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 6 – Phobias, Fiddles & Bubble Baths: What Scares Ya?
This week on Cockney & Son, we’re talking fears — big, small and downright bonkers. From spiders to buttons to running out of tea bags, we’re sharing what gives us the shivers… and yes, Dad admits he’s scared of one thing (hint: it involves the dentist).
In Bit of a Natter, we chat about the weird phobias people have, how fears have changed over the years, and whether it’s best to just get on with it — Dad-style.
Then in Adam & Eve It, it’s a moan about people trying to fiddle the system — from benefit blaggers to fake emotional support animals. Dad’s got a few old-school tales of dodgy excuses too.
This week’s Say It Like Steve tackles a tricky parenting dilemma: what would Dad do if his 12-year-old refused to sleep alone?
Plus, your Cockney Slang Word of the Week (‘Bubble Bath’ = laugh), a chat about surviving the summer heat, and our usual wrap-up of chaos, cold baths, and garden grumbles.
Pop the kettle on (or crack open a G&T) and have a listen — and don’t forget to follow, subscribe, and share your weirdest phobia with us for next week’s show!
