Those who could benefit most from the legal system are often those least able to access it. As this episode's guest, Stephen Kinsella, notes, "There are only so many cake stalls and jumble sales you can have in a local community, in order to raise funds to pay a lawyer." So that's where his organisation, Law for Change, steps in – as a Community Interest Company that helps provide financial backing and indemnities to cover legal costs for cases with significant societal impact. Join host Becky Annison as she and Stephen discuss the motivations that led him to set up Law for Change and how the organisation selects its cases to carry out its mission. With an eye toward cases that will benefit society, or that could establish or refine important legal principles, the organisation has assisted with cases across a broad spectrum, including on issues such as fracking and police misconduct. More broadly, Stephen talks about current challenges facing the UK legal system, including court backlogs and antiquated systems, and his concerns about a judicial system that relies on philanthropy to fill gaps.

We are playing Against Time And Death. Here's the blurb for the game: Two organisations fight to shape the multiverse in their own image. Their operatives weave their way through all of time and space, making changes throughout the vast swell of history, trying to tip the balance of probabilities in favour of their masters. If either side is victorious, a phase change will roar through the multiverse, perfecting all of reality for one side, making it inimical to the other. It is a total war across all of time and space. You are an operative wholly devoted to one or other of these two organisations. More than that, you are the best, a true virtuoso at manipulating the weave of the multiverse. Your power is immense; you wield it with delicate precision or catastrophic force based on the needs of the mission, and your own inclination. You are about to meet your match.

We are leaving future generations to face more challenges than ever. Yet it can be incredibly difficult for governments to act for the long term when so many of their incentives encourage short-term thinking. In this episode, host Becky Annison chats with Derek Walker, the Future Generations Commissioner for Wales, about how Wales is attempting to solve this problem. Derek explains why Wales passed the Well-being of Future Generations Act, how this pioneering legislation obliges the Welsh government to act for the long term, and whether other nations can follow this example.

"Mind your privilege, give not away your right!" With those words, William Penn urged the jurors in his 1670 religious freedom trial to remember the power and the responsibility of their role in the English judicial system. For this episode, we return to the topic of jury nullification – the power of juries to acquit despite evidence of the defendant's guilt – with a fresh take from the UK. Professor Richard Vogler of the University of Sussex chats with host Becky Annison about the role of jury nullification, going all the way back to William Penn's trial in the 17th century up to its relevance in climate change cases of today. They discuss why legal institutions began viewing juries with more suspicion from the 1970s, and why it's more important than ever to defend the jury's place within our legal system – including its power to nullify convictions. For more on this topic, listen to Janelle Wrigley's conversation with Glenn Reynolds, from the University of Tennessee, about jury nullification in the US (ep.159) – https://pod.fo/e/269d1a.

We are playing The Between by Jason Cordova! The Between is a tabletop roleplaying game about a group of mysterious monster hunters in Victorian-era London. They are residents of a place called Hargrave House, and their job is to investigate and neutralize monstrous threats terrorizing the city—threats that Scotland Yard won't or can't handle themselves. As the story progresses, they become aware of the plans of a Moriarty-style criminal mastermind they will eventually have to face in order to save Queen and country. In this episode: Mr Singh struggles to restrain Lord Henning-Smit at the morgue. Ardent interrogates the ghost, but things get out of control. We complete our item creation. Becky makes an accidental reference to Hairy Maclary. Black Armada Discord We would like to invite our listeners to join the Black Armada discord, where you can hang out with the podcast crew.

In the UK you'll find spectacular beaches and rivers, a nation of wild swimmers and water lovers… and a big pollution problem! Untreated sewage, chemicals and plastic waste are creating a worsening toxic soup. Surfers Against Sewage (https://www.sas.org.uk) has been fighting back for over 30 years – through public campaigns, education programmes and, more recently, an app that lets you check the health status of your favourite swim, surf or sail spot. In this episode, Becky Annison chats to Surfers Against Sewage CEO (and former lawyer) Giles Bristow about the environmental crisis affecting our beaches, rivers, lakes and ponds. The pair also discuss the need for accountability by polluters and water companies, the charity's goals and how it all began.
Melissa Jayne Marada https://www.instagram.com/saint.jayne/ joins Luxa https://linktr.ee/LuxaStrata to share about their new book, The Witch's Workshop and about the power of creating one's own magical tools and materials. Topics discussed include making your own incense and recipes for different types, dying your own magical chords, creating inks and much more, as well as getting into some theory about deconstructing magical operations in order to better understand how they function. We'll ask, “can you talk shit to the gods and still have your operations work?” and discuss the Lunar Occult; and Melissa's online group, Moon Cvlt. Melissa will share thoughts about what it means to organize a magical community in a way that's functional and empowers all involved. Luxa shares listener mail and an update about The Green Mushroom Project and Void House- creating a consent forward magical space for conducting group work both in person and online and investigating the magical and alchemical properties of consent.

In this episode, we dive into the philosophical depths of the legal profession – exploring some of the assumptions underpinning Western legal thought and the implications of such assumptions. So nothing we can't handle. Join host Becky Annison as she talks to Ryan James and Zaneta Sedilekova, the founders of (re)purpose law – a personal development course for lawyers. The trio discuss how legal practices could be harmonised to help tackle the multifaceted crises facing the modern world, and they unravel the mechanistic and anthropocentric mindsets that have long influenced our legal systems. Prepare to learn about the concept of "two-eyed seeing" – which marries Western and Indigenous ways of knowing to forge a path forward that is both holistic and interconnected. As we navigate the complexities of climate and biodiversity risks, The Hearing offers a platform for innovative concepts that aim for a more socially and ecologically just future. This episode might challenge your perspectives and perhaps help guide us all towards a more equitable and sustainable legal landscape.
