We have Lyft Off, yes The Cab Chat Show is back with a slightly new format and we are now also on YouTube. I am gong to be having more guests on the show going forward, people from within the trade and also those who supply services to London’s Taxi Drivers. I may also revisit some of the old interviews that I did over the years and then go back and try to interview those people again to see if their views and opinions have changed of the trade. Most of the shows will now be recorded in the back of a taxi as I do not have another venue to conduct these interviews and I personally think that being as the show is called Cab Chat recording from within a Taxi is probably the best place to record them. We will also beiong doing the old format Cab Chat Show like we did in the past and I may try to get the old team back together to see what they are all doing these days, we just need to find somewhere that would lend us a venue to be able to achieve this. FreeNow has been acquired by Lyft the American ride sharing company and I ask the question? What is the difference between a driving being on FreeNow and being on Uber?

This week marks the 10th Anniversary of The Cab Chat Show Can you believe it is 10 years since we first recorded the show? We have pieces from most of the original team of Cab Chat from back in the days of the Royal Oak Taxi drivers cafe. We get back together to record the 10th Anniversary show with Mac The Cab and Jamie The Cabby. I took part in a podcast by New York Times best selling author Dan Heath which you can listen to here https://www.podbean.com/media/share/dir-fn2wv-216b15c8?utm_campaign=w_share_ep&utm_medium=dlink&utm_source=w_share Whats next for Cab Chat?

There are various reasons for this but we are not going to make excuses, we have both basically been lazy and havent managed to get together to record the show. So we thought the time had come to get our arses into gear and sit down to record a podcast. Although we had planned the date we were going to record a few weeks ago we were both toally unprepared for doing the show, basically lazy once again. So we sat down and winged it right through the show, now some of you may say you can’t notice any difference, but I can assure you that we do usually prepare beore we record a show. We do however promise you the listener that we will be better prepared for future shows. We also promise to be more consistent during 2023 and get shows out on a more regular basis.
