About This Podcast

Soho, that one square mile at the heart of bohemian, cosmopolitan London, has been the setting for a surprisingly large number of films. In each episode of Soho Bites, producer and presenter Dominic Delargy is joined by a special guest to discuss a different Soho film, accompanied by a shorter, thematically linked item drawing on Soho's rich history of crime, music, art, vice & film. Guests have included BFI curators, film scholars, crime historians, former Windmill girls, punk musicians, jazz singers and the occasional actual film star. Written, produced & presented by Dominic Delargy. Based on an original idea by Dr Jingan Young. https://bsky.app/profile/sohobitespodcast.com https://sohobitespodcast.com/donate https://sohobitespodcast.com/review
