Podcast feedHumans of Camden - Episode 1
‘Humans of Camden’ is a podcast series for Camden Community Radio inspired by the photography project, ‘Humans of New York’. In it, Bonny walks around different parts of Camden asking passersby to talk to her for 5 minutes. The aim is to capture a cross-section of street life in this diverse and eclectic borough of London.
The first episode was recorded in Camden Town and Mornington Crescent. Bonny asks: “Why are you here?”, “Is there anything you’re struggling with at the moment?”, “What advice have you found helpful that you’d share with others?” (etc.)

Making a Dent
Hanging high under a famous roof, the huge white dial and gold hands of the St Pancras station clock does its job telling travellers the time. But did you know it has also travelled and has its own surprising story to tell?
Jean Jacyna of the Camden Tour Guides Association pieces together the story with help from Josie Murray, Senior Heritage Advisor at HS1, Ian and Pam Thompson from Nottingham and the former curator of the British Horological Institute Museum, Viscount Alan Middleton.
Written and presented by Jean Jacyna
Produced by Freddy Chick
The BHI museum is open every Friday from 26 May to 8 September 11am-3pm (£3 entry).

Canals, boatmen and life on the water
Camden’s canals are peaceful places to withdraw from the city, but they’re also home to a vibrant boating community. Cale recently strolled from Camden Lock to Lisson Grove. Along the way, he spoke with three boatmen – Toby, Nick and Dave – about what they love about being on the water.
