Sciences – Royaume-Uni – Nouveaux podcasts

  • What makes you a heretic? Journalist Andrew Gold believes that, in an age of group-think and tribes, we need heretics - those who use unconventional wisdom to speak out against their own groups, from cancelled comedians and radical feminists to cult defectors and vigilantes hunting deviants.

    Learn from my guests how to rebel, think differently and resist social contagion. From Triggernometry's Francis Foster and the world's most cancelled man Graham Linehan to ex-Hasidic Jew Julia Haart and gender critical atheist Richard Dawkins. These are the people living with the weight of their own community's disappointment on their shoulders.

  • A new podcast from the Real Farming Trust and Animate earth exploring our sacred and reciprocal relationship with the Land. Hosted by Francesca Price and Rachel Fleming.

  • Wait, it’s a musical about what!?

    The Lifeline Project explores the science and the process behind the musical, ’Lifeline’, a show about antibiotics, Alexander Fleming and the biggest current health crisis you might never have heard of - AMR.

    In this podcast we delve into the science behind the stories in the show, exploring the global health through the eyes of scientists, doctors, writers and theatre folk. With antimicrobial resistance (AMR) threatening to kill 10 million people a year by 2050 the time to act is now, and what better way to find out about crisis than through a musical and its accompanying podcast!

    So, what is AMR? How do we prevent it? And how on earth can a musical about antibiotics make any difference?

    The Lifeline Project is produced and hosted by Graham Richardson with original music and editing support from Robin Hiley. The musical itself will be coming to New York for an off-Broadway run in autumn 2024, so watch this space for more details!

  • Did you know that Cable St was home to the largest confectionery and jam factory in the world? Or that cafes like the Somali run Club Rio offered ‘pockets of survival’ or ‘culinary safe havens’ (Sabar & Posner, 2013 and Wills, 2017 in Swan et al., 2023) against a backdrop of racism, exclusion and social impoverishment.

    In 2022, community researchers from the Women’s Environmental Network (Wen) and the University of Sussex co-produced a Food History Tour of Tower Hamlets as part of the Food Lives project (itself part of a larger inter-university research project called FoodSEqual and led by Reading University). ‘Our project is based in Tower Hamlets and we have partnered with the Women’s Environmental Network. We want to understand the food systems in everyday life and in particular, we’re very interested in women and their foodwork.’

    Over 3 episodes, community researchers Sajna Miah and Shazna Hussain, and Sussex University food and feminist specialist, Dr Elaine Swan, take us on a journey through time and racial and ethnic spaces, with insights into the food systems of the past and present day.

    The tour takes in Watney Market, Cable Street, the original site of Café Rio, Wombat’s City Hostel, Wilton’s Music Hall, the former dairies and sugar factories of Wellclose Square and Swedenborg Gardens, and ends in an urban orchard in the heart of the St George’s Estate. ‘While mainstream culinary tours might skip over the fraught histories of exclusion and struggle in Tower Hamlets,...alternative narratives...bring these elements to the forefront.’ (Swan et al., 2023)

    Collectively, we produced a map of the tour with artist Nasima Sultana (see images here) drawing on community, public and academic history illustrating the food histories of Tower Hamlets. We designed the tour map to enable local people and visitors to carry out their own exploration of the rich social, cultural and economic history of food and food production and the newer food economies in the area. These histories have shaped food production and consumption for over 150 years and flavour what locals buy, grow or eat in their own kitchens, local cafes and restaurants today.

    Historical analyses matter for a present day understanding of food systems, they inform an understanding of inequalities in contemporary food production and consumption. ‘...our research underlines the significance of historic non-white contributions to the food system within a context of racial inequality. The café owners and workers created what today we would call “community assets,” providing cultural and material nourishment, commensality, welfare, and feelings of conviviality’. (Swan et al., 2023)
