Hosted by Jo Burke, an actor, comedian and writer. Real Folk is a place to discover entertaining, inspiring and informative stories from the horse's mouth. Jo chinwags with guests from diverse backgrounds and delves into their lives so far. Guests include actors, adventurers, comedians, dancers, artists, singers, filmmakers, foster carers, authors, entrepreneurs, linguists and more.
Who would we be without our stories? Sharing, listening and learning about our experiences is the essence of being human. As you can tell, Jo is passionate about stories, in all forms and Real Folk was born during lockdown at her creative space Custard HQ in Folkestone.
