Michael Harrison For World Radio Day 2024 Summary Radio's history, impact, and future. Michael Harrison discusses World Radio Day, an official UN International Day, which is celebrated on February 13th to honor the iconic ship of radio and its century-long history of informing, educating, and entertaining. Michael Harrison was contacted by UNESCO, the arts arm of the UN, to advise on World Radio Day and has been involved in the celebrations for the last 6 months. Radio's role in informing, educating, and entertaining. Gene (Bean) and Michael discuss radio's informing, educating, and entertaining mission, highlighting radio's global reach and diverse dimensions. The argument is set that radio is an aesthetic that transcends platforms and devices, and that the radio industry needs to understand and protect this aesthetic. Michael believes that the loss of radio stations and networks will leave audio programs as mere items on public utilities, rather than part of a cohesive and defined cathedral of sound. Radio's role in modern culture. Michael Harrison, a longtime radio personality and programmer, believes that radio is still relevant and will continue to evolve. The argument is raised that culture is temporary and generational, and what people consider to be their favorite things are often linked to their upbringing and personal experiences. Radio industry's viability and World Radio Day celebration. Michael, a radio legend, believes radio is still a viable business in local markets despite the financial struggles of big media companies. Michael raps about World Radio Day, plugging his song/message over the radio waves, and encourages listeners to think on World Radio Day 2024. Learn more about your ad choices.

Unveiling the Shadows: A Cold War Conversations Journey with Ian Sanders In the intricate world of Cold War history, Ian Sanders is not just a name; he's the curator of untold stories, the maestro orchestrating narratives from the shadows of espionage, military maneuvers, and everyday life during a tumultuous era. Since 2018, Ian has been the host and producer of the award-winning "Cold War Conversations" podcast, a platform where eyewitnesses of the Cold War share their riveting tales. A Glimpse into the Shadows In a recent interview on Podcast Radio, Ian took center stage to discuss the genesis of his fascination with the Cold War. Growing up in a household of history buffs, Ian's early exposure to museums and historical sites laid the foundation for his interest. His journey into the Cold War's depths started with a focus on military history, and the events such as the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia in 1968 left an indelible mark on his young mind. From Community Radio to Oral Histories Ian's journey into podcasting wasn't a straight path. A stint on a community radio station and a passion for audio paved the way for him to discover the world of oral histories. Inspired by the lack of captured stories from the Cold War era, especially compared to World War II, Ian embarked on a mission to unearth the hidden narratives of an era often shrouded in secrecy. Ordinary People, Extraordinary Stories The beauty of "Cold War Conversations" lies in its diverse range of guests. From soldiers and spies to civilians and astronauts, Ian delves into the experiences of those who lived through the Cold War. However, navigating through classified information requires caution. Some guests, bound by agreements or personal choice, prefer to remain anonymous, adding an extra layer of intrigue to the podcast. Navigating the Shadows of Espionage In the interview, Ian touches upon the covert world of assassination attempts during the Cold War. While he hasn't hosted guests directly involved in such activities, stories like that of Georgi Markov, a Bulgarian journalist assassinated with a poisoned umbrella, showcase the real-life cloak-and-dagger drama of the era. The Perilous Brink of Armageddon Ian sheds light on moments when the world stood on the brink of nuclear catastrophe. Recalling incidents like the Cuban Missile Crisis and false missile warnings, he emphasizes that the Cold War was far from a conflict without consequences. The podcast not only provides historical insights but also draws parallels to the present day, showcasing how echoes of the Cold War persist. Women in the Cold War A notable aspect of Ian's podcast is its commitment to sharing stories of women in the Cold War. Approximately twenty percent of the episodes feature women's perspectives, challenging the stereotypical image of the Cold War as a male-dominated domain filled with tanks and guns. Ian expresses a desire to delve even deeper into this lesser-known side of history. A Tribute to the Untold Ian Sanders, despite his podcast's success and growing listenership, remains humble. He finds the true essence of his work in uncovering stories that have never seen the light of day. For Ian, the gold lies in those moments when a guest reveals something previously undisclosed, adding a new layer to the complex tapestry of Cold War history. Tune In to "Cold War Conversations" For those eager to embark on a journey through the shadows of the Cold War, Ian's podcast awaits. Whether you're a history enthusiast or a newcomer to the era, "Cold War Conversations" promises a captivating exploration of a time marked by tension, intrigue, and untold stories. To catch Ian Sanders' podcast, visit Cold War Conversations, and for a deep dive into the shadows of history, find the episodes wherever you usually get your podcasts. Ian Sanders continues to illuminate the Cold War's mysteries, one conversation at a time. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Listen as Kadeena Cox talks to Sparky about her experience of being challenged on her disability — and how she wants to increase people's awareness and educate people about disability. GB Paralympian (athletics and cycling) Kadeena Cox has won on the biggest stage, striking gold in Tokyo last year and in Rio in 2016 but even she cannot avoid being the target of critics who have questioned what her disability is. Kadeena was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2014 after suffering a stroke. She had previously been an abled bodied athlete but refused to give up on her dreams, becoming the first Briton in 32 years to win gold medals in two different sports at the same Games when she won double gold at the Rio in the T38 400m and C4-5 time trial in cycling. Her disability cannot always be seen and is one of the many less visible impairments or conditions that affects people across the nation. Kadeena Cox is urging people to educate themselves on less visible impairments or conditions after new research from Bupa, which has become ParalympicsGB's official healthcare partner, and disability equality charity Scope found 83% of people with less visible conditions regularly experience a lack of understanding or negative attitudes when accessing public spaces, affecting their mental health. The findings looked at the experiences of people with disabilities, impairments and conditions and found that lack of understanding means the majority of those with less visible conditions have had negative experiences in the past year. Experiences include being challenged on whether someone is disabled or the nature of the disability such as while travelling, shopping, or at an event (71%). Most commonly, this is when using an accessible toilet (37% in the past year), priority seating on public transport (32%) or blue badge parking (25%). Indeed, 76% had also experienced insensitive comments about their disability, while 68% have been told “you don't look disabled”. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Gerry sat down with Steven Bartlett, who is already well-known in the business world for the phenomenal success of Social Chain, the social media marketing agency he co-founded from his bedroom in Manchester after dropping out of university at the age of 21. The company, which was floated on the stock market in 2019, has a current market valuation of more than £300m. The young entrepreneur's personal stock is set to rise even higher when he joins the cast of the hit BBC series Dragon's Den. At 29, he will become the show's the youngest ever investor. Steven is also enjoying huge success as a podcaster, author and speaker. He hosts Europe's most downloaded business podcast The Diary of a CEO and recently saw his debut book Happy Sexy Millionaire become a Sunday Times Bestseller. Earlier this month, Steven was named as a new entrant on the Powerlist 2022, an annual list of the most influential black Britons, ranking alongside Marcus Rashford, Bafta-winner Michaela Coel, actor Daniel Kaluuya and tech pioneer Jacky Wright.
