Maybe it's because I'm a Londoner (LIVE)

Description
The Rough Guide to Everywhere podcast is back! Today we are delighted to launch Series Two of the Rough Guide to Everywhere, with this special recording taken in front of a live audience at the London Podcast Festival on Thursday 14th September 2017. In previous episodes of the podcast we have travelled all around the world, from Patagonia to the Ukraine, via North Dakota and the Scottish Highlands. But in this live episode, recorded in Kings Cross, it felt fitting to focus our conversation on London town. Host Greg Dickinson sits down with three born n' bred Londoners: TimeOut London's news and events editor Sonya Barber, spoken-word poet Jeremiah "Sugar J" Brown, and the Pearly Queen of St Pancras herself. In the discussion we hear their thoughts on community spirit, the impacts of gentrification, and what they consider to be "quintessentially London" (pie 'n mash, the Thames, and escalators...). Subscribe to the podcast now to make sure you don't miss an episode. In future instalments we will travel to North Korea, discover a forgotten civilization in the Bolivian Amazon, and witness the silence of Antarctica.
