Working the Dream

Lately, he has turned more to the writing of plays and the staging of events. He and Keith have been friends for many years and during this Dialogue they discuss some of the characters they have known.

Tabletop chatter with Brian Cohen, Joan Chevous, and Keith Dersley

In this unrestrained and lively chat, Bermondsey lad Brian Cohen (a compatriot of Tommy Steele, no less), casts his mind back to the days of 'Hair' and camping trips. The chat moves to spiritual matters such as reincarnation. Keith, also a baby boomer, thinks back to a week's holiday with the Boys' Brigade, and the unsuccessful love life of a fellow hospital worker.

Early Imaginings

Informal dinner table talk is often brilliant, especially with the help of beer or wine. Usually, the repartee is launched into the air and forgotten. Our podcast enables listeners to enjoy remarks and observations that would otherwise be lost.
