Untelevised: The Podcast

So, we’ve reached the final chapter of our land series. An exploration that has taken us on a journey from movement on land, to belonging to land, to healing from land. And we’re ending by daring to dream big! By pushing the boundaries of what our current society offers us, we’re investigating what our world would look like if everyone in it had access to enough. By rejecting notions like exclusivity, division, conflict and suffering, we’re proposing that Earth is an abundant land that can, and should, be shared. To do this, we reimagine ownership, challenge capitalism (as always) and even get a bit spiritual! With help from Guests Rachel Solnick from Miknaf Ha'aretz and Beth Stratford from London Renters Union, who together strike a beautiful balance between the ideological, the creative and the practical solutions we need. ---------- Learn - what is abundance?

Last episode, we explored what it means to belong to land - to find safety, to feel settled, to lay down roots and build a life. Building on this foundation, in this episode we are exploring what it means to go beyond survival and begin to find healing. With climate change at the top of the world's political agenda, we're increasingly becoming aware of the damage and destruction that we are causing to the planet. We've heard the cries for us to stop and heal the earth - but in that process can we also heal ourselves? Are they synonymous? Or does one lead to the other?  We put these questions to Farzana Khan, from Healing Justice, and Nicki Myers from Disabled People Against Cuts. ---------- Learn - what is healing?

Last episode we investigated what it means to have a transient relationship to land - to constantly roam, to migrate to another place, or even to be forcibly displaced. In Chapter 2 of our land series, we're exploring the opposite. Looking at what it means to belong to a specific place. And what impact a sense of belonging to and connection with land has on us emotionally, physically, materially, politically and socially. Taking it beyond the capitalist notion of land belonging to us, we challenge the existing frameworks of ownership and power over land and try to establish what it is that gives us a meaningful relationship with the land that we occupy - and subsequently - to each other as a human race. We go on this important and thought provoking journey with activist, Javier Sanchez-Rodriguez, from Anne Matthews Trust and Design Researcher, Andre Reid, from Kiondo. ---------- Learn - what do we mean by belonging?

Movement is a central part of (human) life. For some of us, it is fuelled by excitement and represents adventure or freedom. For others, it is fuelled by fear and represents a chance at survival. Regardless of the cause of our movement, we all seek some sort of safe land upon arrival - to live, rest, feed, grow and thrive. Whether that land be temporary or permanent, none of us is exempt from this need. In this episode, we're exploring different forms of movement and investigating how they affect our relationship both with land and with one another. Join us as we speak to Showman, Tyler Hatwell, from Traveller Pride and Diasporan,  Sam Siva, from Land in Our Names (LION). ---------- Learn - what do we mean by movement?

Apparently not many of us. The majority of the land that we occupy is out of bounds - a massive 92% of our countryside and 97% of our rivers are hidden behind "no trespassing", "no public access" and "private property" signs. But who controls what land, for how long, for what purposes and for whose benefit, is all central to shaping our lives. Intrinsically linked to every other element, from our access to food, to the jobs we work, where (or if) we go to school and even how likely we are to get arrested. In the 90th year since the landmark Kinder Scout Mass Trespass, we're speaking to voices at the forefront of the land justice movement to discover what fair access for all looks like and how we might get there. In this intro episode, we share some snippets from this journey from movement, to belonging, to healing, until we reached abundance.

Young people are the face of the climate movement, both in who we are shown and who the messaging is targeted at.  In this episode we investigate this heightened interest amongst young people, asking whether it is a natural part of the optimism of youth or it has come about through necessity. And explore the consequences of placing this weight on young shoulders. To do this, we’re speaking to young people who are fighting for change across two different continents.  ---------- Learn - what is youth?

Many of the solutions for preventing rapid climate change, and tackling its adverse effects, exist within Indigenous cultures and practices. For decades, they've been routinely dismissed and ignored. Now that there is an increased urgency, this ancient wisdom is being commercialised - repackaged for sale without acknowledgement of where it originated. In this episode, we give this process a name: Recuperation. And we explore what happens when radical ideas are adopted and diluted by mainstream culture.  To do this, we're chatting to two organisations that celebrate the contributions of Ancient and Indigenous cultures, create authentic spaces for learning and give a platform to marginalised voices. ---------- Learn - what is recuperation?

The growth rate of the charity sector now exceeds that of both the public and private sectors. In our third episode of season three, we're asking what this means for social justice and the individuals and organisations fighting for it. Whilst acknowledging that money is an inescapable need, we explore how we might stay true to our values whilst seeking it. To do this, we’re exploring two very different approaches - philanthropic foundations and social entrepreneurship. ---------- Learn - what is philanthropy?

Capitalism relies on the exploitation of the planet's resources and people for continuous financial growth. A changing climate is, arguably, an inevitable result of this relentless pursuit. Therefore, although we might consider climate change an environmental issue, the fight for climate justice must be a sociopolitical one that interrogates all of the structures of our society. So, in this episode, we’re doing just that! By exploring whether we can achieve climate justice without completely changing the way that we live, consume and trade. To do this, we’re speaking with two people who are fighting for change from opposite sides of the fence - both inside and outside of our corporate world. ---------- Learn - what is capitalism?

The last couple of weeks have been a noisy time, with everyone sharing their perspectives on what's been happening inside the (rather exclusionary) walls of the COP26 summit, on the streets surrounding it and globally. For us at Untelevised, social change is about uncovering the root causes of injustice and discovering alternatives. So, rather than focusing on the event of COP itself, we see this as an opportunity to explore the wider themes around climate justice. And we've found voices at the grassroots that we can learn, discuss and share radical alternatives with. The 'Climate &' series is the result of these conversations.

It's our last episode for this season, which means we’re wrapping up our exploration of democracy!  Over the season we've looked at what the word means in theory, in practice, the systems it influences and the systems it is influenced by. Many of our discussions have revolved around the idea of everyday citizens having more opportunities to contribute directly to the decisions that govern our society. So to conclude the season, we're exploring what this might look like and what impact it would have, using referendums as a starting point. ***Apologies for the intermittent drilling!

In our penultimate episode of the season, we’re continuing our exploration of democracy with a deep dive into education. Schools are a fundamental foundation of a society, where each generation of citizens go to learn what and how to think.  Currently, England’s education system has been built to get as many children as possible learning a fixed set of things in a fixed way. And then to prove this knowledge through testing and exams. But is this what society, or its children, want or needs? We explore this with a State Secondary School teacher and an Education Policy Expert.    Thank you to Renata Medeiros Mirra, Lecturer at Cardiff University, for suggesting this topic and helping us to produce the episode.

In our continuing deep dive into democracy, this episode we’re exploring something called Citizens’ Assemblies.  Based on the principle that politicians should be replaced by everyday people and decisions made through deliberation rather than along party lines, Citizens’ Assemblies are the most direct form of democracy that we’ve looked at so far. But are they a viable alternative to governing society en-masse?  We’re joined by Valerie Brown of the Burning Pink Party to find out.  Learn - what is a Citizens’ Assembly?

We're continuing to explore democracy, as the 'ordinary' persons opportunity to contribute to the conversations that govern our societies. This episode, we're turning our focus to its fourth pillar, the media.  The British media has notoriously been labelled ‘Pale, Male, Stale and Posh’ based on the fact that our journalists are predominantly white (94%), male (55%) and university-educated (86%). However, technology is transforming this landscape, making way for what we call ‘citizen journalism.’  Citizens or ordinary people are now documenting what they see, hear and think in ways that would have been impossible just a couple of decades ago. Playing an active role in the process of collecting, reporting, analysing and sharing news and information. We take a deep dive into what this means for society. We're also announcing some exciting news!  Learn - what is democratic media?

For the last few episodes we've been exploring democracy, as the 'ordinary' persons opportunity to contribute to the conversations that govern our societies. We started by looking at it in theory and applied it in practice to both our workplaces and our housing.   This week, off the back of some of the biggest elections (outside of a general election) in recent times in the UK, we're speaking to two everyday people who have decided to step into the forefront of our democratic process by running as candidates in their local elections. We explore what motivated them to run, the experience of running on both a practical and emotional level and what change might look like from within the system.  Learn - what are the different levels of government?

So, this episode we're continuing on with our exploration of democracy, as the 'ordinary' persons opportunity to contribute to the conversations that govern our societies. And we're taking it from theory into practice again by looking at how democratic principles might be applied to a living environment.

Last episode we explored democracy, as the 'ordinary' persons opportunity to contribute to the conversations that govern our societies. We took a deep dive into the theory of the concept and discovered that it has reach far beyond the ballot box.  This week we are taking it from theory into practice by looking at how democratic principles might be applied to a work environment. To do this we’re exploring two different democratic working structures - Workers Cooperatives and Employee Owned Businesses.   Learn - what are democratic workplaces?

Politics shouldn't be separate from everyday life. The decisions that are made by an elite group in Central London. Because politics inform everything we do and we feel the impact of political decisions constantly.   Democracy is promoted globally as the answer to this. The 'ordinary' persons opportunity to contribute to the conversations that govern our societies. But what does participating in democracy actually mean? Have we taken it so for granted that we seldom stop to reflect and assess how it is working? This episode we are doing exactly that. Exploring what democracy should ideally look like, what it currently does looks like and why there is a gap between the two.   Learn - what is democracy?

Last episode we explored socialism, as an increasingly popular alternative to our current capitalist system. We took a deep dive into the theory of the ideology; exploring its origins and principles.  This week we want to take this theory into practice and look at what an alternative society might look like in a 21st century context. To do this we’re chatting to some of the residents of Stadsnomaden (or City Nomads). An alternative community in Nijmegen, the city that's been named the 'communist city of the Netherlands'.  Learn - What is Stadsnomaden?

The term ‘socialism’ is becoming more and more mainstream. As people grow increasingly disillusioned by capitalism and seek alternatives to it, political figures like Bernie Sanders and Jeremy Corbyn have helped to propel the ideology into popular conscience. Support is especially high amongst younger generations with the majority of Brits under 60 favouring socialism and 70% of American Millennials saying they prefer socialist candidates. But things haven’t always been this way. The idea of socialism has existed for centuries and for much of that existence it has faced heavy criticism. So what has changed? Is it our collective consciousness or has the meaning of the word evolved?   We're taking a deep dive into this. Asking what does socialism really mean? What might it look and feel like?
