If you ever felt tempted to use the phrase ‘Kids today don’t know they’re born!’, this episode is for you. With memories of epic trips from London to Exmouth and even Gorran Haven, simply to consume inedible Treacle Pudding and swim in freezing water, Rick and Griff remember the simple joys of the summer holiday. Expect AA Maps, boarding houses and Morris 8’s.Be part of the podcast, email Rick & Griff here…Questions@SOTSYO.co.uk

If music be the food of love, Rick and Griff should be positively ecstatic, being as it’s been SUCH a huge part of their lives, Rick as a player, Griff as a fan. In part 2 of their chat on music…(and there’ll probably be a part 3 later on too…), they talk Stereo, playing live, parents influence and even the Daily Mirror mystery man!Be part of the podcast, email Rick & Griff here…Questions@SOTSYO.co.uk

Life on the Road….sounds glamorous eh?! Well, maybe not as much as you’d think. A significant part of Rick and Griff’s life has been spent on the road. Touring. Travelling around the world.
