    Richard Flohil- The Raconteur

    A walk with 91 year old Richard Flohil is like a walk back in time. Miles Davis tried to buy his car to skip out on a gig. Benny Goodman was “miserable as sin”. Chuck Berry would only play an encore “if you slipped cash under his dressing room door”. And The Chieftains were “a feckless bunch of good time people who drank a lot”. Keep walking, and he’ll tell stories of working with Eric Idle, Alice Cooper, k.d. lang, and Billy Connelly. As a nonagenarian, he is a living repository of music history, and he tells his (often profane) stories with a twinkle in his eye, a delight in mischief, and with little regard to what anyone else thinks.

    The Beachcomber- Martin Gray

    Martin Gray is a lifelong beachcomber on the wild islands of Orkney, off Scotland’s northern coast. Orkney men have been beachcombers for generations; making use of whatever washes ashore. Most of what washes up these days comes from Canada, and to be blunt, it makes an ugly mess. But the sea also brings mystery.  Martin’s lifetime spent among Scotland’s remote islands has lead him to both find and lose far more than he ever could have expected.

    Episode 15: The Columnist- Catherine Ford

What do two veteran journalists talk about when they wash up on the same beach? Tune in to find out.
