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.

Episode 3: Things We Believed as Kids, British Heat & Don’t be a jobs worth
This week, we’re diving into all the nonsense we believed as kids—from chewing gum tangling your organs to the ice cream van only playing music when it’s out of lollies 🍦. Turns out, parenting in the ‘60s and ‘80s came with a side of creative storytelling.
Steve’s rant of the week takes aim at British people moaning about the weather—sun’s out and we STILL can’t be happy apparently 🌞🙄. And in “Say It Like Steve,” one listener gets advice on handling a manager who keeps stealing the spotlight at work… spoiler alert: HR gets involved.
Plus, our Cockney Slang Word of the Week returns with a fresh one for your mince pies 👀
