Talking with the HippiesAxle and Tom dream of Utopia - Part 3All of life continually searches for comfort. And people are no different. We all have ideas of how we can individually make our own lives more comfortable, and some of us never stop wondering if the human race can one day collectively find a better way to live.
I'll be honest, I'm not sure about that myself, but my doubts don't stop me dreaming.
Hope that you enjoy Part 2, there's one more episode of this mini series recorded which I will put up in a week or two.

I don't really know where to start when it comes to telling you about this place. It has profoundly changed so much about the way I look at life. To me it slightly felt how it felt in the 60s living on the edges of the festival scene. Like when the fence came down at the I o W...2023-06-2033 min

Thelma and Tom Look LeftTTLL41 - Two old Socialists just saying it how it is.Welcome to this episode of Thelma and Tom.
I'm going to be honest here (no really, I am) - for one reason and another, we did no prep for this recording at all. And yes, I was a bit nervous how it would go. And yes, as it turns out I'm pretty pleased with it.
We discuss, among other things, the dire state of education in the UK, the unravelling of Boris Johnson, and portraying yourself as a respectable politician.

Please support Left Media. Now, more than ever, it is important to stay in touch, be it through Podcasts, Videos, Youtube, Twitter, or Facebook. Main stream media rarely, if ever, gives those of us on the Left any opportunity to put our side of the story. Lots of positive stuff is going on.

Mark talks openly about his involvement with the hard drugs scene - a scene that I know very little about. A big thank you for this - clearly not the easiest thing to discuss.
We also talk about what happened to the hippie scene after the 60s - something I really do want to get into discussing in much more depth.

The Labour Party are now virtually indistinguishable from the Tory Party, with even Farage this week, complementing Starmer on his immigration policies. How much worse does it have to get before everyone on the Left finally realises that we have been almost completely squeezed out of mainstream electoral politics by the UK establishment.
The Peoples Alliance of the Left is a serious attempt to help organise the Left into an electoral force.

In this episode we talk about what it is like to bring up a family outside the state education system. I do accept that some people do find the subject of Home Education quite contentious. I want to make clear that I am completely aware that loads of kids are perfectly ok within the school system, and so are their parents, and that is just fine.
During this session it became obvious that there was a lot more on this subject that we could talk about...2022-11-2439 minTalking with the HippiesThe Hippies were Definitely Right - Part OneIn this episode of Talking with the Hippies I take a break from history, and move the focus more on to what is actually happening now.
I chat to Miranda and Simeon. We cover topics like Life, Living in a community, eco housing, sustainable living, and raising a family outside of the State Education System.
I spent a lovely few hours in the permaculture community that they live in. I've got to say it - it was right up my street! And thank you for such a lovely lunch.

We do touch on the festivals, and they are definitely events that I do want to go into in much more detail, and my guest definitely did go to those festivals, but it turns out he wasn't really there either, if you get what I mean.
Today in Talking with the Hippies I am chatting with Chris Wilko. Chris is an old hippy, a musician, a poet, a philosopher and a storyteller.

In this episode I chat with Paul Justison. Paul grew up in Tuscon, Arizona and along with 1000s of other hippies in the USA, he moved to Haight Ashbury in 1966.
What can I say about Haight-Ashbury in 1966/67. Some say it's where the scene all started out. Obviously it's not - it was happening all over - but for sure right at that time some amazing things were happening there. We chat about the music, the politics, the scene in general, Viet Nam, the draft, and some of the stuff that happened next.

We also go over some interesting Operation Julie stuff - just couldn't resist it as we are both already quite deep in to the subject.

I'm on a road trip to the Arts Centre in Aberystwyth to watch a performance of 'Operation Julie - A Rock Musical', followed up by a question and answers session with some of the main characters involved at the time.
It's really is all very interesting stuff, and as you might be realising by now, I'm getting quite involved in the whole adventure (that's code for, I'm pretty certain there's more to come on this subject shortly).

Talking with the HippiesThe Poet from PlymouthIn this episode of Talking with the Hippies, I chat with Chris Voisey, and get to listen to some of his poems. Chris grew up in Plymouth during the 50s/60s and has been writing poetry all of his life. I was lucky to get to look through some of his early journals - all the poems are dated and written in beautiful handwriting. I really struggled with poetry at school and have never been near it since, but I have to say, I really did enjoy listening to Chris's work.

Talking with the HippiesA general introduction to the podcast, with special guest, my good friend Ken.Welcome to episode one of my new podcast.
The vague plan is to build up an audio archive loosely based on the events and culture of the Hippy era - roughly speaking 1965-72, plus maybe some of what happened next. I've got two more episodes in the can, so after that, it kind of depends what happens next - It could be a series of three!
My first guest is my old friend, Mr Ken Phillips. We met in 1970 and since then we have shared a few adventures along the way. I really enjoyed our c...2021-11-161h 00Thelma and Tom Look LeftThelma and Tom look Left - 23If you only ever listen to one episode of TTLL, then make it this one.
Our guest is Maia Thomas, who grew up in the West Country and is the founder member of the Exeter group of Black Lives Matter.
What's to say! Maia is 22 years old. The stories she tells need to be heard, and the clarity and energy that she is putting in to her activism is amazing (I don't really do praise but this is a seriously good listen)

Thelma and Tom Look LeftTalking with the Hippies - TrailerDo you know what, I really enjoyed the late 60s and early 70s. So much positive stuff was happening and for a brief time there, we really felt as if we had the Establishment on the run. They felt it too, and they fought back big time.
In this series of podcasts I am hoping to meet and chat with as many people as I can who were involved in those heady days.
If you have any stories from the hippy era, or if you have any connection to those days, for example, are you...2021-10-3101 minThelma and Tom Look LeftTTLL episode 22 with Alexie SayleGreat to be able to sit down and chat with Thelma and Alexei about all things Left.
We talk about the woeful state of the Labour Party, the AS propaganda campaign, was there an exact point when Jeremy's leadership of the Labour Party began to unravel, and most important of all, we discuss how Solidarity is an absolute essential if the Left is ever to succeed.
We also touch on brown Lada Cars and the Communist Party in the 1970s.

We discuss, Chris Packham, The Premiership, Red Pepper, The Late 60s, The Young Liberals and Revolutionary Socialism at Oxford University, The future of the Left, and much more. And not once did we rubbish the Labour Party (sadly, we ran out of time).

We're a bit late with this podcast I know, but still relevant and well worth a listen. We recorded this about an hour after Starmer's 'most important speech of his life'.

Great to welcome Thelma back, and to meet Philip too. We get in to some very interesting areas around the practicalities of bringing success to Left wing politics, and what we really need to do to make it happen. And we look at the age old question, 'Can we possibly all work together'. Let's just say, it turns out that there are a few red lines.
Thank you to our producer and resident musician, Hurricane Rodriguez. Great job as usual.

It was such a pleasure meeting and talking with John McDonnell, one of the elders of Left wing politics in the UK. So much knowledge, so much perspective, so much honesty and integrity, but beyond all that, such a genuinely nice person.

The PrestigeTHE BREAKFAST CLUB (1985) and Endings (or Not)This week sees the start of our mini-season of high school movies, beginning with the seminal John Hughes film THE BREAKFAST CLUB (1985). After some reviews, we talk about how character depth is important to a film about stereotypes, why detention really doesn’t work, and whether or not being a teenager is ever about having an ending (this makes sense in context, I promise...).
