Taking My White Privilege On – Episode Two
In this episode I talk to Casey Bailey, the Birmingham Poet Laureate. It’s a wide-ranging conversation, but Casey is an Assistant Head Teacher and we naturally focus on education – and whether our education system is managing to be as fair and equal as it ought to be…

Coming Soon! Narrating the Future Podcasts
As part of my ‘Narrating the Future’ Arts Council England bid, I’m currently recording a series of podcasts with black artists from different backgrounds and working in different art forms, to find out more about their colour has affected their lives and opportunities and what white artists – and the white community in general – can do to create a more equal world.

Taking the Tradition On with Helen East – what made Duncan Williamson so important within British storytelling?
I’m very excited to release my first full length podcast – it’s been a steep learning curve, but I’m really pleased how it’s turned out. I visited Helen East to talk about Duncan, what he was like and why his legacy is still important and relevant today.
So here it is – 45 minutes (ish) of Jack tales and selkies; why Duncan would have been part of Extinction Rebellion and how to shoe a horse with a car tyre.

Coming soon!
As part of my ACE funded project I’m going to be producing a series of podcasts – sharing what I discover on Duncan’s tapes; interviewing eminent artists whose work has been strongly influenced by Duncan; sharing memories, anecdotes and jokes and exploring topics such as how to earn, learn and tell material from a culture that is not your own and transferring skills from one tradition to another
My Zoom and mics have arrived and I can’t wait to head down to London on 22nd October. Cecil Sharpe House are kindly giving me the use of a room so I can have a day of podcast training with the marvellous Hannah Hethmon.
