Ep 15: Where Are We Going?

Bing Crosby once sang “We’re busy going nowhere, Isn’t it just a crime”. 
Thank goodness we now know the answer to congestion and where we're going.  The bumper stickers will help us more than the inflatable dolls.  And, though Robert Moses failed, an 82-year-old hitchhiker continues to confirm the innate kindness of most human beings. 
Enjoy your travels.

Ep 14: All Change

A glimpse of transport perfection and rapid transformations.  The laws of garden sheds, sartorial elegance and bohemian excitement.  We can choose to be a participant, an observer, or simply ignore the theatre of travel around us.  The choice remains ours. 
Enjoy your travels.

Ep 13: Whipped Feta Dip

Making small talk and breaking bread with strangers. It can make both parties much happier.  Reach out, show interest, respect and be kind. The legend, and sound, of carrots and the ejection seat.

Ep 12: The Invisible Bus

Creating invisible transport, the value of local knowledge, seeing the familiar from a new perspective and discovering the unfamiliar. Socrates said "the unexamined life is not worth living", perhaps the unexamined route is not worth taking.

Ep 11: The Journey So Far

The challenges of transparency and the four Yorkshiremen. Car-free roads and the humanity of fellow travellers. Catching a baby and the woman laughing on a train. The final episode before the summer break to observe and meet  listeners.  Look out for the coming meditation recordings.

Ep 10: Good Health

Gaining an unfair advantage on court and balancing on a bus. The strange case of Entrance Proximity Compulsion (EPC). Diamond Michael, Steve Jobs and the isolation challenge.

Ep 9: Different Perspectives

David Hockney's "Bigger and Closer" and the state of 'sonder', in which each of us is at once a hero, a supporting cast member and an extra in overlapping stories.  With Sir Anthony Hopkins, John Steinbeck, the Magna Carta and the birthday problem. The joy and surprises of bus and train travel.

Ep 8: All Change

Starting is easier than stopping.  Agents of change, building trust, mutual respect and civility on the platforms of shared, public transport and transit.  As Churchill once said "Why do we regard history as of the past and forget we are making it?"

Ep 7: The Eyes on the Bus

Safe and secure with strangers, surprising adventures, parking in a bus lane, the joys of the Far North Line (https://www.fofnl.org.uk/) and remember, there are more of us.

Ep 6: Making and Saving Money

The creative ways that people use to make and save money, riding on buses and trains. This episode includes a magic bus, a convent of arthritic nuns, parking in Amsterdam, John LeCarre, Duke Ellington and more.  The opportunities to explore and earn are there to be grasped.
