the ontheroad podcast
jamesbrownontheroad.wordpress.com makes a big leap and goes aural, with occasional broadcasts featuring low-fi minutiae and esoteric happenings from the road. Encounters and conversations with interesting people in interesting places in the UK, Europe and North America. Wandering chit chats about the arts, architecture, culture, food, travel and urban life, heard through the microphone of James Brown.

The week of 13 to 19 August 2007 is National Allotments Week in the UK. So to find out more about urban gardening, James heads to Hackney and to an allotment garden in Spring Hill to find out more about the people who make one corner of a north London sports field their own.

James heads to Bloomsbury in Central London to visit the shop of Persephone Books, a small independent publisher that has carved a niche for itself specialising in beautifully designed and and printed editions of previously neglected novels, diaries, poetry and cookery books. Special thanks to Emily Hill for showing me around and introducing me to Persephone Books.
