But They’re Wrong Everyone Calls My Town Blackpool a Sh*thole... But They’re Wrong Not many people speak about Blackpool without judgement.

In this episode of A Lifetime of Wisdom, we take a ride with Parker Words, the poet behind the viral poem “Sh*thole”, a piece that challenged how people see his hometown Blackpool.

This episode is extra special as we visit The Big Food Project, the main charity food bank re-distributor in Blackpool, Fylde, and Wyre.

What happens when a place constantly written off by outsiders is seen through the eyes of someone who truly knows it?

From the struggles and stereotypes to the hidden beauty, community, and stories that make Blackpool what it is, this is an honest conversation about pride, perception, and why places are often far more than people give them credit for.

If you've ever judged a town by its reputation, this one might change your perspective.
