Rupert Mallin, playwright, screenwriter, poet, and performance artist, comes to the table.

Working the Dream

Rupert Mallin has had a long career in the world of small press writing, both as writer and publisher. His sinewy, highly original poems have been featured in many magazines. 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.
