'Who needs a review in the Guardian when children acknowledge you' ... Dave Walker MBE picked out this great line from Stephen's podcast.

Stephen is a much published writer of Black British History. He is a delightful man and a longstanding member of the Southwark IAG - a group that links up with local police as 'critical friend'. His is a story of a family who embraced Esther, a young Black woman orphaned during World War II. Decades later their boy became a prolific author of Black British History. No ordinary story. No university education. He also has views on whether the Met can survive its current crises.

Here's another short trailer for PECKHAM PODCAST's Black History Month edition with writer Stephen Bourne:https://youtu.be/qRAmW2shHPk

Black History Month with PECKHAM PODCAST presents Stephen Bourne, local to Peckham and Camberwell, who is a much published author of books on Black British History. Catch his fascinating conversation when the podcast goes live at 4pm on Monday 14 October. He also has something to say about the Met Police. Meanwhile there's always Dave, Fernando, Althea, George and Ben on the PECKHAM PODCAST channel already: www.youtube.com/@PECKHAMPODCAST-r2f

Here's a comment I received this morning: "Ben shows us that opening up our own vulnerabilities, allows us to have the empathy, compassion and purpose to help others on their journey to problem solving to hopefully make choices for the greater good. We need lots of Ben's in this world." Ben's conversation covers his new enterprise called Cards Of Life, which is a coaching programme; he talks about how developing coaching skills empowered him along the way; Phone Savvy was a brilliant telecoms enterprise he developed while inside, which within three months had established itself in prisons across the country then went international; he spoke about SVI (Shame/Violence Intervention), a respected therapeutic approach to working with violent offenders which was brought to a halt after ten years of beneficial practice in HMP Wandsworth ... and more. Ben is full of insights and challenging aphorisms, e.g. "Pain is just weakness leaving the body." Ben and I talked for just over the hour. An hour well spent. If you give it a go, please leave a comment, like, subscribe etc. It all helps to promote these positive stories which ideally would end up in front of young people too.

PECKHAM PODCAST Extra 8 minute video, a snapshot of Southport from a trip I took up there yesterday answering a need I felt just to be there and 'know' the town. What would it be like? Life in Peckham and inner London teaches us many things but the way of life in a Northern seaside town - the sea has now retreated I learnt, beyond the dunes, and so can't be seen. https://youtu.be/E7GbNf3-hz8

Here's Fernando. He and his incredible life story are available from midday on Wednesday 24 July.

Born in a Miami prison, ordained in London at St Paul's Cathedral. Your parents are drug addicts and criminals, you become addicted and then even more heavily involved, prison follows ... yet Fernando Carrillo, who gives a truly open account of his life journey to Christ Church Peckham, is now Priest-in-Charge over there on the Old Kent Road. Oh, and he does Cross Fit. And is European Champion. You may just be inspired. This looks like some form of Redemption in action. Whatever you believe or don't, something's going on.

First up will be Dave Walker MBE, a mediator born and bred in Southwark who also trains young people in schools to mediate with their peers who have a beef with one another.
