Interesting East Dulwich interviewees for a kids podcast - suggestions please!

[Jamma]

Among my jobs I make podcasts. Perhaps not surprisingly my kids are keen to make some podcasts too and this seemed like a good summer holidays project.

I've had them on my politics podcast once or twice before interviewing MPs and we thought we'd like an interview section of whatever we cook up over the summer.

I've approached Helen Hayes to come on but I was hoping to widen the field a bit. Can anyone recommend interesting locals we could talk to? Could be celebrities who live in the area and might be amenable but also just folk from round about with interesting tales to tell and who would get on with kids interviewing them. eg, I'm wondering about the chap from Rye Books who could talk about his favourite books and make recommendations etc.

All and any ideas very gratefully received. (You'll get a shoutout on the podcast as thanks!)

Have you thought about interviewing an older person who has lived through WW2? My recently deceased 92 year old next door neighbour had some amazing stories about the war.

[Jamma]

Yes. That's a good idea, particularly given all the plaques marking where bombs dropped in the area etc.

The guys at Herne Hill Velodrome might welcome the chance to speak on your podcast...
