The world often feels rigged. And this episode is a wake-up call to recognize the barriers that exist for those who don’t fit the traditional mold. In this episode, which is a kind of tribute to my dear departed Dad, I recount some powerful lessons from the man who was a brilliant psychiatrist and my biggest champion. He taught me that if something feels off about the environment you’re in, it probably is—and it’s absolutely hella-not your fault. We dare to break into the uncomfortable truth that many workplaces are designed for a very specific demographic, leaving neurodivergent individuals, particularly those on the autism spectrum, feeling excluded. I share three stories in which my Dad imparted to me more than my fair share of his wisdom, and I'm hoping you to can feel empowered. You'll learn that we can advocate for ourselves and others to create a more inclusive work culture.

Here in an interview recorded in 2016, we hear Brian being interviewed for a special radio doc by Made in Manchester (Distinct Nostalgia's producers) which was never aired. We've only found half of it and will put the second part as soon as we find it. In the meantime enjoy over an hour with one of the real greats of Television. Distinct Nostalgia presenter Ashley Byrne says: 'Brian memorably once said to me in a Granada TV programme we made 'you should never patronise kids. Treat them like little adults and throw the smarties high.' That comes over in all of his animation work. RIP Brian. You were a genuine legend for millions of us. Researched by Andrew Edwards.

Let us know what you think of the latest episode of Distinct Nostalgia by clicking here and sending us a message He was everyone’s loveable layabout. Shelley played by Hywell Bennett was huge, pulling in massive viewing figures in the 70s and 80s. Very much of its time, when unemployment soared in the early years of Thatcher’s government, Shelley (produced by Thames Television) kicked back against authority and with his sardonic wit captivated millions going through the same situation. But amazingly the series has stood the test of time and Shelley’s often intelligent monologue ramblings would probably work today. Here Belinda Sinclair, who played Shelley’s partner Fran talks about landing the role and how it was nearly someone else playing Shelley. Belinda talks candidly about working with Hywell Bennett and Josephine Tewson - and how the role changed her life. She also talks about her soap role in ch5’s Family Affairs. And there’s plenty of interviews and reunions plus new comedy and drama to come in coming months on Distinct Nostalgia. So keep checking for new shows.

Let us know what you think of the latest episode of Distinct Nostalgia by clicking here and sending us a message Barry Evans was a huge star in the 60s, 70s and 80s. One of the heart-throbs of his day, he was recognisable to millions for his roles in several big ITV sitcoms like Doctor in the House and later as the teacher Mr Brown in the London Weekend hit Mind Your Language. But Barry kept himself to himself and was a very private figure. Little has ever really been said or written about him until now Here Ashley chat's to Daniel Ward who has just published a new book about Barry's life and death Across 75 minutes, they discuss his career, fame, personal life (it's emerged Barry was actually bisexual) and the circumstances surrounding what remains his suspicious death. For anyone who remembers Barry Evans, it's an intriguing chat. Daniel Ward's book is available price £19.99 from Fantom Publishing. www.fantompublishing.co.uk Distinct Nostalgia costs time and money to run. And we'd welcome support on Patreon.
