily through his interest in music. I loved this interview and loved meeting a like-minded person, interested in preserving and promoting our rich heritage here in Southern Appalachia. Sit back and enjoy our time together with Lonnie "Big Lon" Salyer.

Ozark Highlands Radio is a weekly radio program that features live music and interviews recorded at Ozark Folk Center State Park’s beautiful 1,000-seat auditorium in Mountain View, Arkansas. In addition to the music, our “Feature Host” segments take listeners through the Ozark hills with historians, authors, and personalities who explore the people, stories, and history of the Ozark region. This week, old time early radio days throwback quartet Bill and the Belles performs live at the Ozark Folk Center State Park. Also, interviews with these novel retro performers. Mark Jones offers an archival recording of Ozark original Aubrey Richardson performing the traditional song “Bunker Hill.” What began as a project to explore the space created between hillbilly and urban, between vaudeville and down home, has arrived somewhere entirely new. Bill and the Belles offers a contemporary reimagining of a bygone era, a vocal-centric performance that breathes new life into the sounds of early country music. At the foothills of the Blue Ridge and the forefront of old-time music, Bill and the Belles continue to further the music traditions of their region. From sentimental Southern ballads to the popular songs of Tin Pan Alley to regional fiddle breakdowns, a Bill and the Belles show is a celebration of the diversity country music once represented. Bill and the Belles play alongside America’s top country and roots music artists as the house band for the historic radio program Farm and Fun Time presented by Radio Bristol and the Birthplace of Country Music. Lifelong musicians Kris Truelsen, Grace Van’t Hof, Kalia Yeagle, and Karl Zerfas bring to the stage an uplifting show unlike any other, full of humor, high spirits, and all-around revelry. It’s clear this group shares a rare musical connection and deep love for the music, and their excitement is contagious. In this week’s “From the Vault” segment, musician, educator, and country music legacy Mark Jones offers an archival recording of Ozark original Aubrey Richardson performing the traditional song “Bunker Hill,” from the Ozark Folk Center State Park archives.
