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 13: Quick-Fire Gripes, Tube Strikes & Blunt Truths
This week it’s episode 13 – unlucky for some, but (mostly) not for us! Lew surprises Dad with his very first autumn candle, before diving into a bumper Bit of a Natter featuring questions and gripes from our listeners. From cars clogging pavements and supermarket snackers to £7 hot chocolates and the stress of secondary school choices – nothing’s off the table.
We also tackle the big talking point of the week: tube strikes. Are drivers right to demand less work for more money, or is London being held to ransom? Expect blunt opinions, laughs, and a bit of Cockney common sense.
And in Say It Like Steve, Dad faces a listener who reckons he’s too blunt for his own good – will he tone it down or double down? (Spoiler: you probably know the answer already).
We wrap things up with this week’s Cockney slang challenge: “biscuits and cheese.” Any guesses? Drop them in the comments!
