In this lively, meandering episode, I welcome Cornish photographer and fellow broadcaster Shelley Tasker for a freewheeling chat that spans Cornwall folklore (piskies, knockers, and coastal monsters), local identity, and why Cornish ice cream tastes better at the source. We share tales of tech gremlins, studio plants with personalities, and the joys and woes of British weather, buses, and old-school cars. The conversation turns heartfelt and fiery as we discuss censorship, free speech, NHS culture, natural health, education and childhood, and the impact of identity politics on families and community life. We also dive into localism: defending high streets against parking charges, supporting farmers, hemp’s many uses, and why small, human-scale solutions often beat grand government schemes. Expect humour, a few naughty asides, and plenty of listener shout-outs in the chat, plus a cameo from Paul English as we look ahead to Food for Thought Radio and champion connecting directly with local producers. From boyhood memories and Cornish roots to DIY resilience (solar chargers, crossbows, and bicycles in bus lanes), it’s an unapologetically eclectic tour of culture, community and common sense. If you like spirited pub-chat energy mixed with folklore and a dash of anarchy, this one’s for you.
