🌐 World Service #3, 2021. Special Places

In this edition:

  • The Beach Boys classic, ā€˜In My Room’ by the Spooky Men’s Chorale
  • Kids playing basketball on the street get a real surprise.
  • One of my favourite places.
  • Film Chat with Steve Parker reviews Oscar contender ā€˜The Father’.
  • The Playing for Change band honours their inspiration, street musician Roger Ridley and performs ā€˜Stand By Me’ to a packed house in Brazil.

Do you have a special place? A place of sanctuary you go when you need a lift?

The Beach Boys wrote a song, ā€˜In My Room’, reminding us about making our house into a home. For some young mothers, the toilet becomes that special place – lock the door and have a little peace from the demands of children!

For some kids, the street becomes a special place. It’s community – where everything happens. But they get a visit from the police! Recently, this viral video about what happens next popped up on Facebook.

Steve Parker and I have discovered a special place we love to go. I’ve included a short video about it. It is so special, I take flowers every week.

Steve chats with me about the Anthony Hopkins film, ā€˜The Father’, which is clearly heading to the Oscars.

The touring band of some of the musicians from around the world who are part of the charitable movement, ā€˜Playing for Change’ honour the inspiration behind the movement, the busker Roger Ridley.

This edition of The World Service was inspired by the special cafƩ where Steve Parker and I meet to produce the Film Chat segment for the World Service. Steve is also the wiz behind this website!

Do you have a special place? Let’s know what it is!
