Cockney & Son
Cockney & Son: Two Generations, One London is what happens when I sit down with my straight-talking, old-school Londoner dad to try and make sense of the world we’re living in today.
From parenting and politics to prices and pronouns, nothing’s off-limits — and trust me, nothing gets sugar-coated. We see life through two very different lenses, but it’s all grounded in laughs, honest opinions, and the kind of unfiltered banter only a father and son can get away with.
Whether you remember phone boxes or need subtitles when he starts chatting, this one’s for you.

Our First Attempt at Podcasting
🎙️ Episode 0 – The Tester: Setting Up, Slang Checks & Wedding Dilemmas
Welcome to the very first episode of Cockney & Son: Two Generations, One London. We set up the mics (eventually), hit record, and just went for it — so expect a bit of chaos, a lot of laughs, and plenty of opinions.
In this unscripted tester, we:
- Attempt a jingle (badly)
- Test my dad’s true Cockney credentials with a slang challenge
- Dive into stories of growing up in post-war West London
- Debate the death of community spirit, self-checkouts, and the cost of living in 2025
- Offer (questionable) relationship advice to a listener who’s been engaged for five years with no wedding in sight
- Discover which celebrity my dad would want sliding into his DMs (spoiler: it’s not who you’d expect)
It’s raw, real, and the first time my dad has ever done anything like this — and somehow, he sounds like a pro.
