Wonderful World of Here

A first wander into the local: notes through doors, small experiments, and the magic of neighbourhoods. This episode explores what it means to feel “here” at the smallest scale, through a mix of classic clips, music, odd facts, and listener invitations. Part of Wonderful World of Here, a radio-style series exploring how we find our place across five geographical scales.Along the way, the episode opens with moments from:Lemn Sissay, Ghostbusters, Planes, Trains andAutomobiles, a deep-cut LTJ Bukem documentary, and a slightly unsettling Milton Keynes film.The episode also features brief music interludes to check out from Fulu Miziki (aka the best live band in the world), Alex Forster (aka vibes magician), and a deliberately overcooked epic 80s anthem AI detour. And pub ambience.Wonderful World of Here won’t immediately make your neighbours friendlier, summon a shop, or remove litter from your street - though here’s hoping. What it can do is gently nudge you towards a little more harmony with your particular corner of this world.In this episode we’re asking for your local stories, including: creative (or awkward) ways you’ve met your neighbours.the sign that tells you you’re nearly home.something you love locally and never told anyone. The more banal the better!the strangest or loveliest thing you’ve picked up off the street.is there something quietly mystical about where you live?wells and springs.If any of those spark a memory, I'd love to hear from you.
