Bex sends Adam back to the 15th century as he visits the Loxwood Joust, an entire medieval fantasy kingdom hidden away in an ancient woodland at Loxwood, right on the West Sussex and Surrey border. You park your car in the 21st century, walk through a marquee, and come out somewhere completely different! Adam meets founder Morris Bacon, who runs the event with his son Danny, to hear how a small family medieval festival grew over 14 years into one of the biggest events of its kind in the UK, with an artistic director, actors as well as reenactors, and proper storylines you can join in with. Along the way there are witches, a talking wall, a working replica of the rack from the Tower of London, blacksmiths and scribes to have a go with, archery, axe throwing, a jester, puppets, and a band all the way from Spain called Trobar de Morte. Adam also watches the Meat Grinder, where around forty fighters in full armour charge at each other with swords and axes! The Loxwood Joust runs across the first three weekends of August.Join Fun Kids Podcasts+: https://funkidslive.com/plusSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On this day, 31 July 1945, the newly elected Labour government sent 600 conscript troops into the Surrey docks in London to try to break a go-slow of dockworkers fighting for better pay. A Telegraph journalist described the go-slow: "In everything they did the men were unhurried in a way that looked deliberate. There was evidence that their actions were planned. True, the cranes were working and goods were passing from the dockside to the ship, but there was a leisureliness about the proceedings that made everything seem half-hearted. I soon learned the reason. At the moment bags of sugar were going aboard in slings. But it was pointed out that the slings were carrying only 4 at a time instead of the normal 12." More information, sources and map: https://stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/10374/labour-government-sends-troops-to-break-dockers-go-slow Pictured: Troops working as scabs on the docksOur work is only possible because of support from you, our listeners on patreon.

It's our April Fools' Episode, in which we explain how it is we know that things purported to have existed in the Middle Ages did not actually exist! It's late, for April Fools' Day, by any known calendar, since it's the end of June, and also the Bisley Boy, who did not exist, did his not existing after the Middle Ages, thereby qualifying this episode as a Special Episode. Anne explains the stupidity of the Bisley Boy Theory, which is, in short, that Queen Elizabeth I died at the age of 9 and got replaced by a little boy from Bisley, and Michelle, who found herself at the bottom of a rabbit hole consisting of Bram Stoker's book Famous Imposters, from 1910, in which Bram Stoker reveals WAY more of his concerns about gender identity than he probably meant to, and gives Anne even more reason to dislike Stoker, has a great deal of enjoyment and gets to explain to us the  Chevalier d'Eon, who confuses Stoker even more than Queen Elizabeth.  

James Riordan (1936–2012) fue un escritor británico, historiador del deporte y especialista en estudios rusos. Fue muy reconocido por su trabajo académico sobre el deporte en la Unión Soviética y por sus libros infantiles. Fue autor del libro Sport in Soviet Society, considerado el primer estudio académico serio sobre el deporte en la URSS. Fue jefe del Departamento de Lengua Rusa en la Universidad de Surrey. Afirmó haber sido el primer británico en jugar fútbol profesional en la Unión Soviética, con el equipo FC Spartak de Moscú en 1963. Sin embargo, esta afirmación ha sido cuestionada debido a la falta de pruebas documentales. Escribió varias novelas infantiles, entre ellas Sweet Clarinet y The Sniper (El francotirador), esta última basada en entrevistas con la francotiradora soviética Tania Chernova.

Mark Church and Cameron Steel bring you Oval and Out - your bitesize look at the action as Surrey Men were back in One Day Cup action, as Surrey won at Guildford for the first time since 2021.

Ten years on, jD sits down with three fans who were there the night the Tragically Hip played Vancouver on the Man Machine Poem tour — the second stop of Gord Downie's final run across Canada. Tina, Joe, and Shaun walk through the whole arc of that evening: the scramble for tickets when floor seats and Ticketmaster luck meant everything, the electric-but-apprehensive mood in the building as everyone wondered how Gord would hold up, and the moment his shaking hand during "Three Pistols" turned nerves into relief.The conversation ranges from the emotional gut-punches — "Grace, Too," "Bobcaygeon," "Tired as Fuck," and "At Transformation" — to the craft behind the show: the band huddling close around Gord like a bar band again, the retrospective set lists that pulled from nearly half their catalog, and the stripped-down staging that only fully landed watching the final concert on TV. Along the way there's talk of secondary-market ticket gouging and dynamic pricing, the pride of a country coming together over a rock band, and how each of them found their way home that night carrying a feeling Tina sums up perfectly: "How can you feel so empty and so full at the same time?"Next episode: July 26 — Vancouver Night 2, with a new panel.Tina from VancouverA devoted Hip fan (by her own admission the bigger fan in her household) who scored floor seats, row 26, through Ticketmaster while nearly everyone she knew was shut out. "Grace, Too" was the song that hit her hardest that night. By day she works for a Canadian pet-treat company.Only One Treats — Canadian-made pet treats with a single ingredient. Find them on Facebook, Instagram, and other socials, and in local pet food stores.Joe from VancouverA lifelong musician (playing in bands since he was 15) and an entertainment-lighting professional — a rental account manager for a major North American lighting company. He got into Vancouver Night 1 on a spare ticket from his cousin's daughter, sat on Rob's side of the arena, and has played Rob Baker in a Hip tribute, which shaped how closely he watched the band that night.

He got a ticket on the first crack through Ticketmaster and watched from the rafters, just happy to be in the building. "Three Pistols" is forever linked for him to the image of Gord's shaking hand.

"my friend and rival, Mr. Barker" [RETI]      We occasionally get suggestions for topics, and this is one of those cases. Kai Johansen wondered "who was Barker?" — as in "Barker, my hated rival on the Surrey shore," in "The Retired Colourman."   It led us to a  short article in The Baker Street Journal by William Schweickert (Vol. 43 No. 2) that takes us through Mercer, Shinwell Johnson, and Langdale Pike and then proposes that Barker held a particularly important role.

Send us Fan MailThe Peter B's, Fleetwood Mac and the Cobham Apparition explores one of Britain's most unusual ghost stories. In November 1965, four young musicians—including future Fleetwood Mac founders Peter Green and Mick Fleetwood—reported seeing a mysterious figure beside the A3 near Cobham, Surrey, while driving home from a rhythm-and-blues gig. Drawing on contemporary witness statements, Dr A. R. G. Owen's scientific investigation, newspaper reports, and the history of Cobham's ghost traditions, this podcast separates documented evidence from later folklore.  The podcast is lo-fi, recorded in one take wanders off the point and there are continuing microphone problems.

West End performer. Wicked film cast member. House renovation survivor. And our kind of person.This week Cara and Bronagh are joined by the brilliant Courtney Mae Briggs — West End actress, content creator, mum to two year old Minnie, and the woman who played the mum in the Wicked film alongside Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo. Yes, really. And somehow we nearly got through the whole episode without anyone realising quite how major that is.Courtney tells us about growing up in Surrey, training at drama college and going straight into work — including the original London cast of Hamilton, Back to the Future the Musical, In the Heights and Strictly Ballroom. She opens up about what it's actually like doing eight shows a week in the West End, the adrenaline of coming offstage at half ten in Covent Garden and immediately going out, and the surreal experience of filming Wicked — singing live on set, doing the whole duet sequence in one Steadicam take, and her costume ripping between takes while sixty crew members stood watching. Oh, and she once farted on stage during Hamilton and the skirt wafted it directly into the audience. 1200 people. She's fine about it now.House renovations, the chaos of coming home from hospital with a newborn to a building site, why Courtney is completely unbothered about people scuffing her nice kitchen, and the old school video camera she uses to document family life that had everyone reaching for their phones to order one.Courtney's route from Surrey to drama college to the original London cast of HamiltonWhat it's really like performing eight shows a week — the fitness, the injuries and the adrenalineThe Wicked film — how she got the role, filming live on set and why the costume kept splittingHouse renovations, newborns on building sites and why Cara is still waiting for her showerFive beauty must haves — Charlotte Tilbury Flawless Filter, Biodance collagen masks, Sunday Riley Good Genes, Pearl Beauty bronzer and Medicube pore padsThe wardrobe malfunction that shall not be named.

Welcome back to the History of South Africa podcast with me your host, Des Latham. Episode 283 and it's 1885. And boy! Do we have a plethora of happenings to report. This is a year before the discovery of gold in the Transvaal, and global events are full of war, innovation, ethnic carnage, economic ups and downs, world firsts, medicine, and a dose of snot and trauma. The year 1885 opened with a strange and ironic trial by fire across England, balancing state-sanctioned progress against lawless destruction. In January, Irish rebels shattered the peace by detonating dynamite inside Westminster Hall and the Tower of London, raining literal fire and brimstone upon the ancient symbols of British authority. Amidst this chaotic violence, a far more orderly kind of incineration took place. That same year, the widowed painter Jeanette Pickersgill of London, a lady "well known in literary and scientific circles," became the first person to be legally cremated in England by the Cremation Society at Woking, Surrey. It was a classic Victorian paradox: while the state scrambled to suppress the lawless Irish bombs threatening to burn the old order down, it was simultaneously finalizing the bureaucratic regulations on how its most respectable citizens could legally burn themselves to ashes. In Southern Africa, 1885 saw two major geopolitical moves - In March the United Kingdom Established the Bechuanaland Protectorate - modern day Botswana. The second event was the incorporation of the tiny Boer republic of Stellaland into Bechuanaland. It was all part of a grand plan partly initiated by Transvaal president Paul Kruger. He had sailed to London in 1884 and met Secretary of State of the Colonies Lord Derby where the two struck a deal. Derby would drop the British claim to suzerainty over the Transvaal and reduce the Transvaal's debt, and reduce the powers of the British representative in Pretoria, in exchange Kruger agreed to decrease tariffs on imported goods and to drop claims to Stellaland and Goshen, thus opening up Cecil John Rhodes' important North Road. The agreement promised a rare season of peace and stability for the fractured region. Yet, its true survival rested entirely on whether both sides would honor the principles they had so recently espoused. They did not. Or to be more accurate, Pro-Boer and Pro-Imperial activists did not. Transvaal commandos rode into Zululand and into Bechuanaland, cocking a snook at their own leadership. On the British side, all manner of colonials looked askance at the Kruger/Derby Deal. One was missionary and humanitarian, Reverend John Mackenzie, a prominent member of the London Missionary Society. He had spent most of his adult life proselytizing amongst the Tswana people at Kuruman and Shoshong. Mackenzie was the Boer's arch enemy, denouncing incursions from the pulpit in South Africa, then back in the UK when he was on leave in 1882 and 1883. The Road to the North worried him because of how dominant the Transvaal Boers were in this region.As King Leopold of Belgium, the French, Bismarck of Germany and others met to finalise who got what in Africa, the British Foreign Office suddenly woke up. They were concerned about the Transvaal and German South West Africa. The British Government did a volte-farce, and sent a powerful army up the North Road. Four thousand regular troops, including the famous Inniskilling Dragoons cavalry regiment from Ulster in Northern Ireland, along with three observation balloons, all headed towards Stellaland from Kimberley.

The Interview and Investigating Serial Violent Crimes: Canada Police. Behind the Badge: How One Canadian Police Leader Interviewed Serial Child Predators, Murderers, and Faced the Hidden Trauma of Investigating Canada's Most Horrific Crimes.  The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast social media like their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. Every day, millions of people consume true crime stories on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, streaming television, and major News websites. Podcasts dominate the charts on Apple Podcasts and Spotify, while documentaries about serial killers and violent offenders attract enormous audiences around the world. The Podcast is available for free on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, iHeartradio and most major podcast platforms. #LawEnforcementTalk #Free #Podcast #Radio People are fascinated by criminal investigations. Supporting articles about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin. They want to know how detectives solve impossible cases. They want to understand what motivates serial offenders. They wonder what it feels like to sit across the table from someone capable of unimaginable violence. What most people never consider is the person asking the questions. The investigator. The police officer. The detective whose job requires entering the darkest corners of humanity, not once, but repeatedly over an entire career. The Interview and Investigating Serial Violent Crimes: Canada Police. The episode is available across major platforms including their website, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, with highlights shared across their Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn profiles. For retired Canadian police executive Jenn Hyland, that wasn't entertainment. It was her life. In this compelling Podcast Audio Interview, Hyland takes listeners behind the interrogation room door to reveal the emotional, psychological, and professional realities of investigating serial violent criminals, interviewing child predators, and leading major criminal investigations throughout Canada. Her remarkable policing career spans three major law enforcement organizations and some of the country's most difficult criminal investigations. Along the way she learned that solving crimes is only part of the story. Available for free on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Youtube and most major Podcast networks. Living with what investigators witness is often the greater challenge. A Career Built on Service Jenn Hyland began her policing career with the New Westminster Police Department in British Columbia. New Westminster is one of the oldest cities in western Canada and once served as the largest community on British Columbia's mainland before Vancouver experienced explosive growth. Like many young officers, she started learning the fundamentals of policing. Every call was different. Domestic disputes. Traffic collisions. Mental health emergencies. Violent assaults. Missing children. Deaths. Every shift brought uncertainty. Those early experiences laid the groundwork for a career that would eventually place her among Canada's most respected investigative leaders. The Podcast is available for free on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, iHeartradio and most major podcast platforms. Joining the Royal Canadian Mounted Police Hyland later joined the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), one of the world's most recognizable law enforcement organizations. Known internationally as the Mounties, the RCMP provides federal policing throughout Canada while also serving many provinces, municipalities, Indigenous communities, airports, and specialized investigative units. The Interview and Investigating Serial Violent Crimes: Canada Police. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast continues bringing listeners real conversations from the front lines of crime, policing, trauma, survival, and healing. The organization handles responsibilities that extend far beyond traditional policing. Its officers investigate organized crime, terrorism, border security, financial crime, cybercrime, international investigations, and violent criminal offenses spanning multiple jurisdictions. Working within the RCMP exposed Hyland to increasingly complex criminal investigations. She developed specialized interviewing skills that eventually made her one of Canada's leading investigators in serious violent crime. The Art of the Interview Television often portrays police interviews as dramatic confrontations where detectives yell at suspects until they confess. Reality couldn't be more different. Professional interviewers spend countless hours preparing before a suspect ever enters the room. They study evidence. Analyze timelines. Review witness statements. Understand behavioral patterns. Develop strategies. Prepare follow-up questions. Plan for deception. Every interview begins long before the recorder is turned on. Success often depends on patience rather than intimidation. Listening rather than talking. Understanding psychology instead of relying on pressure. Hyland explains that every interview is unique because every person brings a different personality, background, motivation, and emotional state into the room. Listen to this powerful episode of the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast, available on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, LinkedIn, and all most major podcast platforms. The investigator's job is to discover the truth, not simply obtain a confession. Hunting a Serial Child Predator One investigation would remain unforgettable. A serial child rapist. The offender had preyed upon dozens of children over an extended period. Cases involving crimes against children are among the most emotionally devastating assignments in law enforcement. Every interview with a victim carries enormous responsibility. Investigators must obtain critical evidence while minimizing additional trauma to survivors. At the same time, they must prepare for the eventual interview with the offender. For Hyland and her investigative team, that meant understanding the offender's behaviors, identifying patterns, corroborating evidence, and patiently assembling a case capable of surviving intense courtroom scrutiny. The Interview and Investigating Serial Violent Crimes: Canada Police. The episode is available across major platforms including their website, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, with highlights shared across their Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn profiles. The work demanded extraordinary attention to detail. One overlooked fact could jeopardize justice for every victim. One successful interview could help provide answers for dozens of families. Looking Evil in the Eye Investigators rarely describe suspects as monsters. That may surprise many people. Professional investigators know the danger of allowing emotion to interfere with objectivity. Instead, they focus on facts. Evidence. Behavior. Statements. Contradictions. Even when interviewing someone responsible for horrific crimes, investigators must remain composed. Their professionalism often becomes their greatest investigative tool. Hyland explains that understanding criminal behavior does not mean sympathizing with criminals. It means learning how they think in order to expose deception and uncover the truth. The Investigation That Hit Closest to Home Perhaps no investigation challenged Hyland more than interviewing a mother accused of murdering her own child. Available for free on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Youtube and most major Podcast networks. By that point in her life, Hyland was raising children herself. The emotional weight became impossible to ignore. Police officers are trained to remain objective. But they are also parents. Spouses. Children. Neighbors. Human beings. Walking into an interview room knowing the victim was a child while looking across the table at the child's own mother creates emotional conflicts few careers ever demand. The Podcast is available for free on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, iHeartradio and most major podcast platforms. Still, investigators cannot allow personal emotion to influence the facts. Justice depends upon objectivity. That balance becomes one of the greatest challenges investigators face. Trauma Doesn't End When the Shift Ends One of the recurring themes throughout Hyland's career is the accumulation of Trauma. Television rarely shows investigators driving home after interviewing grieving parents. It rarely shows detectives lying awake replaying crime scene photographs. It doesn't show birthdays interrupted by homicide calls. Family dinners cut short. Vacations canceled. Sleep disrupted. The emotional toll builds slowly. Many investigators continue performing at exceptionally high levels while privately carrying years of accumulated trauma. By retirement, many discover those experiences never truly disappeared. Building a New Police Service Following her distinguished RCMP career, Hyland accepted another historic challenge. She became part of the leadership team helping establish the Surrey Police Service, a milestone in Canadian policing. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast continues bringing listeners real conversations from the front lines of crime, policing, trauma, survival, and healing. For decades, Surrey relied upon the RCMP for municipal policing. As one of Canada's fastest-growing cities, Surrey eventually made the decision to establish its own municipal police department. The Interview and Investigating Serial Violent Crimes: Canada Police. Creating an entirely new police organization required vision, planning, recruitment, training, community engagement, and extraordinary leadership. It represented one of the most significant policing transitions in modern Canadian history. On November 29, 2024, the Surrey Police Service officially assumed responsibility for policing the city. Hyland helped guide that transformation. From Police Leader to Author After retiring, Hyland continued serving others through writing. Her Book, "Tightrope: Balancing Duty with Courage and Conviction," explores the difficult decisions leaders face throughout policing and public service. The title reflects the constant balancing act required of police leaders. Compassion versus accountability. Leadership versus friendship. Duty versus family. Conviction versus convenience. The lessons extend far beyond law enforcement and resonate with anyone responsible for leading others during difficult times. Why This Podcast Interview Matters Today's true crime audience often focuses on criminals.

Full disclosure, this episode isn't exactly “cheap” but it was necessary. Paul is having a bit of a tough time at the moment, and wanted to do something where he could let off some steam and have some genuine fun… So, on his own dime, Paul has paid for him and Eli to have a day out at one of the UK's best known theme parks, Thorpe Park in Surrey. It's been a long time since either of the Cheap Chaps had visited Thorpe Park, so now is a good time to check out the big, scary rides that exist past the turnstiles! They've only got a little over 5 hours, so they'll cram in as much as they can. Paul can't get enough of the most intense, thrilling rides at the park, but Eli may be a little more reluctant to be thrown about. This week, allow us to “have a bit of fun” as Paul and Eli tackle long queues, junk food, an overwhelming number of “young people”, and experience some of the most intense rollercoasters the UK has to offer. Whether you like it or not, you'll hear every scream, cheer and roar of the rides this week on a temporarily “not cheap” episode of CheapShow.
