 A chance conversation at a station, a pop star, an encounter with a teacher's friend, a neighbour, a tinder date.... all led to my thinking that there are amazing stories waiting to be told everywhere.

People think they have an ordinary existance, after all, daily life can be a drudge. But I've realised that ordinary people are like gold mines, sometimes I have to dig to find the treasure. Other times, the treasures spill out casually, a throwaway comment which makes my ears prick up. I've made it my mission to record these treasures before they disappear.

 

I'm now always on the lookout for the unusual. If you know of any stories you'd like recorded or subjects you'd like me to explore, contact me!

Podcast guests
