It's a busy one. My guests this episode are Sunderland's David and Peter Brewis, known collectively as Field Music, and Walter Schreifels of New York post-hardcore rockers Rival Schools. You may remember David Brewis from Field Music has been on the podcast before. I've been a fan of the band since 2007's magnificent “Tones Of Town” album. Depending on how you count it, “Limits Of Language” is their 9th, 10th, or 11th studio album, in addition to numerous side projects and offshoots. However you count it, “Limits Of Language” is a very fine album, and as usual, deserves a much wider audience than they tend to get, despite a bizarre and wonderful endorsement from Prince on his Twitter feed in 2015. It was lovely to have both Brewis brothers together on the show. Rival Schools are a New York part-time supergroup made up members of 80s and 90s hardcore bands, not a scene I'm into really, but the band's two albums, 2001's “United By Fate” and 2011's “Pedals” are really melodic and accessible, even for more of an indie-rock kid like me. The band are celebrating their 25th anniversary and have been reissuing their back catalogue on vinyl. Walter caught up me from a room on tour in Minneapolis, and I was impressed with the thoughtfulness and depth of some of his answers. Enjoy! Instagram: @sendingsignalspodcast

Jason Bahamundi and I are officially doing “Food Fight Friday at the Aid Station” twice a month now, and I'm going to post these segments properly on my side as well. This episode I get to bring the food choices to Jason, and as I did last time, I've stayed north of the border for my inspiration For those who haven't caught it yet, Jason and I have to decide whether we will carry, toss, or eat three food choices.Today, Adam presented three choices to Jason. The three options are all based out of Newfoundland and are:1- Fish and Brewis: this dish is made with salt cod and hard tack (bread) along with scrunchions (salted pork)2- Fries, Dressing and Gravy: a dish that is equivalent to leftover American Thanksgiving with French Fries instead of turkey.3- Newfoundland Snowballs: soft chocolate fudgeballs made with sugar, melted butter, milk, oats, coconut and coconut oil.What did Jason decide and which would you eat, carry or toss?You will be able to download these as podcasts as well, so you can take this in through video or audio, whatever your preference.

In our first in-conversation episode, Darren is joined by film-makers Lisa Selby and Rebecca Lloyd Evans, creators of the powerful documentary, Blue Bag Life, which has been captivating audiences and taking the festival circuit by storm. Blue Bag Life is a deeply moving and visually stunning film that explores the profound effects of addiction on both those who suffer from it and the loved ones who support them. In addition, we welcome academic Gavin Brewis to the discussion, who shares insights from his groundbreaking PhD research on generational trauma in working-class youth culture. Recently, his research gained widespread attention after being reported by STV, whose media framing of the issue erred on the side of sensationalism. Join us as we dive deeper into these crucial topics and shed light on the true stories behind the headlines. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Charles finally gets to report on his experience at the Martin Creed exhibition at the Mercer Gallery in Harrogate. Graham shares an update on his return to his Vinyl Sessions music talks in a fundraiser for the Harrogate Hospital charity and lays bare his theories about the end of The Beatles in 1969/70. He also reports on a sublime gig by the David Brewis Orchestra in Leeds performing The Soft Struggles album at Leeds Grand 's Assembly Room - David Brewis being one half of the acclaimed Field Music a venue that Charles argues has come into its own. Charles introduces the new musical theatre production based on the 1989 cult film, Heathers, reckoning that its resonance is even stronger now than when the film was originally made.
In a whistle-stop tour of everything cultural, Charles reports on David Hockney's Yorkshire Wolds exhibition at Salt's Mill; Graham gives an update on where things are at for the Edinburgh International Film Festival and both Graham and Charles give their verdict on the key films at the Oscars ceremony. Graham provides further thoughts on Quentin Tarantino's excellent book on film and the latest release from Field Music's David Brewis.
Has lovely unconfidence...
Dealing with a serious or chronic health condition is hard enough — but what happens when that condition comes with moral judgment? That's the case for millions of people around the world. From obesity to lung cancer, sexually transmitted diseases to mental illness, stigmatized conditions are shrouded in shame and blame that can not only hinder treatment — but ruin lives. On this episode, we explore stigmatized health conditions — how they earn their reputations, affect the lives of patients, and complicate efforts to treat them. We hear about the flawed effort to track down the origin of the HIV epidemic in the U.S. that inadvertently introduced a new term into our language. We explore what researchers say is behind the “blame and shame” game in public health, and we find out why a man diagnosed with antisocial personality disorder says his condition isn't always as scary as people think. Also heard on this week's episode: Harvard obesity researcher and physician Fatima Cody Stanford talks about her campaign to change the way doctors interact — and sometimes judge — patients based on their weight. Biocultural/medical anthropologist Alex Brewis discusses her research on stigmatized health conditions — why we judge certain illnesses, what that stigma does to patients, and how it hinders global public health efforts. Brewis has co-authored a book called “Lazy, Crazy, and Disgusting: Stigma and the Undoing of Global Health.” If there's one condition that seems to deserve its bad reputation, it's psychopathy — the turbocharged version of a personality disorder that's associated with violent crime, manipulation, and a chilling lack of remorse. But are psychopaths really as different as we think? Reporter Liz Tung talks with “Paul,” who has been diagnosed with antisocial personality disorder, about his rocky life journey.

The menopause is a normal part of the human lifecycle for approximately 50% of the population, but all too often those experiencing the menopause are left unsupported by both their employers and society more broadly. Yet this should not be case: simple steps can help to make a huge difference for those experiencing this entirely natural and normal process. Jo Brewis is Professor of People and Organisations in The Faculty of Business & Law at the Open University Business School. Her research interests fall into two broad categories. First is the intersection between the body, sexuality, gender, emotions, identity, organizing and organizations, including publications on menopause transition and women's economic participation and methodological considerations in organization studies deploying queer theory. The second is academic practices in organization studies research, including publications on research ethics and peer review. In addition to this, Jo is the co-author of the 2017 UK government report The effects of menopause transition on women's economic participation in the UK. As an independent panel member for Menopause Friendly Accreditation amongst other activities, she works to further the menopause in the workplace agenda.

Another exciting instalment of Sending Signals is here! This week I talk to David Marks about his time in The Beach Boys. David was only about 12 when he joined the band, and grew up across the street from the Wilson brothers. I get David’s take on whether Brian Wilson is being exploited, whether Mike Love gets a bad rap, and the truth about the guitar stabs on “Don’t Worry Baby”. My other guest is David Brewis from one of Britain’s finest bands Field Music. I’ve loved this band for a long time, and David is such nice company. Their latest album “Flat White Moon” is out now and it’s predictably great. Unfortunately the circumstances that inspired the album were less than great, and David and I have a candid conversation about loss and the nature of memory. It’s a good one. davidleemarks.comfield-music.co.ukTwitter: @signalspodcastInstagram: @sendingsignalspodcast

Script Apart is a podcast about the first-draft secrets behind great movies. Each episode, the screenwriter behind a beloved film shares with us their initial screenplay for that movie. We then talk through what changed, what didn’t and why on its journey to the big screen. All proceeds go to Black Minds Matter UK, the NHS Charities Covid-19 Appeal and the Film and TV Charity.In our first episode, host Al Horner chats to Joe Cornish about his 2011 sci-fi comedy Attack The Block. Joe tells us about how he wanted his script to challenge preconceptions about young (predominantly Black) teenagers living on council estates, the film's abandoned title, a slightly alternative ending and why he inserted more Brewis into his screenplay after this first attempt. We also discuss trips to buy weed with Louis Theroux, the power of John Boyega's recent Black Lives Matter London rally speech and the possibility of an Attack The Block sequel.Script Apart is hosted by Al Horner and produced by Kamil Dymek, with music from Stefan Bindley-Taylor.

Well, we were going to talk menstrual stigma, but then the pandemic happened. Join me and Drs. Amber Wutich and Alex Brewis as we talk about stigma - what it is, how it affects people, and its repercussions on health. Race is playing a significant role in how stigma is laying on people through this pandemic - first through where this novel coronavirus originated, and then through who seems to have the worse health outcomes. Race-related stigma is allowing us to scapegoat certain groups, which has profound consequences for how we handle this disease and help those who are most affected. Please be sure to check out more from Drs. Wutich and Brewis through their new book, Lazy, Crazy, and Disgusting: Stigma and the Undoing of Global Health (there's even a coupon code if you click the link!). They also have a fabulous blog, Diagnosis: Human, and recent posts elaborate on the things we talk about in this episode.

As Mackie’s Corner closed for redevelopment as a commercial property, we held a last hurrah with an ArtyParti Celebration; celebrating its use as a pop-up arts exhibition hub, and looking ahead to the future. LAURA BREWIS - Creative Producer, Sunderland Culture: "Sunderland sort of has all the raw ingredients to be an amazing creative city. It needs some help sort of galvanising those things together. Mackie's Corner has been really successful. We've had people through the building. It's made people see what this space could be used for." SARAH CARR - Manager, Sunderland Heritage Action Zone: "It's a project that is really driven by a really strong partnership, animating those spaces and just bringing people into historic buildings that would've just been empty until work start in terms of restorations." DR. LOES VELDPAUS - Senior Research Associate, Newcastle University School of Architecture, Planning & Landscape: "People are just interested in the exhibition, but actually walking into the building. And it starts a conversation, which I think is an important one to have with people in the neighbourhood and the city, to come together and make this stuff happen."

More on gender, tokenism, sexuality, and all things different in organizations! Join us and our Special Guest Dr Deborah Brewis for the conclusion of Episode 17 on “Some Effects of Proportions on Group Life: Skewed Sex Ratios and Responses to Token Women” (1977) by Rosabeth Moss Kanter!
In this episode we are joined by Dr Deborah Brewis to discuss a classic paper by Rosabeth Moss Kanter on gender in organizations - “Some Effects of Proportions on Group Life: Skewed Sex Ratios and Responses to Token Women” (1977). In this article, Kanter explores how interactions within a group or an organization are affected by the different numbers of people from distinct social types. In particular, she focuses on groups with skewed gender ratios: a high proportion of men and a small number of women – the tokens. The study is based on observations and interviews with sales teams that recently began to incorporate women in their workforce, and shows how structural factors stifled the potential of their female members.We discuss challenges of gender integration, the theoretical underpinnings of Kanter’s framework and the relevance of the concept of tokenism in contemporary research and practice, among other things.
