    Guest: Dec Munro


    Please welcome Mr Comedy - Dec Munro - to the podcast.


    Some of you might know I scratched my itch to do stand up comedy last year and it would not have been possible without the kindness and enthusiasm of this guy. He really did give me the confidence to get on stage that I'd been craving for years and is, like my mum(!), a brilliant teacher.


    Dec has taught and advised so many people how to do comedy better and not just idiotic wannabes like me but actual famous comics too - directing shows by Stuart Goldsmith and Lara Ricote to name just a couple. We spoke about his teaching and his directing and what makes good live comedy.


    And Dec also gave us a look behind the curtains at the Bill Murray pub - the ground zero of the London comedy scene which has witnessed performances from anyone who's anyone... and me. He told us about how he and his friends at Angel Comedy together opened this amazing venue.


    Dec was very sweet in this podcast - asking me questions and even saying that he's had requests to do something like this before but felt like Park Date was the right podcast to spill the tea on. So thanks for talking Dec and see you soon.


    Find out more about Dec here and if you're a comedian in need of a director or a person who wants to learnt he dark arts of stand up, I urge you to get in touch. He didn't pay me to say that - but Dec I'll forward my bank details if you want to.

  • Location: Kings Heath Park

    Birmingham, UK

    Guest: Andy Howlett


    It's time for another new episode of Park Date


    Please welcome Andy Howlett. Now this is something a little different... we recorded this chat for my When Harry Met Telly podcast series about the infamous film Telly Salavas Looks At Birmingham. We'll still do something with that... but I thought in the meantime you might like to hear the full chat between Me and Andy.


    Well we recorded in a park so I think it counts! It was in Kings Heath Park, south Birmingham - famous as the location of the BBC Gardener's World garden and where I used to smoke ciggies with my girlfriend Anna (hi Anna!) a lot of years ago.


    Andy tells me about his amazing film Paradise Lost, about the brutalist library in Birmingham and the Paradise Circus complex that obsessed me too and features in my novel The Wall in The Head. We talk about films, the city, skating and public space.

    Guest: David Ellis


    It's time for another new episode of Park Date


    Please welcome David Ellis. David and I chatted about what makes a liveable city and how transport clicks together, from biking to trains. We talked before I did a book talk in Leeds, which I always love to do.


    And some uni memories came flooding back - I lived here for 3 years while I was studying.


    Thanks to David for being a great book talk host. And thanks Jack and the brilliant Hyde Park Book Club where I've done two talks now. I will have another book out next year and will be back at HPBC I'm sure :)

  • Location: Cannon Hill Park

    Bimringham

    Guest: Catherine O'Flynn


    It's time for another new episode of Park Date


    This time, well what can I say? Catherine O'Flynn rightly won the Costa First Novel Award for her exceptional debut What Was Lost. The News Where You Are was even better. Honestly I would love to write a screenplay or a TV version of these books, they are just so, so good and I can imagine them bursting into life on screen.


    So it was an absolute honour to spend an hour with Catherine talking about her work and about Birmingham, and you know what? She is an absolutely lovely as well. Meeting the people whose work you love and then they're also so kind and generous - priceless.


    Catherine, I'm so sorry for keeping you out in the cold for this one in Birmingham's Cannon Hill Park! We chatted before we did a cool event at Mac showing some classic Birmingham TV shows. And of course we talked about these and about Cliff Richard hover crafting under Spaghetti Junction and Telly Savalas's Looks At Birmingham too.


    I'll be back at Mac doing another 'Brum on Screen' in November at Square Eyes TV Festival, this time with another special surprise guest. Keep your eyes peeled for more info soon!

  • Location: St Mary's Church Yard

    Moseley, Birmingham

    Guest: David Baldwin


    MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY


    And Happy holidays wherever you are in the world


    David Baldwin and I experienced something of A Christmas Carol car crash moment when we both found ourselves killed in surreal circumstances in the run up to Christmas. TEARS PLEASE. A film projector fell on his head and a bucket of prickly pears fell on mine.


    But it's not all bad because we came back from the dead as two grumpy ghosts of Christmas past. We rose from our slumber in St Mary's Churchyard in Moseley on the eve of Christmas and decided to have a little haunted chat about this and that as we strolled betwixt trees and grave stones on a misty and frosty December night.


    We reflected on Telly Savalas's incredible true life ghost story Then we went for a curry at Kebabish.


    Enjoy the holidays and cuddle your loved ones. Hope you all had a great 2023. Park Date was very touched to be nominated twice for Best Comedy and Best Books podcast in the UK Independent Podcast Awards this year.


    We'll be back with more cracking episodes in the New Year. Peace x

  • Location: Tashkent, Uzbekistan


    Guests: Nicola Chilton, Maik Novotny and many more


    It's time for another new episode of Park Date


    Ok I thought I'd try something different and record some on the hoof meanderings while I criss-crossed the Uzbek capital of Tashkent with some fellow fans of Soviet modern architecture and design. Then we head out of town to see the weirdest thing I've possibly ever seen - a USSR science project helmed by a 20 storey high sunscope on a mountainside in the desert. A bit fell off and nearly killed me. What a trip.

    Guest: Raziq Rauf (and his son!)


    It's time for another new episode of Park Date


    Please welcome my friend and brilliant music journalist and now running writer Mr Raziq Rauf (and his son Alexander!)


    We messed about outside Beverly Hills Police HQ recreating shots from Beverly Hills Cop then hung out in Beverly Hills Park to talk about Raz's mission to save the butterflies of LA and stalking Ben Affleck on the TMZ tour. Alex lost some colouring pencils along the way - can you look out for them, thanks.


    Cheers to the Beverly Hilton for their help on this one. They were filming Minx in the pool when I was there - you should go and watch it. Hoping to have Ophelia on the podcast one day :)

    It's time for another new episode of Park Date


    Please welcome Marvin Mangalino. Marvin reminded me of 90s cartoon hero Rude Dog from Rude Dog And The Dweebs. He's a cool dude who runs a bike clothing brand called BBUC and opened one of Vienna's coolest hotels which is crammed with retro stylings and is called Brillantengrund. We went inside to take a look - a first for the show!


    We had a great chat in one of my favourite cities - Vienna!

    Simon is one of the great travel journalists and he took time out of his busy travelling schedule to talk in the park outside the Imperial War Museum in London.

    London

    Guest: Sheena Bhattessa


    It's time for another new episode of Park Date


    Please welcome my friend and a great actress and producer, Sheena Bhattessa. Sheena tells us about Casualty, motherhood, managing and editing a magazine, producing a short film and life in Marylebone.


    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.

    London

    Guest: Ben Gomori


    It's time for another new episode of Park Date


    This time our wonderful guest is Ben Gomori. You can find out all about Ben's DJ dates, remixing and producing and music making, hosting and Pitch-black Playback events on his website https://www.bengomori.com And regarding the last one, you'll notice that I absolutely am incapable of saying it correctly during this episode.


    Ben has just been doing a global launch for Christine & The Queens' new album with PbPb, which is cool. Christine & The Queens have also been curating this year's Meltdown at the Southbank Centre in London. In fact I was at Meltdown last night watching the frankly amazing Warpaint.


    Thanks for your time Ben. Go and see him DJ in Ibiza this summer!

    It's time for some new episodes of Park Date. Hello PEOPLE


    Mark Thomas tells us which park he had his first snog in and then we talk about the history of Streatham Cemetery and other South London parks, plus Mark shares some anecdotes and tells us what he's up to next.

  • Location: Barangaroo Reserve

    Sydney, Australia

    Guest: Timothy Gray


    It's the final episode of Season 3!


    And what better way to go out than with this great dispatch from Sydney. I'm joined by Timothy Gray - poet, radio presenter, musician, guide, cultural ambassador, elder and all around good guy. Tim is a Gumbayngirr/Wiradjuri/Bidjigal man based in Redfern, Sydney.


    We strolled through Barangaroo Reserve on the shores of Sydney Harbour, talking about the history of this poignant place near to where the British first arrived in Australia. We talk about the stories of the area and its transition from docks to park, about art and about natural landscapes, spirits, ghosts, cultures and politics - and the people who've lived longest on this island. Thanks so much for contributing Tim.


    I hope you loved this season. Stay tuned for SEASON FOUR - coming this summer!


    And don't forget to check out my new book City Parks, which is out this week! :)

  • Location: Columbus Park

    New York, NY

    Guest: Alex Proba


    Here's a lovely chat with Alex Proba - noted designer and fascinating creative. We were on the baseball field at Columbus Park in Lower Manhattan with some funky Chinese background music and guys around us playing cards and doing tai chi. Anna Delvey's name might have come up too...

  • Location: Central Park

    New York, NY

    Guest: Rolando Pujol


    Well this one was a joy. The wonderful Rolando Pujol from ABC 7 TV talks to me as we stroll through Central Park in New York City. We chat about the mom n pop shops, diners, drive-thru, dives, malls, motels and mid century design that inspired him to create his Retrologist newsletter and website. Oh and how the media and news landscape has changed!


    Rolando, we gotta make a movie where we drive across America looking at Pizza Huts, Arby's, Arthur Treachers and all the rest, while staying in vintage motels like the Starlight. Are you in?
