If you are in Australia you probably know of Andrew Denton the comedian, but did you know he is also a highly successful changemaker?
In this chat Andrew shares his journey of a life that began in comedy, then ventured into long form interviews with the popular television show “Enough Rope”, then a decade ago took him to a decision to try and change the laws on Voluntary Assisted Dying.
Andrew shares what it was like to come to social change as a novice - and to learn the many steps of how to make powerful change with others. And despite the constant theme of death - the chat is also pretty funny.

What are some of the skills or insights shared by some of America’s extraordinary change makers, people like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Alicia Garza or Loretta Ross? In particular, what can these people teach us about how to build larger movements for change?
Anand Giridhardhas, author of Persuaders, talks us through what he discovered when he interviewed these and other American change makers. In this chat Anand shares the story behind why he came to write this book - about his own story as a bridge builder between cultures and the lessons he learnt about how people navigate change.
The chat then turns to his book Persuaders - identifying lessons about how persuaders communicate, how they work across difference, and how important it is for movements to be able to think about the kind of implications that change making has on communities while they are prosecuting change with communities.
This chat is all about Persuaders, but Anand has written four powerful books: India Calling, True American, Winners Take All and Persuaders. You can find out more about Anand here - https://www.anand.ly/.

What would it mean if we had local authorities and councils that saw their mission as building relationships with the communities they serve? This week we talk with Nick Kimber, the Director of Strategy and Design at the London Borough of Camden. He has helped create a council that builds relationships with the community it serves in everything that it does, from child protection to garbage collection.
He shares with us how he came to believe in the power of relationships in local authorities, and what it means for councils to serve a mission of place making. For all those people who used to laugh at Yes Minister, this episode is a powerful salve, sharing how public servants can be powerful change makers and be a source for generating ordinary hope.
This episode is the first in our 2024 UK special, sponsored by the Civic Power Fund and the UCL Policy Lab. They bring together extraordinary ideas and everyday experience to understand how we can change the world.

If climate change affects everything - then what do we do to reimagine how we work, live and care for each other? This episode is with Dr Kim Loo - a leading Australian community climate activist and local Sydney-based General Practitioner, who has connected her role as a community doctor and her passion for the natural world to make sure she is building a healthy community for us all.
Here she talks about how growing up in multicultural South Western Sydney taught her about the power of community but also the impact of pollution on our health. As a doctor she has sought to create care that is not just about patients as individuals, but for healthy communities and healthy societies. She shares her understanding of the role of experts and the role of place in making change, and reminds us of the power of relationships.
Kim talks about her membership of Doctors for the Environment, and you can find out more about them here: https://dea.org.au/.

As a tribute to the magnificent Andre Braugher and his alter ego Captain Holt - we are re-releasing this episode with Brooklyn 99 writers and cast recorded back in 2018.
What can we learn when a Hollywood TV show gets into ChangeMaking? Comedy show Brooklyn 99 took on police racism. How did they do it in a way that people didn’t turn off?
We interviewed Terry Crews, Dan Good (Series Creator) and the writer of their #BlackLivesMatter episode Moo Moo Phil Jackson to find out about the politics behind the show. Listen in for the moment when Dan Goor does a magnificent Captain Holt.
Vale Andre Braughter.

In our last episode for 2023 we bring you an episode from 2021 - recorded in the weeks after the Presidential Election - that explores Deep Canvassing. Deep Canvassing uses the story telling and listening techniques of community organising to talk to voters about how they might vote in an election. It has been shown to be radically effective at engaging and persuading people. It is a very different form of electoral engagement to the typical transactional or rapid pace sales pitch usually associated with electoral campaigning.
This is a very important conversation given that 2024 is the year of the UK and US elections, and in places like Australia there are serious reflections about what did not work in the Voice referendum.
We will see you all again in late January 2024.

She shares her journey into making change - and the influences of he family and the place where she lives.

Broad based organising in the United Kingdom has a long history - starting with the pioneering work of "TELCO" (The East London Citizens Organisation). In this chat, Emmanuel Gotora - Lead Organiser at TELCO and Assistant Director at Citizens UK shares that story while also sharing his story of his journey into organising. This is an episode about the slow but powerful journey of leadership development, and the power that can come when communities join together to fight for their needs.
We are delighted to join Citizens UK and TELCO in celebrating 25 years of community organising in the UK (and indeed, because of Covid - we are really celebrating 27 years!). Emmanuel's story and the story of TELCO provide a rich picture to the power of community organising. This is an important story for showing how community organising has traveled and changed, from its origins in Chicago in the 1930s in the work of Saul Alinsky - to different places, with different forms across the world.

They say "don't meet your heroes" but thankfully that isn't always true. Jane McAlevey is one of those people who would call "bullshit" on people calling her a hero - but I'm an Australian - so I say bullshit back.
Jane is a fighter - and this conversation with her recorded in 2021 demonstrates that. Jane has taught us many of the rules about how to fight and how to win. Jane is not well (see this piece in the New Yorker) - but she is still fighting. Not just for her health but for the welfare and rights of workers across the US and beyond.
We - I - wanted to celebrate all she has done and the lessons she has offered. She has influenced how I think, how I organise and more importantly - her guidance has gifted the world clear lessons in union organising that are working to improve lives all over the place.
Jane has a new book out - Rules to Win (more information is HERE). Irrespective of whether you have not heard of her or if you know her well - take a listen and go read that book. Let her spiky wisdom ring in your ears.

How do anthropologists use curiosity to see and support people to make change in the world? And what is an anthropologist anyway?
In this conversation we talk with Nikita Simpson about how she came to work as an anthropologist, having worked up a curiosity about the similarities and differences between communities and cultures from growing up in a bi-racial family in Australia. She takes us to the Himalayas where she has worked with communities to understand the complex dynamics of care in communities subject to radical change, and to the pandemic in the UK, where anthropologists played a critical role in helping government create new supports for communities in crisis.
If you have ever thought of yourself as curious - then this is an episode for you.

In this episode from 2021, we look at the power of public servants and how they make change with one of Australia's most senior former public servants - Peter Shergold.
In what ways are public servants ChangeMakers, and how can advocacy groups build more powerful relationships with them? This chat is with one of Australia’s most senior former public servants – Peter Shergold – who was a senior official in both the Hawke Labor Government and the Howard conservative Liberal Government. He shares stories about what it is like to work in the public service, and the challenges and limitations that it brings. He gives us an insight into what public servants are doing right now as they prepare to support a new Federal Government in Australia, on the issue of climate change.

What would it take for communities reliant on fossil fuels to be leaders in the climate transition? In this chat Elise Ganley, the National Lead Organiser for the Real Deal for Australia project explores how communities like Gladstone and Geelong are leading the way in designing policies that create an economic transition in ways that are shaped by their interests. Elise lives in Gladstone and grew up in regional South Australia, she tells the story of how these communities have used community organising and worked with the Sydney Policy Lab at the University of Sydney to create a community-led transition from the ground up.
For more on the Real Deal see here: https://www.sydney.edu.au/sydney-policy-lab/our-research/real-deal.html.

We are all different - but some of these differences are hard to see. That includes differences based on our neurodiversity or our mental health. This conversation is with Jacinta Dietrich the co-host of the Differently Brained podcast. She is autistic and has lived with the challenges of mental health. She co-created a podcast to make a space for people to share how they live differently.
Jacinta shares openly about her neurodivergence and the community she has created. We also have a lovely chat about changemaking - and the power that “small” change, like one to one conversations can bring to changing the world.
You can find out more about the Differently Brained podcast here: https://differentlybrainedpodcast.podbean.com/, where there are links to episodes. The podcast can be found on all the podcast apps.

If you are in Australia you might have heard of GetUp, or if you are in the United States you probably know about MoveOn - but you might not be aware that these kinds of digital advocacy movements operate in 20 countries around the world. These groups are linked through a global network called OPEN (Online Progressive Engagement Network) and today we talk with Nina Hall who has written the book about how the network works!
We explore what makes these organisations similar and how their work differs across the world. We talk about a big debate inside the network - about having their campaigns between being led by member preferences and being stewarded by staff. This is a chat we at ChangeMakers particularly enjoyed as our host, Amanda Tattersall helped found GetUp in Australia.
If you have been getting emails from one of these organisations - come and have a listen to how they work!

Making change is be invaluable, but without resources it is hard to do. This episode digs into the question of how to raise money to make changemaking happen. We talk with Martha McKenzie the Executive Director of the Civic Power Fund in the United Kingdom. The Civic Power Fund is dedicated to raising resources for community organising - providing seed grants and creating understanding amongst philanthropists of the particular power that organising can create.
This Chat digs into how they have done this and some of the obstacles they have encountered. It is a tour de force about all things organising, and it demonstrates the power of using the principles of organising to ‘disorganise and reorganise’ philanthropy.
In the Chat Martha mentions a few ideas which you can find out more about here:
