Piddington has declared independence! That's Piddington, down the road from Bicester and all its designer outlets.
Alex, Naomi and Kenny ask what on earth is gong on, and what does it tell us about the power of community?
They are joined by Kaneez Shaid and Will Higham who are, happily, releasing a fab new podcast all about how to activate your community and go on a quest for a better world.
It's called How Do You Solve A Problem Like Everything? and it's the newest addition to the Cooler Heads podcast family (that's our little operation!).

All of a sudden, Reform UK has loadsamoney. In fact, this week it's received more wonga than all the UK political parties received last year.
So should we congratulate Farage & Co? Or is this the perfect time (OK, perhaps a little late) to re-examine what the implications for the funding and operation of our political parties are?
Naomi, Kenny and Alex are joined by Kaneez Shaid and Will Higham – both to chat funding and to reveal details of their fab new podcast, How Do You Solve A Problem Like Everything?, which is the newest addition to our Cooler Heads family of shows!

Trump is so thistry for the midterms, he is offering bribes from money he doesn't have. Stephen Yaxley Lennon is promising to pay it forward but doesn't. And tech bros want it so much, they're okay with species extinction.
