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 19: British Myths, Firework Rants & “The Dog Don’t Like My Boyfriend!”
Autumn’s here and the nights are drawing in — which means the moaning’s back in full swing!
This week Lew and Steve dive into some of the biggest misconceptions about British people:
☕ Do we really live off tea and crumpets?
🇬🇧 Do we all sound like the Royal Family?
🦷 And what’s the truth about those “bad British teeth”?
💥 In Adam & Eve It (Rant of the Week), Lew’s had enough of random fireworks going off at midnight — poor Belle’s in bits and he’s calling for a national ban (with a cheeky idea for “silent fireworks”).
🐶 Then in Say It Like Steve, a listener asks: “My dog hates my new boyfriend — should I take it as a sign?”
😂 And don’t miss The Bleedin’ Dad Joke, where things descend into chaos, bad puns, and the odd snort-laugh.
So stick the kettle on, grab a biscuit, and join two generations of London life having a right old natter.
