Welcome to CHANGEMAKERS with Catriona Oliphant, a new podcast series brought to you by CHROMERADIO in collaboration with the MONTHLY BAROMETER. CHANGEMAKERS was inspired by a series of conversations I had this autumn at the MONTHLY BAROMETER's SUMMIT OF MINDS in Chamonix. What struck me was how many people were involved in exciting ventures for bringing about positive change in different aspects of our lives – in our relationship with the environment, with our fellow human beings, and in our quality of life. CHANGEMAKERS bringing rays of hope to these dark times. In this series, they tell us about their vision, their journey and the challenges along the way. In our first episode, ELLEN WINDEMUTH, founder and supervisory board chair of the WATERBEAR NETWORK, shares her journey from documentary filmmaker to launching WATERBEAR, home to award-winning impact documentaries, series, and short films and the first interactive streaming platform devoted to protecting the future of our planet. ELLEN WINDEMUTH: "We need...disruptors on WaterBear...We cannot rely on lobbies and politicians to do this all for us...This is not about our future, it's about [Gen Z's], and they have no future unless we act."

Welcome to AFGHAN DISPATCHES 07 with DIVA PATANG (https://twitter.com/DivaPatang?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor) and ChromeRadio's CATRIONA OLIPHANT (https://chromemedia.co.uk/). On 22 June 2022, eastern Afghanistan was hit by the deadliest earthquake in two decades. Already in the grips of a deepening humanitarian crisis, the country is now struggling – with the help of international agencies - to provide disaster relief to the region. But the Afghan economy is verging on collapse as a result of sanctions and the freezing of the country's overseas assets following the Taliban takeover last August. Compounding this is the Taliban's gradual exclusion of women from the country's workforce: women represent nearly 50% of the country's population and before the Taliban takeover last August made a significant contribution to its economy. In this podcast, we explore the impact of the Taliban's restrictions on women for the country's economy and for society more generally. We begin with the importance of education for women. When Diva and I last spoke, it was shortly after the Taliban had suddenly reversed its decision to reopen girls' secondary schools and those schools remain closed today. Diva had planned to sponsor girls in the area where her family are from with the essentials for going to school. I began by asking her how the Taliban's decision not to reopen girls' secondary schools had affected her plans.

Welcome to #STANDINGwithUKRAINE, a new podcast series from CHROMERADIO, with me Catriona Oliphant. Today, we are in BERLIN. On 24 February 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine. By the time I arrived in Berlin in late March, waves of refugees from Ukraine had been flooding into the city for some time. They found a warm welcome. Berliners had mobilised themselves to stand firmly with Ukraine. The blue and yellow of the Ukrainian flag was everywhere – flying from buildings in the glorious sunshine beneath the blue Berlin sky, on hoardings, and in shop windows. Berlin's Central Station – the Hauptbahnhof – is at the heart of the city's refugee welcome effort. I spoke to a couple of those involved in supporting the exhausted, disoriented refugees who arrive daily from Central and Eastern Europe.

Welcome to AFGHAN DISPATCHES 06 with DIVA PATANG (twitter.com/DivaPatang?ref_src=…mp^serp|twgr^author) and ChromeRadio's CATRIONA OLIPHANT (https://chromemedia.co.uk/). Last week in Afghanistan, girls of secondary school age were getting ready to return to the classroom for the first time since the Taliban took over last August. But within hours of arriving at school, they were told to go back home. The Taliban had abruptly changed its mind – at least for now. It's not yet clear why. Officially, the Taliban has said that a decision still needs to be made on the appropriate uniform for female students. But there is also a shortage of teachers – and with segregated classes, schools will need more teachers than before the Taliban takeover. We will discuss this backtracking by the Taliban in our next podcast, but when I last spoke to Diva, secondary schools for girls were still due to open and she was hopeful that the Taliban understood the importance of education – for girls as well as boys - for Afghanistan's future. One of the reasons for her optimism was a photograph that had been doing the rounds on social media.

Welcome to AFGHAN DISPATCHES 05 with Professor Sir HEW STRACHAN, School of International Relations, UNIVERSITY OF ST ANDREWS (https://www.st-andrews.ac.uk/international-relations/people/shfas) and ChromeRadio's CATRIONA OLIPHANT (https://chromemedia.co.uk/). In this episode, HEW STRACHAN reflects on the fall of Afghanistan to the Taliban in August 2021, why the West should have seen it coming, and the implications of the US withdrawal from Afghanistan for NATO's European allies. US foreign policy is now focused mainly on China and the threat in the Asia Pacific. European allies of NATO will need to decide where their own interests lie. A decision which the simmering stand-off with Russia on Ukraine's borders has brought into sharp focus.

For London-born AUSCHWITZ survivor LEON GREENMAN it was after the HOLOCAUST that he said his nightmare really began. Every day was an agonising struggle for survival. To mark HOLOCAUST MEMORIAL DAY 2022, the UCL CENTRE FOR HOLOCAUST EDUCATION, has created a podcast reflecting on Leon's life and work, and the daily trauma of his survival. Leon passed away in 2008 at the grand age of 97. RUTH-ANNE LENGA, Associate Professor (Teaching) and Programme Director, UCL CENTRE FOR HOLOCAUST EDUCATION, was privileged to be with him at that moment. Ruth-Anne's long friendship with Leon gave her – and in turn the Centre – a rare insight into how he lived with the trauma of the past and what drove him to become a force for good despite the suffering he had endured. Leon's mission was to bear witness so that atrocities, such as the Holocaust, would never happen again. He spoke to thousands and thousands of people, especially young people, over his lifetime, and his testimony and humour shaped many of their lives. He also spoke to many teachers-in-training at the INSTITUTE OF EDUCATION (IOE) - UCL'S FACULTY OF EDUCATION AND SOCIETY, and the experience left a lasting impression that has stayed with them through their careers.

Welcome to AFGHAN DISPATCHES 04 with DIVA PATANG (twitter.com/DivaPatang?ref_src=…mp^serp|twgr^author) and ChromeRadio's CATRIONA OLIPHANT (chromemedia.co.uk/). It is now four months since Kabul fell to the Taliban. The fighting and the suicide bombings have diminished. But hunger now stalks the country. With jobs disappearing and salaries going unpaid, Afghans are struggling to feed their families.

Welcome to AFGHAN DISPATCHES 03 with DIVA PATANG (twitter.com/DivaPatang?ref_src=…mp^serp|twgr^author) and ChromeRadio's CATRIONA OLIPHANT (https://chromemedia.co.uk/). September 2021 marked the 20th anniversary of 9/11 when Al-Qaeda suicide bombers flew hijacked planes into the World Trade Center in New York. In response the Bush administration announced a War on Terror. This was to be the beginning of a 20-year engagement by the US and NATO in Afghanistan. In this episode, Diva recalls the 9/11 attacks and the impact of war on her own family. She wonders if today's Taliban will be able to prove that they really have changed from the hardline Taliban of old.

We recorded the first podcast in this series shortly before the terror attack outside Kabul airport on 26 August 2021. In this episode, Diva recalls the day of that terror attack. She speaks about Afghans' fear of a new civil war and their desire for peace and unity. She also talks about blazing a trail as one of the first women to present cricket coverage for Radio Television Afghanistan (RTA) and enabling women to experience cricket live.

Welcome to AFGHAN DISPATCHES with ChromeRadio's CATRIONA OLIPHANT (https://chromemedia.co.uk/) and television presenter and business woman DIVA PATANG (https://twitter.com/DivaPatang?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor). It has been heartrending following the news coming out of Afghanistan over the past few weeks, and yesterday's terror attacks outside a packed Kabul Airport – crowded with people trying to leave the country - marks a disturbing escalation in the violence. In AFGHAN DISPATCHES, we will follow events as they unfold. When CATRIONA OLIPHANTI visited Afghanistan in 2016 for the FINANCIAL TIMES (https://www.ft.com/content/0d05fb5e-fb1f-4b96-9b3d-50ae521a60ec) and again, on her own account, in 2019, the Afghans she spoke to were hopeful for the future. Life had improved for many since the overthrow of the Taliban in 2001, and there had been real progress as regards women's rights. But they were realistic about the ongoing challenges – corruption, terror attacks, criminal activity – and knew that it would take time, and ongoing Western support, to build a strong civil society. Now uncertainty lies ahead. Afghans are fearful for the future. Nobody yet knows what kind of regime this Taliban will put in place, and in particular what that regime will mean for women.

Known affectionately to many of those he commanded as ‘Uncle Bill', FIELD MARSHAL VISCOUNT SLIM is widely regarded as ‘a soldier's general', but he was just as effective in managing relationships with those alongside and above him, as military historian ROBERT LYMAN illustrates in this podcast. In 2011, a NATIONAL ARMY MUSEUM poll ranked him, jointly with the Duke of Wellington, as BRITAIN's GREATEST GENERAL. But despite his outstanding leadership of the 14th Army in the Burma Campaign, and his later appointment as Chief of the Imperial General Staff (CIGS), he is much less well known outside of military historical circles than, for example, his immediate predecessor as CIGS, VISCOUNT MONTGOMERY OF ALAMEIN. This podcast was commissioned by THE GURKHA MUSEUM to complement an online exhibition on SLIM AND HIS LEADERSHIP LEGACY. Visit the MUSEUM'S website www.Thegurkhamuseum.co.uk to find out more about the history and heritage of this unique fighting force that has loyally served Great Britain for over 200 years. DR ROBERT LYMAN FRHistS is a writer and historian. He has published widely on the Second World War in Europe, North Africa and Asia and is Field Marshal Bill Slim's military biographer. His presentation of the case for Slim won a NATIONAL MUSEUM ARMY DEBATE in 2011 for BRITAIN'S GREATEST GENERAL and his case for Kohima/Imphal won a National Army Museum debate in 2013 for Britain's Greatest Battle. His new account of the Burma Campaign, A WAR OF EMPIRES, is being published in November 2021. https://robertlyman.com/ ARCHIVE AUDIO | General Slim speaks at 14th Army Reunion, Royal Albert Hall, 1947 – licensed courtesy of British Pathé.

On 15 August 1945, the surrender of Japan finally brought the Second World War to an end. War in Europe had ended a few months earlier, in May 1945, but in the jungles of Burma bitter fighting continued. The Burma campaign was one of the longest of the War, lasting over three and a half years. The Gurkhas, with their expertise in jungle warfare, played an important role. To mark VJ Day 75, the ROYAL BRITISH LEGION working with the GURKHA MUSEUM and the ROYAL GURKHA RIFLES created this podcast and accompanying film (https://vimeo.com/showcase/6966586/video/448044440) to tell the Gurkha story of the Burma campaign in the words of those who were there.

THE COAT CUPBOARD COLLECTIVE presents AT THE FIRST STROKE, STEPHEN CRITCHLOW's uplifting and often hilarious account of his extraordinary recovery from a serious stroke earlier this year while in rehearsals for ALONE IN BERLIN at the Royal and Derngate in Northampton. With contributions from RACHEL ATKINS, DAVID HOLT, CHRIS PAVLO and DAVID SARGENT. Especial thanks to NAXOS for its generous licensing of the CRUSH COLLISION MARCH by SCOTT JOPLIN. A WORD FROM STEPHEN In January of this year, I had a stroke and spent time at Northampton General Hospital and University Hospital Lewisham. While in hospital, I experienced first-hand the hard work and pressure facing NHS workers. When I was back home, a writer friend of mine came to visit me. He suggested I write an account of my time in hospital. This could have a therapeutic effect, he told me, and it has. I also wanted to give something back to our amazing NHS, all those people who come from every part of the globe, who work hard and care for us, when we can't care for ourselves. I have therefore recorded as honestly as I can the journey of a stroke victim, some of my meetings with staff and patients along the way, and the humour and humanity I found on the hospital wards. If you have enjoyed this podcast and would like to show your appreciation of the NHS, please visit www.justgiving.com/fundraising/atthefirststroke, where I am raising money for NHS CHARITIES TOGETHER, and give whatever you feel you can afford. STEPHEN CRITCHLOW has been a professional actor for over 30 years and a member of the BBC Radio Drama Company no less than five times. Stage credits include Sir Peter Hall's HAMLET (Gielgud), Ray Cooney's PYGMALION (Albery), three years in THE THIRTY-NINE STEPS (Criterion), and CYRANO DE BERGERAC at the Royal National Theatre. Stephen has toured in many productions, including ROUND THE HORNE REVISITED (in which he played Kenneth Horne), and recently THIS HOUSE for Headlong and THE REMAINS OF THE DAY for Out of Joint. His many TV and film credits include, DOWNTON ABBEY, MIRANDA, SKINS, CIDER WITH ROSIE, RED DWARF 11, HATTIE, FANTABULOZA, THE PRINCE AND THE PAUPER, LITTLE LORD FAUNTLEROY and CHURCHILL: THE HOLLYWOOD YEARS. RACHEL ATKINS' recent theatre work includes, THE COUNTRY GIRLS (Minerva Chichester), INKHEART and ROMEO AND JULIET (Home Theatre Manchester). For television, she has appeared in CHERNOBYL, THE ROOK, HUMANS, and CALL THE MIDWIFE, and films include THE LAST LETTER FROM YOUR LOVER and THE COUNTRY GIRL. Rachel has been a member of the BBC Radio Drama Company several times and was a regular in THE ARCHERS. She has recorded numerous audiobooks as well as voice overs for video games. DAVID HOLT studied theatre arts in Birmingham in the late 1980s, then moved London to pursue a career as a versatile actor in TV, film, theatre, radio, and as a voice artist. He has appeared in countless productions of all types over a 30+ year career, and is renowned for his animation voice work, having appeared in over 90 animated TV series. CHRIS PAVLO has worked extensively in the voice world. He has enjoyed four seasons with the BBC Radio Drama Company, with credits ranging from THE ARCHERS to news-based comedy THE WAY IT IS.
