    Episode notes · Positive tone

    Read excerpt

    Wheeling slowly through the park backwards we talk about the unknown of the everyday, connections with crows, understanding pain, and travelling with his father through death. "When he died it was like his spirit went through me, went into every single molecule of my being, and it was like total enlightenment, indescribable, it was like pure love". #otherlivesareavailable #eastlondon #podcast #eds

    Episode notes · Neutral tone

    Read excerpt

    This chat takes in Tolstoy, separating past culture from present , being a Latvian in London, striving to learn more, and becoming a leader. "It's an ambition of everyone who moves from a small town life to a big city life, it's an ambition to always want more and to always want to be better, to be seen. Because if you are not seen, you are drowning". #otherlivesareavailable #podcast #eastlondon #latvia

    112. Jo - swimmer (opens the original)

    Episode notes · Neutral tone

    Read excerpt

    This walk 'n talk with two dogs is about physically powering through until you can't, being lonely in the dark times, finding community, clearing the pipes of a lifetime of stuff, being open to others, and why London is for everyone. "It's so interesting hearing people's stories, and it's actually food for the soul, it doesn't have to be anything major... and if people have the time to talk to you then they're decent people." #otherlivesareavailable #eastlondon #podcast #rescuedog (photo: @akmen

    111. Lindon - boatbuilder (opens the original)

    Episode notes

    Read excerpt

    This chat on a boat is about losing a bit of your toilet, therapy to deal with a move to land, using a hand drill to power a short voyage, handing on a business to your daughter, and living in the public eye. "If I want to go outside I'm there in a towpath thoroughfare, and it gets very busy, and I know a lot of people and everyone says hello as they come by... even if you don't know them, they want to chat about your boat." #otherlivesareavailable #podcast #eastlondon #boatlife

    110. David - sportsman (opens the original)

    Episode notes

    Read excerpt

    This is a chat about getting old, stopping the things you like doing, helping your granddaughter, living with cancer, running till you're 84, and surviving a stroke. "Next thing I remember I was on the floor... but I was lucky I could crawl, if the bathroom door had been shut I wouldn't have got out of there... and I thought 'what's happening?'". #otherlivesareavailable #podcast #eastlondon #85
