Talking with the Hippies Axle 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. Please share and so on...

Talking with the Hippies Tipi Valley - Part 1.This is one of the conversations I had when I recently visited Tipi Valley. I'm chatting with Axle who is the guy who first recommended that I visit. We talk about communities, anarchism, politics and so much more. 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...

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.

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. If you enjoy listening to my...

Thelma and Tom Look Left Thelma and Tom talk about PAL.Say it myself, this could be one of the best Thelma and Tom's we've ever done. 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. If you are interested in...

Talking with the Hippies The Hippies were Definitely Right - Part TwoPart Two of my chat with Miranda and Simeon. 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...

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. All the music is c...

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. This episode is a collection of classic 60s memories and let's just say, I t...

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. C...

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. As the recording went on I f...

Thelma and Tom Look Left TTLL27 - Peoples Alliance of the LeftOK, no music, no editing, just uncut Thelma and Tom, plus a guest appearance by Alex Mayes, leader of The Breakthrough Party. We wanted to get this episode out there as quickly as possible. It's good news for all of us on the Left who have been wondering how on earth we are ever going to come together as one. This may well be a big step along the way. In this episode Thelma describes the work that has been done so far, and where we have got to at the moment, and how things...

Thelma and Tom Look Left Thelma and Tom Look Left - episode 25In this episode we talk about Hippies, Tories, Centrists, and Socialists, plus we discuss Thelma's visit to the European Forum. We also ponder on how we wouldn't be allowed to make this podcast in so many countries of the world. It seems astonishing that even this humble little podcast would be deemed 'subversive', and disrespectful to the state, and that is why we must fight. We must preserve the freedoms that we have fought for and gained over the last 150 years or so. Thank you so much for listening. Please like, share and subscribe. Solidarity!

Talking with the Hippies A 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...
