Welcome to the Fundraising Everywhere Podcast, today, we've got something a little bit different for you. To celebrate our upcoming recruitment and careers conference coming up on Thursday 20th November, we've decided to hand the mic over to our guest host Rory White in this special series of episodes called 'It Started On The Street'. Rory will be chatting to some brilliant leaders in the charity sector and beyond about their journeys since they started their careers as dialogue fundraisers. "Charlotte Forest began her fundraising career with Push, a well-known agency at the very start of face-to-face fundraising in the UK. After that, she moved to Gift, where she built a long and varied career — starting out as a fundraiser, then stepping up to team leader, and eventually managing multiple regions across the country. This gave her an incredible breadth of experience before she transitioned into the charity sector when Gift closed. Today, she's Director of Income Generation at a hospice in Swindon. In our conversation, Charlotte shares how the resilience and skills she developed on the street shaped her career, and how those lessons continue to influence her work today. It's a really insightful and enjoyable discussion — I think you'll get a lot from it." You can learn more about our upcoming Fundraising Recruitment and Careers Conference happening on Thursday 20th November here If you enjoyed this episode, don't forget to hit follow and enable notifications so you'll get notified to be first to hear of future podcast episodes.

Charlie Austin is back with us this time in person, after his stint down under, where he faced off against legends like Nani and dealt with the perils of Aussie wildlife, from swooping magpies to snakes in the garden. Starting out while working as a builder playing for Poole town he got a move to Swindon where he quickly formed a great partnership with Billy Paynter and isn't upset at all that Billy is known as the king. Meanwhile off the pitch there were naked streaks at Cheltenham & burglary pranks. Quickly climbing up the leagues Austin went from builder to Premier League in the space of 6 years, while along the way he worked under the likes of Harry Redknapp, Sean Dyche & Eddie Howe. At Southampton Austin had great moments playing in Europe including an infamous standoff with Dusan Tadic but most importantly he provided one of the greatest interviews the Premier League has ever seen.

Si on prend les exemples les plus connus de la légende du rock, les Beatles, les Rolling Stones ou encore Queen, on apprend qu'ils ont vécu des débuts très difficiles avec un métier qui ne croit pas en eux, ne leur laissant qu'une misère et la foi en leur musique pour vivre.Et bien si cela a été le cas pour les membres de Supertramp, sachez que nous n'aurions en fait jamais dû en entendre parler, ils n'auraient jamais commis les tubes et les albums que nous connaissons par cœur s'ils n'avaient pas été aidé par un homme totalement désintéressé, ou presque. Et ça, c'est une belle story.Au début des années 50, dans le sud de l'Angleterre, un défilé militaire défile à Swindon, une ville ouvrière de la taille de Liège. A son passage un petit garçon nommé Rick Davies ouvre la porte de sa maison pour les voir passer. Il ne rate jamais une fanfare, il adore ça. Particulièrement le son métallique du tambour, c'est ça qui le fait vibrer. Aussi, à l'occasion d'un anniversaire, un ami de la famille qui est bricoleur lui offre une batterie qu'il a fabriquée lui-même à l'aide de boîtes de biscuit en métal. Ca fait un boucan d'enfer, au grand dam des parents mais le petit adore ça et il se débrouille drôlement bien. En faut-il plus pour qu'il entre à l'académie ? Du tout, Rick est super motivé et il apprend le solfège, la musique, la batterie. A l'âge de douze ans, ça y est : il en possède une vraie. Un véritable événement, ses parents ne sont pas riches avec un père dans la marine marchande et une maman coiffeuse dans un petit salon.A l'âge de 15 ans, Rick découvre le rock'n'roll avec Cliff Richard et les Shadows, c'est le coup de foudre. Il s'est mis entretemps au piano et à l'orgue électrique dont il a appris tout seul à jouer. Une nouvelle fois, admiration de ses parents et de ses amis.Sûr, ce gamin ne mérite pas la vie dure de ses parents, aussi ils l'envoient dans l'enseignement supérieur où Rick rencontre d'autres musiciens avec qui il forme un groupe de rock. Le batteur se nomme Gilbert O'Sullivan. Oui, LE Gilbert O'Sullivan qui sera un jour une superstar mondiale et à qui, il le clamera haut et fort, Rick Davies a tout appris puisqu'au départ il n'est que le batteur du groupe.Mais voilà, son père tombé gravement malade et pour longtemps, Rick doit abandonner les études et son groupe pour travailler : c'est sur lui que pèse désormais la charge de faire rentrer de l'argent à la maison. La soudure à l'usine, ça n'a rien à voir avec la musique : jour après jour, mois après mois, la routine s'installe. Ce n'est plus dans la vie rêvée des Beatles dans A Hard Days Night mais plutôt Le Voyage au bout de l'enfer avec Robert de Niro et Meryl Streep.Qui pourrait croire que ce jeune type qui arrive l'usine le matin, la mine sombre avec dans son sac sa boîte et son thermos va un jour écrire et chanter des chansons que le monde entier reprendra durant des décennies ? Seul un rêveur pourrait y croire.

In this episode Gary Mansfield speaks to SLART (@SLART.ME) SLART — a figurative expressionist and proud outsider artist based in Swindon, UK. He dropped out of his A-level art class after his teacher told him he couldn't draw large scale. It wasn't until his late 30s that he picked up pen and ink again, prompted by a blog post that posed three questions about childhood pastimes. His answers were all “drawing and video games”—he chose drawing.Many life experiences fuel his art, including his adoption, chronic illness, two kidney transplants, the deaths of family members, everyday life, and a fascination with people and their stories — as an observer of others, shaped by chronic shyness and a deep feeling of being an outsider. Now he mainly paints large canvases using oils and acrylics, exploring themes of identity, memory, nostalgia and mortality, but often injects a humorous, self-deprecating element to his work. He writes about his art practice every Saturday on Substack (Substack www.creamofthecropbyslart.com) Upcoming solo show 6-18th September www.memementovivere.art Exhibition Details:MEMENTO VIVERE (Remember to Live) - Art Exhibition by SLARTThe Crypt Gallery, St Pancras Church, Euston Road, London, NW1 2BA7th September – 18th September 2025Free Entry Opening Night Reception: Saturday, 6th September 2025, 6:00 PM – 9:00 PM (Invite only) In partnership with Beata Maria Rzepecka from Gabriel Fine Arts, invites the public to "MEMENTO VIVERE" (Remember to Live) "MEMENTO VIVERE" serves as a poignant reminder to embrace the beauty and fragility of existence. The works reflect a deeply personal journey of introspection while touching upon the universal human condition."People shy away from death," says SLART, whose work often combines memento mori and spiritual themes with pop culture influences. “This exhibition comes from facing my own health struggles and thinking a lot about life and death. But it's not all heavy — it's actually about hope and reflection. It's a reminder to wake up, notice the little things, and really live — with no regrets. Even when life feels messy, there's still beauty and meaning to be found."The exhibition aims to challenge viewers to reflect on their own lives, mortality, and choices, creating an appreciation for the fleeting nature of time. Using raw expression, SLART's art navigates complex emotions, testifying to human resilience and the drive to live fully during our finite lives.

This month, I'm continuing to step aside from the ongoing series of episodes about the HP 97/67 programmable calculators to bring you a timely interview that basically constitutes current news.  I don't often do this, but this news was so exciting to me that I wanted to bring this to all my listeners as soon as possible.  The interviewee is James Nagle and the topic is the sudden and welcome news that James is planning to revive the iconic Compute! magazine under the equally-iconic name Compute's Gazette.  I hope you'll stick around to hear about James' plans and are as excited as I am to find out where this goes. For upcoming shows, we do have one more episode in the series on the HP97 with HP calculator historian Wlodek Mier-Jedrzejowicz (“Vwahdek Meer-Yeng SHAY of itch”).  I will air that episode very soon.

In this episode of Meet the Farmers, Ben Eagle catches up with James and Katie Allen, a dynamic couple whose journey into farming began with conservation grazing and has evolved into something much bigger. Originally featured during the Meet the Farmers on Tour series in 2019, James and Katie return to the podcast with exciting updates from their new 170-acre holding near Swindon.James and Katie have built a thriving, nature-led enterprise focused on native breed cattle and sheep.Recently, their business took a major leap forward with the opening of a new on-farm tannery and classroom, funded by a £254,000 grant. These new facilities are already playing a vital role in their mission to connect farming, sustainability, and education — particularly in the realm of fashion. The Allens now host fashion students and others on the farm, sharing insights into the journey from hide and wool to finished product and their links with farming. We discuss their vision for the future, what the grant has enabled, sustainable leather production, and how they're bridging the gap between agriculture and fashion. Topics covered:Starting out with conservation grazingMoving to the new farm. Building a sustainable tannery and educational spaceJames's Churchill scholarshipEngaging with the fashion industry and design studentsEngaging with the local communityImage credit: James and Katie AllenMeet the Farmers is produced by RuralPod Media, the only specialist rural podcast production agency. Please note that this podcast does not constitute advice.

Gilbert O'Sullivan – The Secret Story Behind a '70s Pop Legend

In this special deep-dive episode, we explore the extraordinary story of Gilbert O'Sullivan, the iconic Irish singer-songwriter who defined an era of melodic, thoughtful 1970s pop. From humble beginnings in Waterford, Ireland, and later Swindon, England, young Raymond O'Sullivan dreamed of creating music that was both emotionally honest and musically timeless. What he achieved went beyond even his wildest dreams.We trace Gilbert's transformation from a quiet, artistic boy into the global pop sensation known for timeless hits like “Alone Again (Naturally),” “Clair,” “Get Down,” and “Nothing Rhymed.” Along the way, he invented a persona all his own—complete with a schoolboy haircut, flat cap, and short pants—that helped him stand out in an industry dominated by glam rock, heavy metal, and psychedelic bands. His look was quirky, but his sound was grounded in elegant piano pop and biting lyricism.He wasn't chasing fads—he was creating his own lane.We'll look at how Gilbert's early influences—from Buddy Holly, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Fats Domino to the British Invasion bands like The Beatles and The Kinks—shaped his unique sound. You'll hear the story behind his breakout moment, how he almost gave up before finding success, and why “Alone Again (Naturally)” became one of the most impactful and controversial pop ballads of the '70s.We also dig into the often-overlooked second chapter of his career: the legal battles, the fight for artistic control, and his ongoing legacy as a fiercely independent songwriter who continues to tour and release new music decades after his biggest hits.Whether you're a lifelong fan, a 70s music aficionado, or just discovering Gilbert O'Sullivan for the first time, this episode is a heartfelt and eye-opening journey through one of pop music's most compelling careers.

The Wombles had a Dream Podcast

In Danny's absence Lee is joined by Jack Downes AKA DonsVlogs. They start by talking about the 1-1 draw away to league leaders Walsall. They discuss how the game played out, who was at fault for the free kick and why did the wall jump out of the way? they discuss the 2-1 defeat to Swindon, how can Wimbledon throw away so many points away in the last 10 mins and from winning positions. Did Jackson get the starting line up all wrong? does Jackson need to take the blame regarding the lack of subs or was he correct to blame the ref? After the break they talk about Matty Stevens and is 21 goals enough? some complaints from the Wimbledon faithful regarding Stevens all round game or is scoring goals all that matters? Should we be building the team around him? or are the fans correct and he needs to do more? Lee then asks the important question, after 3 years in charge if we were to stay in League 2 would that signal the end for Johnny Jackson? They finish by previewing another massive game at home against Harrogate. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

He also explains his Wimbledon FC/AFC Wimbledon history. They talk about the Barrow game and how it felt like a defeat from being 2-0 to drawing 2-2, the frustrations they have with Jacksons tactics, subs and words after but also they discuss the positives. They also speak about the form of our captain, it has dipped but why? is it due to tiredness, is it his age creeping up on him or traveling from Swindon having an impact. They discuss the season renewals that have gone out, no DD option for early bird and prices going up. Is this just the price of being fan owned? or are the club squeezing the most loyal fans to much? are customers paying on the door more important now as they could bring in more money? It does seem we are at a crossroads. They finish the episode previewing the massive games coming up against Walsall and Swindon, they also give some Fletcher Fabrications predictions.

Nights In White Satin - 260 million streams on Spotify - is still the central plank in the set Justin Hayward's touring in October. He talks to us here about the first shows he ever saw and played, the ballroom circuit of the mid-'60s remembered in particularly vivid detail and involving the odd burst of song - “My kind of town, Great Yarmouth is …!”. Along with … … the appeal of “a Moody Blues crowd”. ... “Name Singer seeks guitar player”: the Melody Maker ad that got him into the Marty Wilde band, aged 17. … playing a summer season on the same bill as a water feature – aka the Waltzing Waters. … his early band All Things Bright and their Chuck Berry, Buddy Holly, Coasters setlist. … the “onerous” publishing deal he signed with Lonnie Donegan that siphoned off the profits of Nights In White Satin. … seeing Tommy Cooper at the Bournemouth Pavilion and the Barron Knights at the Locarno in Swindon. … “Terry the Pill” in Eric Burden's office. … toying with the idea of “a rock version of Dvorak”. … the uncertain fate of Nights In White Satin and the plugger who threatened to resign over it. … how Days Of Future Passed was the “Deramic Sound” demo record. … and the highpoint of the Moody Blues story and their Second Coming. Justin Hayward tickets here: https://justinhayward.com/pages/current-tour-dates https://justinhayward.com/Find out more about how to help us to keep the conversation going: https://www.patreon.com/wordinyourear Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

Richie is joined by Jonathan Cook, a fourth-generation farmer. Jon and his family run Dora's Dairy near Swindon, one of the few farms in the UK producing raw, unpasteurised, unhomogenised milk from grass-fed cows raised with kindness. Many of the farm's customers rely on the milk for health reasons—from eczema and asthma to IBS and allergies. Dora's Dairy is committed to ethical, regenerative farming, keeping calves with their mothers and ensuring the animals are cared for with the utmost respect. Jon came on to discuss his gofundme campaign, food security, the recent high-profile farmers protests, why every single one of us needs to educate ourselves on where food comes from, the real cost of it, the climate change agenda and much more. This really is a must listen show.https://www.gofundme.com/f/urgent-help-keep-our-ethical-raw-milk-dairy-runninghttps://www.dorasdairy.co.uk/welcome

Part of the job…If you ask me what kind of vibe I'm going to lay down, it's gonna be a very much just a chill out let's-get-to-know-each-other type of vibe" This week we dive into Series 2 in our rewatch of the BBC Office!

And we make sure to highlight all of the comedy routines, talking cookie jars, and David Brent poetry that go into them. Then we head to the Conference Room for another segment comparing these 2 episodes with the US version of the show—this week it's entitled, ‘I've Forgot Me Snotted Creams”—before closing with an extra-challenging round of listener submitted trivia!  Support our show and become a member of Scott's Tots on Patreon!
