  • E59 Does Anyone Remember That Cliff Richard Film Set in Birmingham? With Nathan Cassidy and Sam Nicoresti
    Jan 27 2026

    Location: MAC, Birmingham, UK

    Guests: Sam Nicoresti and Nathan Cassidy (and Nathan's dad)


    Ok this is a special Park Date with not one, not two but THREE guests. We recorded a little chat backstage at the Midlands Arts Centre in Birmingham before I hosted the Brum on The Box show where we screened random archive titbits and had a laugh about the crazy telly that was made in Birmingham like Gangsters, Howard's Way, Crossroads, Bullseye, Tiswas, Midlands Today and Pebble Mill at One. Sam Nicoresti starts, Nathan Cassidy comes along and then Nathan's dad joins in too. Sam and Nathan joined onstage for the show and we'll be doing another soon! Watch this space. I also chatted about it on BBC Midlands Today.


    BTW yes I said Shay Given when I meant Shaw Taylor haha. But I left it in!


    Bostin'


    Oh and the Cliff Richard film is called Take Me High.


    As always GRAZIE to Lucia Scazzocchio, Luke Jones (do listen to his brilliant podcast https://southgirlproductionmusic.com/category/podcast-production/), Rosie Wilby (https://www.instagram.com/breakupmonologues/?hl=en) and Mae-Li Evans for encouragement, production support and advice. There would be no podcast without these people. THANKS GUYS.

    Park Date is about mixing the silly with the serious so do listen out for the original comedy we're slotting in between and after the interviews (which are hopefully pretty funny themselves).


    Do review, subscribe and like. Namecheck as many trees as possible in your reviews and make them as surreal as possible - I have a very nice prize to give out to the writer of the funniest review.

  • 2025 Christmas Special With David Baldwin!
    Dec 25 2025

    HAPPY HOLIDAYS!


    Location: Birmingham, UK

    Guest: David Baldwin


    It's Christmas 2025!


    It's me and David Baldwin's annual Christmas catch-up. But what's this? Is David buying drugs? And why is there so much traffic as we try to get to the park next to the Mac arts centre? And where are we going to park? Ho ho ho homeless men ask us for money, Balders comes good with the driving and we chat about we've been up to! Merry Christmas! PS this was definitely NOT recorded in November before the gig with Sam Nicoresti and Nathan Cassidy as part of Square Eyes TV Festival. Oh no no no it's definitely Christmas Day. Enjoy!!!! Love from all of us in 2025 and glad tidings for 26! Cx

  • E57 Is Cat Soup Made of Cats? With Sophie Sconcia
    Nov 18 2025

    Location: By some bins, behind the Melia Hotel (there were a few trees around), Gt Portland St, London, UK

    Guest: Sophie Sconcia


    I took Sophie for a quickie by some bins behind a hotel. It's a little podcast but a funny one! Sophie is amazing and it's no surprise she won the audience vote at the West End New Act Competition a few hours after we did this episode. Check out her Cat Soup night in Chesham :)

I listen to audiobooks and podcasts whilst commuting and traveling in general and this is high on my list as one of my fav new podcasts.

Each new episode takes you on a descriptive entertaining, informative and very funny journey.

Could easily see this as a Anthony Bourdain style show on Netflix.

Chris keeps the interviews relaxed and light whilst moving at good pace. Would definitely recommend. Enjoy!
