I’ve recently been thoroughly enjoying Lloyd Davis’Podwalks round London.
I’m curious to know how much sense it makes to those who can’t visualise where he is, but if you can, it’s compelling listening, especially being able to hear the little beep signalling another photo for Flickr.
Some favourite excerpts from the last one (round South Ken):
“… there, damn, I’ve now insulted catholics, Americans and fans of Princess Di …”
(while taking photos of Harrods’ mannekins)
“… I won’t take a shot of her because she’s got her skirt up round her ears … and she’s got no knickers on …”
… and of course the theme tune. Thanks Lloyd!
[Update: I’m conscious I might be making it all sound much more jingoistic etc than it is. Listen to it – it’s charming, and in terms of adding texture to London, about as honest as you get]
Piers, I can’t tell you how tickled pink I am to find that you’re one of my listeners, let alone someone who enjoys what I’m doing. Thanks for the plug (I don’t read it as implying jingoism – and folks, jingopod is not at all what I’m trying to do – but then perhaps I would say that, wouldn’t I?)
I intend to do another one tomorrow, though it might need to have an interior setting if the wind keeps up as it is this morning (that’s the north-easterly that keeps banging my garden gate, not the result of too many nachos last night).
Pleasure, and look forward to the next one(s) – but think it’s a good call to steer clear of nachopodding. Little bit Derek and Clive.
