    Naming the Overground: The Lioness line with Leah Williamson and Chloé Kelly
    Jul 31 2024
    England football heroes Leah Williamson and Chloé Kelly join Tim Dunn on the new episode - two years since they won the Euros on home soil. Tim travels to St George's Park to sit down with the Lionesses to hear their thoughts about the newly named Lioness line on the London Overground - and what that represents for the women's game. They also talk about their impact on football and beyond, selling out Wembley Stadium, and how they’re still fighting to change perceptions. It's a podcast of two halves, and in the second half Tim goes inside Wembley Stadium itself for an inspiring chat with the FA Grassroots Referee of the Year, Surekha Griffiths.

    Naming the Overground: The Mildmay line
    Jul 16 2024
    Tim Dunn starts his journey across the London Overground map to uncover the incredible stories behind the six new line names. In this first episode, Tim travels to a hospital that Princess Diana visited 17 time: the Mildmay, a small but crucial charitable NHS hospital with a long history of helping Londoners in need, from the cholera outbreak in 1866 to supporting and treating patients affected by HIV and AIDS. The Mildmay line journey Tim meet former patient, campaigner and AIDS survivor Jason Reid, who tells his story of becoming seriously ill with AIDS in the early 2000s and the importance of Mildmay hospital staff supporting him and helping him to survive during an incredibly difficult time mentally and physically. Tim is also taken on a tour of the facilities by Mildmay CEO Geoff Coleman, and speaks with social worker and safeguarding lead Beverley Nelson, who's been working at the Mildmay for 14 years and talks about the community lead approach and environment created at the hospital. We’ll be travelling right across the map on the London Overground to speak to people who’s stories are interwoven with the names of the new names of London's Overground lines, and we'll be delving into some amazing stories about survival, equality, breaking barriers, and the history that’s made London what it is today.

    Join TV Presenter and Broadcaster Rylan on the ultimate Christmas commute! Tim Dunn gets special permission to take Rylan on a ride in the driver’s cab on a Central line Train, all the way from Oxford Circus to Epping. You may not know, but Rylan is a self-confessed Tube obsessive, and cannot hold back his excitement. He tells Tim about how he fell in love with the Tube in his childhood, the Tube station he's built in his garage, what the London Underground means to him and how it's shaped his life. Rylan and Tim get an incredible view of the tunnels and secrets you normally don't get to see from the driver's cab at the back of the train - and try not to push any buttons. The festive adventure, and Rylan's dream trip, continues when the pair board a vintage Routemaster bus, which takes them to a magical railway - and a very special Christmas steam train. Thanks to the TfL staff, plus staff & volunteers of the Epping Ongar Railway - who helped us make this episode.
