UK UnMute

Hi guys, in this final episode of Season 3, we had the pleasure of having 3 of our lovely audience members live on the podcast with us and we had a blast! Plenty of laugh out loud funny moments as we reflected on what was a 'rollercoaster', 'whirlwind' and 'dramatic' season and relived some of our blooper moments. It was so encouraging to hear from our guests the impact that UnMute Now has had on them and the wider community and we thank you for being part of our journey. Special thanks to Resourcing Racial Justice who funded this season, to James Rea of Bohemian Belfast for his invaluable support throughout this season, to all our guests and of course, to you our amazing audience.

Hi guys, in this penultimate episode of season 3, we tackle a very emotive subject - the issue of 'playing the race card'. There were some passionate contributions in this episode and a general consensus that this was probably a topic that needed to be revisited in the future. You may be surprised at some interesting thoughts shared about who really holds the card and how it is played in reality. Have you ever been accused of playing the race card? Have you ever felt unable to speak up about an issue because of fear that you would be accused of playing the race card? We'd love to hear your thoughts and experiences so please do get in touch with us and share. We are also pleased to have had invaluable contributions on this episode from our guests, Nusrat Faizullah and Farzana Khan of Resourcing Racial Justice - the organisation that has funded season 3 of the UnMuteNow podcast. Hear them share about the very important work they've been doing in the area of funding for issues and work that are often overlooked by mainstream funders.

Episode Description: Hi Everyone. Thanks for tuning in and sorry for the late upload. In this episode, we give a shout out to good friends who have shown themselves to be more valuable than money in our pockets, and discuss whether losing track of time when with friends, is a good thing or bad thing. What are your thoughts? Would you see those friends as needy? Would you see them as such good company, you don't care about the time? Do you agree with one member of the audience that friends who know you well, know when it's time to leave? Another audience member asked about reciprocity in friendships. What do you think? Join the conversation and let us know! For this season, we are airing our episodes LIVE on our Facebook page and You Tube channel every Friday at 8pm GMT!

Hi guys, in this festive episode, we discuss the question of what to do with unwanted or unsuitable gifts. Is it ok to re-gift, return or even sell them? Do you feel the pressure to give gifts to others because they gave to you? Do you feel pressure to give 'everybody' you know or are you more selective in your approach? The ladies also discuss the most random gifts they've ever received, with some rather saucy contributions from the audience. With a carol sung by Angela to start and a poem written and read by one of our lovely listeners to end, this is sure to get you in a festive mood. Here's wishing you and yours a wonderful Christmas and happy holidays! #raisingthevolume #unmutenowpodcast Social Media: Twitter- @unmutenow1 Instagram - @unmutenow Facebook- www.facebook.com/unmutenow Youtube: UnMute Now Email: unmutenow1@gmail.com --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/unmutenow-podcast/message

Since the 8th and 9th of April, the La Soufriere volcano on the Caribbean island of St. Vincent & the Grenadines has been erupting consistently. There was an evacuation of over 10,000 people from the Red Zone to a safer part of the island in the Green Zone. However, recurrent eruptions and thick clouds of ash which cover a large portion of the island has traveled as far as St Lucia and Barbados; this has compounded the disastrous effects of the volcano on the people and island itself. The island is also dealing with the current Covid-19 pandemic like the rest of the world and also a recent Dengue fever outbreak. In this special episode, UnMute Now speaks with guests Dr. Rose-Ann Smith who is a Natural Disaster Management Consultant and Lecturer at the University of the West Indies (Mona Campus) and the St. Vincent Consul General in Northern Ireland Dr. Christopher Stange about the impact of this humanitarian crisis on St. Vincent and if there is a way to move forward. ** A very special thank you to Northern Ireland and UK Artist Tanaka X for our new theme music! ** Go follow and check him out on IG @TanakaX and across Social Media!

The ladies engage with two members of the Brown family (Siobhan & Aaron) who took to Facebook during the Lock-down in Northern Ireland to engage friends and strangers in discussions around BLM. Also joining in the discussion, Pastor Owen Crane who leads the Christian Fellowship Church in Northern Ireland. Pastor Crane not only reads from the book of Revelations...but he's had some of his own! Can we explore solutions to the BLM ALM Debate?

*Trigger warning, contains discussion on gender-based violence*  This episode was specially recorded to create awareness of Women's Month in South Africa which is August, as well as speak to the gender-based violence that has unfortunately been increasing in the country. UK UnMute thought it prudent to raise the volume on this issue and have decided to air this episode before the conclusion of our two part BLM discussion- "BLM- Exploring Solutions" which will be aired on Friday 28th, August 2020.

This episode was recorded in Northern Ireland in early July 2020. It was sparked by the BLM movement that spread from the U.S. to our shores here in Northern Ireland. We asked people who say Black Lives Matter to share their responses to those who say "no" All Lives Matter.

Lessons From Lock-Down PT 2 was recorded via Zoom during lock-down in the UK. It continues from PT 1 and wraps up the discussions the ladies had with friends across the globe who were locked-in during the current pandemic. Please excuse any technical hiccups due to internet connection issues. We hope you enjoy and follow!
