ECHOES OF COCKNEY // BBC RADIO 4 SHORT CUTS

I'm thrilled to announce that my short documentary, “Echoes of Cockney”, is featured in an episode of BBC Radio 4's acclaimed radio show, Short Cuts. In this episode, host Josie Long presents a collection of short documentaries under the theme:

"Evaporating answers, mysterious music and disappearing dialects - Josie Long presents short documentaries about things in danger of becoming lost."

My documentary is a heartfelt interview with my father, delving into the gradual loss of the Cockney dialect and rhyming slang, exploring the profound changes in East London over the years and what it means to be a cockney. The piece also includes poetry written by me, juxtaposed against the interview, giving more context and expressing my own feelings on Cockney culture.
