6. Nostalgia, TV Rentals and 'Rabbits Ears', School Kids from the 80s & First Records
from Braytalkingheads · host Braytalkingheads
This episode of Bray Talking Heads is full of nostalgia! We dive into the archives with a charming playback of old interviews recorded by BLB’s Uncle Bob, featuring children from the Holy Communion class at Ravenswell School. Can you recognise any of those young voices? Remember when Bray had several TV rental shops? Back when a television cost nearly a month's wages, renting was the norm. Malcolm Hill, a former repair engineer, takes us back to those black-and-white days. And finally, can you remember the first record you ever bought? We take a musical trip down memory lane. Bray Talking Heads is hosted by Mark Quinn, Leah Kinsella and Pat Hannon. A podcast celebrating the stories, history, and people of Bray, past and present. Whether you're a lifelong Brayite or just discovering this special town, join us for conversations that connect, inspire, and bring our community to life - wherever you are in the world. Bray Talking Heads continues the spirit of local storytelling, following in the footsteps of BLB (Bray Local Broadcasting), the beloved community radio station. Tell a friend, let them know about our podcast! Longer versions of some of the interviews are on our Soundcloud channel. @braytalkingheads Artwork by Jody Hogg Design jodyhogg.com Listen on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and all major platforms.
