A Lifetime Of Wisdom
Think of us as a "Podcast On Wheels", a non-profit, trying to end isolation, one conversation at a time.
Around 1.4 million people over 70 in England are chronically lonely. Sometimes, a simple conversation is all it takes to change that. Behind every older person is a lifetime of incredible stories, wisdom, and experiences waiting to be heard.
We’re on a mission to showcase this remarkable generation and give them the voice they deserve, because nobody should ever feel invisible or alone.
A Lifetime Of Wisdom
Everyone Calls My Town Blackpool a Sh*thole... But They’re Wrong
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Not many people speak about Blackpool without judgement.
In this episode of A Lifetime of Wisdom, we take a ride with Parker Words, the poet behind the viral poem “Sh*thole”, a piece that challenged how people see his hometown Blackpool.
This episode is extra special as we visit The Big Food Project, the main charity food bank re-distributor in Blackpool, Fylde, and Wyre.
What happens when a place constantly written off by outsiders is seen through the eyes of someone who truly knows it?
From the struggles and stereotypes to the hidden beauty, community, and stories that make Blackpool what it is, this is an honest conversation about pride, perception, and why places are often far more than people give them credit for.
If you've ever judged a town by its reputation, this one might change your perspective.
