Broadcasts live every Wednesday at 7:00p.m. uk time on Radio Soapbox: http://radiosoapbox.comIn this lively Bonfire Night episode of the Shelley Tasker Show, I’m joined by my wonderfully sardonic co‑host, Mr Mallifficus Scott, for a warm, rambling catch‑up that swings from soggy UK weather and sleep‑deprived creativity to clocks changing, calendars, and the cozy comforts of autumn. We chat music-making mishaps, seaside nostalgia, wetsuit woes, the joys and perils of electric cars, and language quirks, before wading into spikier territory: remembrance parades and red tape, gender and changing‑room policies, schools and pronouns, ‘furries’ and litter boxes, and how bureaucracy and culture wars shape everyday life. We close with nods to news (Dick Cheney’s passing, prisoner release blunders), Cornwall curios, and a reflective segment on post‑WWII history that challenges received narratives—rounded off with tunes to lift the mood and see you into the week.Expect banter, honesty, a few rants, and a lot of heart—from beach walks and Blackadder to harmonies, poppies, and the peculiarities of modern Britain.
