The Brighton Babbler
Picking up on the everyday social and political issues – and historic ones too – that impact on lives across Brighton and Hove, the Babbler aims to generate greater awareness of those issues, at a time when existing news coverage in the city sometimes seems to be in retreat. The podcast name may hint at whimsy, but the intent is unashamedly serious.
The Brighton Babbler
Alastair Hignell: on sport, memory and city life
We catch up with Alastair Hignell, the former England rugby player, county cricketer and BBC commentator. He shares some Brighton-based highlights from his past career, tells us about his current involvement with the Sporting Memories and Walking the Talk groups in the city, and 'ramps up' a new campaign idea for improving accessibility. But first, he explains why he now lives in Brighton, with special mentions for the Amex stadium, Brighton & Hove Albion... and Whitehawk FC.
Alastair was interviewed by James Gardner and the Babbler. Listeners wanting to join the Sporting Memories and Walking the Talk groups in Brighton can email Alastair at alastair.hignell@sky.com.
