Location: Central Park

New York, NY

Guest: Rolando Pujol


Well this one was a joy. The wonderful Rolando Pujol from ABC 7 TV talks to me as we stroll through Central Park in New York City. We chat about the mom n pop shops, diners, drive-thru, dives, malls, motels and mid century design that inspired him to create his Retrologist newsletter and website. Oh and how the media and news landscape has changed!


Rolando, we gotta make a movie where we drive across America looking at Pizza Huts, Arby's, Arthur Treachers and all the rest, while staying in vintage motels like the Starlight. Are you in?

As always GRAZIE to Lucia Scazzocchio, Luke Jones (do listen to his brilliant podcast https://southgirlproductionmusic.com/category/podcast-production/), Rosie Wilby (https://www.instagram.com/breakupmonologues/?hl=en) and Mae-Li Evans for encouragement, production support and advice. There would be no podcast without these people. THANKS GUYS.

 

Park Date is about mixing the silly with the serious so do listen out for the original comedy we're slotting in between and after the interviews (which are hopefully pretty funny themselves). 


Do review, subscribe and like. Namecheck as many trees as possible in your reviews and make them as surreal as possible - I have a very nice prize to give out to the writer of the funniest review.
