Breaks & Joins Podcast
These chats about repair (our stuff, ourselves and our communities) range from mending textiles to the repair of broken bones, from up-cycling in the pandemic to community conflict in Bangladesh, from home made Punk Clothes to celebrating scars. Growing out of a Community project in Lewisham, South East London the podcasts give more space for longer conversations, and you'll be able to hear Rose Sinclair, textile specialist, Raj Bhari, Peacebuilder, talking with Clare MacDonald, artist and Unitarian Minister, Dr Sylvan Baker, founder of The Verbatim Formula,textile dyer Liz Honeybone from the National Theatre costume department, Theatre Designer Amanda Mascarenhas chatting with Mo Sumah, host of the Mend it with Mo repair cafe, Suzi Warren, founder of Stitch it Dont ditch it, theatre academics Sudip Chakroborthy and Ali Campbell on national identities, and Rachel Ho, ceramicist and creator of the scarred pots.They're interviewed by Sue Mayo, edited by Chuck Blue Lowry, music by Bob Karperhttp://www.suemayo.co.uk/
Breaks & Joins Podcast
Series 7, Episode 5: John Dash
"I volunteer with Cycling Club Hackney (CCH) My, now adult, children grew up riding and racing with the club and I have used a bike for transport all my adult life - and dabbled in a bit of cyclocross veterans racing. My main sport (for 40 years) has been unicycle hockey. During the week I work as a property management adviser for Quakers in Britain, with a background in building and structural engineering. The Quaker testimonies to: Simplicity, Peace, Integrity, Community, Equality & Stewardship are a valuable guide."
On most Saturdays John sets up a drop in cycle repair drop-in, on a street corner near CCH, with many regulars, including children who he has seen through mnay bikes, and others like delivery couriers who are really reliant on their bikes.
