This week on Go To Food Podcast, we sit down with restaurateur, landlord and former head chef of the legendary Bibendum, Jamie Younger. Fresh from the opening of The Victory on Lordship Lane, Jamie takes us inside the challenge of reimagining one of South London's most beloved neighbourhood institutions, Franklin's. From preserving its character while creating a new identity, to navigating the pressure of opening a major new venue in East Dulwich, Jamie shares the realities of taking on a local icon.We also explore the remarkable journey that took Jamie from a family-run restaurant in Cornwall to some of London's most celebrated kitchens. He reflects on his formative years under Simon Hopkinson at Bibendum, the lessons that shaped his approach to cooking, and why great ingredients and simplicity remain at the heart of everything he does. Along the way, we hear stories from The Wolseley, The Palmerston, and the highs and lows of building a career in hospitality.No conversation with Jamie would be complete without discussing The Begging Bowl. Long before Thai food became one of London's most exciting dining scenes, Jamie and chef Jane Alty were championing authentic regional Thai cooking in Peckham. He explains how his travels through Thailand inspired the restaurant, why he wanted to challenge the clichés of British Thai dining, and how The Begging Bowl became one of South London's most influential restaurants.Watch and Subscribe To Our Youtube Videos Here - https://www.youtube.com/@gotofoodGet 2 Months of Blinq For Free - With Code - GOTOBLINQ - https://blinqme.com/Order The Greatest Meat In The Country From HG Walter Here & Have Restaurant Quality Meals From Home - www.hgwalter.com Hosted on Acast.

The World Cup is just a week away and to mark the occasion, The Run-Through invited US Men's Soccer Team player Chris Richards on the podcast. Vogue fútbol fiends Taylor Antrim and Alyssa Hardy sit down with the young defender to talk about the journey to his first World Cup. Richards grew up in Hoover, Alabama, a town where American football reigns supreme. “Everybody knew everybody,” he explains, “and a lot of the kids that played soccer were also the kicker for the football team.” Soccer was hardly deemed a viable option. “I had teachers laugh at me when I told them I wanna do this for a living,” Richards tells the podcast, “But I just kept my head down and decided I wanted to prove them wrong. And I think I've done pretty well at that.”Fresh off an ankle injury, Richards is busy doing strength exercises and massaging the swelling down. He'll be sitting out the final friendlies match against Germany this weekend but is planning to play once the World Cup officially begins next week. “It feels like everybody's still kind of holding their breath.”They also chat about finding community through his time playing for Bayern Munich and Crystal Palace. “London is a beautiful place to find yourself. [South London] reminded me a lot of home—it's very hardworking and there are tons of cultures that I've been really excited to dive into.” The development of his personal style he also credits to his time abroad, being inspired by the influences of his teammates. Also on the episode, Chloe and Chioma catch up after some time apart. For the first time, Chloe served on the committee for the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund and had a part in determining the ten finalists. Chioma tells Chloe all about her time at the three-day British Vogue Wellness Retreat at Estelle Manor in the English countryside.

It's official. Beer festival season is in full swing. We're seeing new beers and new collaborations at every turn. What's even better is that we're seeing new breweries come to life, too. And in London last week, the capital's latest brewing business sprung into life. So say hello to South London's Palindrome Brew Co. Founded by Paul McTernan and Alin Sas, they're on a mission to make their mark with a community-focused brewery that puts hazy, hop-forward beers at the fore. But that's not to say you shouldn't expect other styles, too. Combining Paul's wealth of sales experience working for companies such as Verdant with Alin's deep knowledge of the industry, they've also enlisted Shawn Vail. Shawn is a graduate of the Siebel Institute of Technology. Moving over from the USA, he has previously worked for Stone Brewing Co among others, too.And last Saturday the team made their festival debut at Drop Project's excellent Friend's Fest, pouring their maiden IPA and DIPA releases. So what better time to catch up with one of the UK's most exciting new outfits. In this episode we speak with Paul to learn about how Palindrome came to be. Why leaving his dream job at Verdant was a step he needed to take and the brewery's focus on kegged output. We also discuss how Shawn's brewing prowess is already paying dividends and why figures such as Elusive Brewing's Andy Parker played a key role in setting Paul on his own path in beer.

Beyond thrilled to be introducing our next guest, Echo Juliet and this killer mix she cooked up- using her first love of percussion as the defining element of her sound. The DJ and producer swapped her classical music degree for Ableton and decks. A friendly, yet formidable force, her DJ sets journey through deep house, percussion-filled global electronic, and warm sounds which have seen her open for Bradley Zero, Tom VR, Nightmares on Wax, The Orb, Jeremy Sylvester and more. Receiving comparisons to Four Tet and Bonobo, her colourful productions dwell on the fringes of club music, leaning towards the leftfield. From high energy excitement to dreamy textures, she draws influence from broken-beat, deep house and classical percussion. Recently named one of DJ Mag's emerging artists to watch, her releases have also been featured in Bandcamp's Best Electronic list, played in legendary clubs such as Fabric, and supported by DJs including Axel Boman, Seb Wildblood, and BBC 6Music tastemakers Gilles Peterson, Nemone and Tom Ravenscroft. She has also featured on a compilation alongside electronic icons 808 State, and been remixed by Gold Panda. Radio credits have seen her guest hosting on NTS and mixes for Rinse FM and The Face Radio in New York, as well as hosting a radio series for promoter Soundcrash. Meanwhile, DJing has taken her from noted South-London party Rhythm Section and residencies for The Standard and Variations, to SXSW in Austin, We Out Here festival's second stage and playing to over 3,000 people at Dreamland Margate. Committed to creating a more inclusive music scene, she founded Future Proof for Bradley Zero's Rhythm Section label, has taught music production to women and non-binary folks for Saffron and is a director of DJ community Selextorhood.

Dopo Roma, West Ham, Olympiakos e Chelsea, è il Crystal Palace ad alzare la Conference League, competizione per club nata nella stagione 2021-2022. Dunque, la storia la scrivono i londinesi di South London: niente da fare per gli spagnoli del Rayo Vallecano, squadra del quartiere Vallecas di Madrid.

Joining me this month is saxophonist, vocalist, and producer @laura-emma-misch. A South London born musician, Laura began releasing her bedroom-produced EPs around 2017, until, feeling constricted and isolated by her recording environment, she moved her practice outdoors and into nature. The result was 2023's Sample The Sky, her debut album produced in response to the natural world. Her 2026 album Lithic was similarly crafted in outdoor spaces, inspired by stone and thus recorded in caves and quarries around the UK, and completed with percussion made by shell and rock. The music itself likewise harnesses the wind, not only in her ethereal vocals but also in the musing breath of her saxophone. In this conversation, we talk about breath and its importance for the horn, her unique approach to music making, and the necessity of a dialogue with the natural world. ++ MUSIC "Kairos" - Laura Misch (2026) "Listen to the Sky" - Laura Misch (2023) "Echoes" - Laura Misch (2026)

Eddie is the photographer behind some of the most iconic images of 90s hip hop, jungle and drum & bass, garage and grime. He was Metalheadz's official photographer, shot Wu-Tang Clan, Aaliyah, Biggie, Jay-Z, So Solid Crew, Estelle, Chronixx, and pretty much every rapper you cared about coming up. His work is currently exhibited at the V&A East, and he's spent the last 30 years documenting London's black music and dance culture.Eddie grew up in Brixton, Stockwell and Vauxhall, falling into record collecting at Groove Records in Soho when he was so small he couldn't see over the counter. He picked up his first camera in the late 80s — a Praktika left behind by a friend's granddad — and went on to build one of the most important visual archives of UK club culture. This is a long, deep, wide-ranging conversation, and one I came away from genuinely feeling like I'd learned something. I hope you do too.Topics covered:Growing up in South London and the village mentality of the areaEarly days at Groove Records, Red Records, Dub Vendor and the record shops of SohoGetting online in the mid-90s via Direct Connection in Stockwell — and how hip hop became the global languagePicking up a Praktika camera and falling into photography alongside record collectingWhy being analog matters in a "post-fact" world of remastered records and retconned historyThe Canon EOS 10 and learning to shoot in pitch-black clubsShooting jungle raves, Metalheadz, and protecting young people from tabloid demonisationHow Red Bull, smoking bans and changing crowd behaviour shifted the look and feel of clubsThe art of the loop — Alchemist, Dilla, No I.D. and chasing perfect samplesWorking with Wu-Tang as teenagers and learning to build a body of workPhotographing Aaliyah, Biggie, Jay-Z, Estelle and ChronixxAround the early days of grime and why he gravitated toward So Solid in South LondonDrum & bass being run by women, and the importance of Chemistry and StormThe General Levy "cancellation", gatekeeping, and protecting a cultureThe V&A East exhibition and the tension between DIY scenes and academic curationLee Scratch Perry, dub museums, and what music history should look likeMeta glasses, AI as a personal agent, and digital asset management for photographersHis advice for new photographers: intention is everything

Today, Sandy sits down with John Illsley, founding member and bassist of Dire Straits, for an intimate and revealing conversation about the extraordinary journey behind one of the most iconic bands in rock history.John takes us right back to the beginning, sharing the story of how a modest council flat in South London became the unlikely birthplace of Dire Straits. It was there that a chance encounter with Mark Knopfler—via his brother David—sparked a musical partnership that would go on to change their lives forever. What followed was a series of coincidences that feel almost like fate, from forming the band to recording their first demo tape.He recalls the pivotal moment when that demo, featuring Sultans of Swing, landed in the hands of influential radio DJ Charlie Gillett and was played on air—setting off a chain reaction that saw record companies clamouring to sign them almost overnight. It was the breakthrough that launched Dire Straits onto the global stage.From there, John reflects on the band's meteoric rise through the late 1970s and 1980s, as they became one of the biggest acts in the world. With timeless hits like Money for Nothing, Romeo and Juliet, Tunnel of Love and Brothers in Arms, Dire Straits created a sound that continues to resonate across generations. John shares insights into the creative process, the importance of band chemistry, and the unique musical connection he shared with Mark Knopfler.But alongside the success came the realities of life on the road. John speaks candidly about the pressures of global touring, the physical and emotional toll it took, and the moment the band realised it was time to step away. Despite playing to millions and reaching extraordinary heights, they made the difficult decision to walk away after their final tour in the early 1990s—preserving both their legacy and their relationships.The conversation also explores John's life beyond Dire Straits. He talks about his autobiography My Life in Dire Straits, a deeply personal reflection on the band's journey, as well as his eighth solo album Eight, created during lockdown in collaboration with his son. It's a project that highlights not only his enduring creativity but also the importance of family and connection.John also opens up about his passion for painting, his ongoing work as a musician, and his perspective on ageing, resilience and purpose. Having faced significant health challenges, including a long battle with leukaemia, he reflects on life with gratitude and a renewed sense of balance.Warm, thoughtful and often quietly humorous, this episode offers a rare glimpse into the life of a musician whose work helped define a generation—and who continues to evolve, create and inspire.If you'd like, I can also tailor a slightly shorter version for podcast apps that cut off descriptions early, or add a stronger hook in the first two lines to boost click-through.

History has been made at a rocking Selhurst Park! For the first time in their 120-year history, Crystal Palace are heading to a major European final. While the aggregate score reads a comfortable 5-2, the second leg was a night of high tension and "goosebump" moments under the South London lights.

A busy Saturday afternoon in Brixton. Market stalls are buzzing, Electric Avenue is filling with shoppers, and a black sports bag is left quietly on the pavement. At first, it was nothing out of the ordinary. Something forgotten and seemingly harmless. People even joked about it, but inside that bag was a nail bomb, ticking down in the middle of one of South London's most crowded communities. Within minutes, curiosity turned to confusion, and confusion turned to chaos. When it detonated, the explosion tore through the market, injuring dozens and leaving lives changed forever. And this wasn't an isolated attack. It was the first in a series of three nail bombings carried out over just three weeks, each one targeting a different community across London.In this episode of British Murders with Stuart Blues, we take a deep dive into the April 1999 London nail bombings and David Copeland's terror campaign. We break down the timeline in forensic detail, from the moment he constructed the first device in his Hampshire bedsit, to the series of split-second decisions made by members of the public who unknowingly handled the bomb. This is a case filled with chilling near-misses, human instinct, and moments that, in hindsight, could have made the outcome even more devastating.We also explore the aftermath of the explosion, the subsequent attacks in Spitalfields and Soho, the severity of the injuries - including the deaths of Andrea Dykes, John Light and Nik Moore - and the emotional accounts from those caught in the blast. Alongside this, we examine the early stages of the investigation, including the challenges faced by the Metropolitan Police, the role of CCTV footage, and the growing realisation that this was part of something far more calculated. This is a story about timing, chance, extreme political views, and the terrifying reality of how an ordinary day can be shattered in seconds, marking the beginning of a campaign designed to spread fear and division across the capital.Exclusive content:Patreon - Ad Free, Early Access, Exclusive EpisodesFollow the show:British Murders with Stuart BluesDisclaimer:The case discussed in this podcast episode is real and represents the worst day in many people's lives.

Jake Farrell - one half of the Screen Rot Podcast - joins the award-winning cricket journalist Cameron Ponsonby to talk Surrey Cricket, his podcast, and his sudden rise to fame. Jake highlights how important the Kia Oval is as a social venue for the younger generation of South London, and how the 2005 Ashes inspired his love for the game. This interview was recorded at the Kia Oval during the tea interval on Day 1 of the Rothesay County Championship fixture between Surrey and Essex, on Friday 24th April 2026.

When it comes to talking about food, we often to choose to look at what people are eating rather than how. And it's this distinction that today's guest, Amber Husain, explores more fully in her new book, Tell Me How You Eat: Food, Power and the Will to Live. Amber is a writer based in South London, UK. In addition to Tell Me How You Eat, she has also written Meat Love and Replace Me. Her essays on politics, literature, and art have been published in Granta, The New York Times, Baffler, and more. She has a PhD from UCL in the history of art and mind-body medicine in the late 20th-century Britain. She teaches history of art, creative writing, and criticism.  In today's conversation, Amber explores some of the ways that appetites can be re-examined, and challenge persistent tropes of eating that narrow down to individual choices. Using socialist and feminist lenses, she speaks to food movements and moments in history that have revealed reasons to eat and live, and the empowerment that comes from using food as a question rather than an answer.

Tyrone of Wright Brothers Entertainment on Faith, Storytelling, and Building Legacy Through TheatreHost Savia Rocks welcomes writer-director and Wright Brothers Entertainment co-founder Tyrone to season seven of the Us People Podcast to discuss legacy, identity, trauma, and creativity. Tyrone shares growing up in South London, developing a vivid imagination, and how his Christian faith grounds him through creative highs and lows while he aims to spread love through storytelling. He explains how a probation-required course at 16 led him into performing arts at Merton College, later reconnecting with theatre through a youth drama group. Tyrone describes his writing approach as creating shows he would want to watch, his casting process based on character profiles and auditions, and how judgment and peer pressure shaped his early choices. He reflects on success as lasting impact beyond money, happiness as presence rather than goals, language's power, advice about “power in the pen,” and promotes Wright Brothers' “Bridesmaid, Never the Bride” (14–16 May at Theatre Peckham).00:00 Legacy Mindset Intro01:10 Meet Tyrone 02:52 Growing Up South London04:11 Faith Identity Mirror08:39 Finding Theater Path09:25 From Trouble To Performing Arts14:13 Writing Shows Youd Watch17:54 Casting The Right Talent20:32 Life Without Judgment23:37 Soundtrack Of His Life25:35 Music Influences26:35 Integrity And Keeping Promises29:04 Gifts And Purpose Quote30:48 Desert Island Dream Guests32:24 Defining Success And Legacy35:49 Rethinking Happiness38:10 Power Of Language40:05 Best Advice For Creatives42:14 Peace As A Journey43:25 Where To Find Tyrone45:05 Podcast Outro And Final Trackwww.wrightbrosents.com@onetakety_ - insta@onetakety - tiktokThank you so much Tyrone for showing us that not matter the path that we began on it does not determine our future. - Savia Rocks Life is about the choices that we choose to make for ourselves - Savia Rocks Support the show

Hi all, I've been allocating most of my hobby time to painting over the last couple of months and its the Podcast which has taken a bit of a back seat, but with the upcoming Salute Wargames Show in that there London (which I have been busy painting figures for) only a couple of weeks away, I thought it would be a good idea to have a quick catch up with Martin and Phil from The South London Warlords to have a chin wag about the show. In the hour of the show we catch up on everything that's new, everything that's the same and all the stuff in between.  I will be at the show waving my banner for Big Old School Historical Wargaming, as you would expect, there will also be lots of other people waving their banners for their areas of the hobby, which is wonderful to see. I can guarantee that none of those banners will be as big as the ones on the front of a certain wargames magazine ! Now the Analogue Hobbies Winter Paint Challenge is over I hope to have a bit more time to put some more episodes together, so if I don't see you at Salute hopefully you can tune into the next episode of the Podcast. Until next time, Sithee Regards Ken The Yarkshire Gamer

In Part 2 of Seven Deadly Sinners, we follow Aravindan Balakrishnan, once known to his followers as “Comrade Bala,” as decades of control finally begin to unravel.After years of secrecy inside a South London commune, the walls begin to close in. Survivors step forward, authorities take notice, and the carefully constructed mythology— complete with fear tactics like “Jackie”— starts to crumble under scrutiny. What was once dismissed as radical politics is exposed for what it truly was: sustained psychological abuse, coercion, and modern-day slavery.This episode traces the investigation, the bravery of those who escaped, and the courtroom reckoning that followed. As the truth comes to light, we examine how the authorities built their case—and how a man who claimed absolute power was ultimately stripped of it.From arrest to conviction, Part 2 reveals the long-overdue collapse of a decades-long nightmare—and the fight for justice that brought it to an end.

Content WarningThis episode contains discussions of domestic abuse, poisoning, and death. Support resources are listed at the end of these notes.This EpisodeSeason 39: The Balham Mystery. April 1876—a successful barrister collapses in his bedroom after drinking from a bedside water jug. For three agonizing days, doctors begged him to name his poisoner. He never would. This is the story of Charles Bravo, and the Victorian murder that has never been solved.Behind the elegant facade of The Priory, a villa in Balham, South London, lay a tangle of secrets: a wealthy widow's scandalous past, a controlling husband who knew everything, and a companion with everything to lose.The VictimCharles Delauney Turner Bravo was thirty years old when he died. A barrister called to the bar, Charles came from a prosperous family of Portuguese Jewish ancestry. He was ambitious, charming, and by all accounts, determined to control every aspect of his household—including his wife's considerable fortune. Charles married Florence Campbell Ricardo in December 1875, knowing full well about her four-year affair with the famous hydropathy physician Dr. James Gully. What should have been a fresh start for Florence became something else entirely: a marriage built on leverage and suspicion.The CrimeOn the evening of April 18, 1876, Charles Bravo dined at The Priory with his wife Florence and her companion, Jane Cannon Cox. He retired to his bedroom around 8:30pm. Shortly after, servants heard a bedroom door crash open. Charles staggered into the hallway, his face contorted in agony, crying out for hot water. Jane Cox reached him first—a detail that would later prove crucial.Charles had been poisoned with antimony, likely administered in his bedside water jug. The dose was massive: 20-40 grains of tartar emetic, ten times the lethal amount. For three days, as doctors fought to save him, Charles was asked repeatedly who had poisoned him. His only answer: "I have told you all I know."The InvestigationCharles Bravo died at 5:20am on April 21, 1876. The first inquest returned an open verdict—insufficient evidence to determine what had happened. But public outrage demanded answers. A second inquest, lasting 23 days and calling over 40 witnesses, became a Victorian sensation.Florence Bravo took the stand and admitted everything: the affair with Gully, a pregnancy, a possible miscarriage. Dr. James Gully, 66 years old and once one of England's most respected physicians, saw his reputation destroyed. Jane Cox, whose position in the household was under threat from Charles's cost-cutting, gave contradictory testimony that convinced no one.The verdict: "Wilful murder by person or persons unknown." Three suspects. No conviction. No justice.Historical ContextThe Bravo case emerged during a period when Victorian marriage laws trapped women in impossible situations. Florence had inherited £40,000 (approximately £5 million today) from her first husband, an alcoholic who died at 27. Yet as a married woman, she had limited control over her own life. Divorce required proving both adultery and cruelty—nearly impossible for women of her class.The case also highlighted Victorian England's reputation as a "poisoner's paradise." Antimony was readily available in most households, used to treat horses in stables. The science of toxicology was still developing, and many poisonings went undetected or unprosecuted.Sources (Chicago Notes-Bibliography format):Primary:The National Archives, Coroner's Inquest Records, Bravo Case (1876)Our Sponsors:* Check out BetterHelp: https://www.betterhelp.com* Check out Kensington Publishing: https://www.kensingtonbooks.comSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/foulplay/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
