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
On mods, rockers and knocker boys
Born-and-bred Brightonian Linda Morley, now 84, has led a fascinating life, hard to do justice to in a single podcast, so this episode we're focusing mostly on her abiding passion – riding motorbikes – and her first-hand account of a mods vs rockers confrontation back in the 1960s. But first, Linda remembers some of the colourful characters she grew up with, in the 1940s and '50s.
