Talk Club, set up in a Bristol pub seven years ago, offers a space for men to get together and discuss their mental health. That's something too few of us still do, as shown by the horrible statistic that in the UK, a man dies by suicide roughly every 90 minutes – the length of a football match.With this episode recorded during Men's Health Week, and with the World Cup bringing many men together in a highly emotional state, it seemed an appropriate time to sit down with Gavin Thorpe, one of Talk Club's two founders.The clubs have rapidly expanded, to 150 branches across the country. But with suicide still the biggest killer of UK men under 50, the need to talk remains urgent. Why are we men so reluctant to open up about what's getting us down? Are Talk Club's activities moving the needle? And do young men – far more in touch with emotions than their grandads – offer hope?Content warning – this episode, as you might have guessed, contains discussions of suicide and mental ill health. But it's a great chat, and by no means all doom and gloom – hope you enjoy.The Bristol Cable is Bristol's community-owned cooperative newsroom – fiercely independent journalism that puts people before profit.

The Bristol Hum is a modern acoustic mystery reported by residents across parts of the city of Bristol UK, where a low, persistent droning sound is occasionally heard with no obvious source.Described as a distant engine or industrial vibration, the Hum is most noticeable at night and has sparked debate for years, with suggested causes ranging from distant traffic and industrial activity to infrasound, atmospheric conditions, or even psychological perception effects.Despite investigations, no single explanation has fully accounted for all reports, leaving it as one of the UK's more intriguing contemporary sound phenomena.Find Paratalk.www.paratalkpodcast.comhttps://linktr.ee/paratalkpodcastBuy Me a Coffee.https://www.buymeacoffee.com/paratalkpodBackground Music.The Dark Glow of the Mountains by Chris Zabriskie is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 licence. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Source: http://chriszabriskie.com/darkglow/Artist: http://chriszabriskie.com/Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/paratalk-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

In December the government announced plans to invest £500m in the country's youth services – which were gutted during austerity – and create 50 major new and revitalised youth hubs – including at Docklands in St Paul's. Shockingly this is the first time there has been a national youth strategy in a couple of decades. Our guest today is a man who – like your host Neil – has a long history of working with young people. He's the outspoken Ben Carpenter, founder and CEO of local youth and community organisation Grassroot Communities.The pair reflect on the state of youth services, and whether the government's plans go far enough. We get into the massive new Youth Zone opening in south Bristol this month – what are the pros and cons of these kinds of places? And with young people facing massive challenges from financial insecurity to online harms to knife crime, we ask what services should be there for them in an ideal world.

This week we welcome back to Unpacked Paul Smith. Last time we had him on the show, in 2020, he was in the local news every week as the councillor in charge of Bristol's housing. For most of the last six years he's been out of the public spotlight, but in the last few weeks has been selected to help locals decide how to spend millions of pounds of government money in the place he grew up – Hartcliffe. While he's not lived there for more than 25 years, it's a place he remains passionate about – enough to have written a book, Hartcliffe Betrayed, about how the neighbourhood has been failed by people in power, ever since it was planned after the Second World War.Paul, himself a former local Labour councillor for Hartcliffe, and more recently the CEO of a housing association, now finds himself trying to ensure Hartcliffe doesn't get betrayed again. The programme he'll be leading, Pride in Place, will see £20m invested in the area over 10 years.So why is Paul the right man for the job? How will he ensure that local people get a proper say in how that money – less than it sounds – is put to work? And what would success look like? Sit down and find out, in a hard-hitting and sometimes humorous edition of Bristol Unpacked…The Bristol Cable is Bristol's community-owned cooperative newsroom – fiercely independent journalism that puts people before profit.

This was another live audience recording, hosted once again at the DDD South West conference in Bristol (UK) - two years on from the first live panel we recorded there. I was joined by a panel of speakers, and this time the conversation focused specifically on what AI means for software developers. After introductions, we dug into whether AI is going to take our jobs, how much code we actually still hand-write, whether (and how) we review every line of AI-generated code, what's going to happen to programming languages, and what advice the panel had for developers just starting out.For a full list of show notes, or to add comments, please see the website here

Welcome back after a short break to Bristol Unpacked, and the start of our new season running through until summer. For the first episode we welcome Yassin Mohamud, a Green councillor for Lawrence Hill, the ward that includes Barton Hill, which as well as sitting within the controversion East Bristol Liveable Neighbourhood scheme was the scene of the disastrous Barton House tower block evacuation in 2023. It's a busy, diverse inner-city area where there is always plenty to keep local politicians on their toes. In the week this episode goes live Yassin will be sworn in as Bristol's Lord Mayor – the first in our city to come from the Somali community. While it's mostly a ceremonial role, he's pledged to use to bring people back together and ensure everyone feels listened to. We're keen to hear more about how his background in community work and dealing with difficult issues might help him do that. We'll also get into the importance of his identity, and how his new platform can help challenge anti-immigrant attitudes – which were amplified last year by Reform's West of England mayoral candidate Arron Banks, who accused Bristol's Somalis of being at the forefront of crime.

This week we welcome Lewis Wedlock to discuss his work as a ‘masculinities educator' with young people in schools in Bristol and across the country. In our age of controversial 'hypermasculine' online influencers – perhaps most famously, Andrew Tate – this can be an eye-opening experience, to put it mildly. Of course the ‘manosphere' of which Tate is part has broken massively into the wider consciousness recently. Last year the hard-hitting Netflix drama Adolescence went viral, followed just a few weeks ago by Louis Theroux' documentary Inside the Manosphere. Many people – including Lewis – questioned whether that film should have done more to challenge the men making a fortune out of packaging idealised, unobtainable and sometimes toxic versions of masculinity on social media and podcasts. People outside of that world – and especially parents of boys – can find it both terrifying and bewildering, in terms of its appeal. So this week we're seeking to get into why it's so attractive and what its impact is. We'll ask be exploring what Lewis – who has a book out, called Masculinity in Schools – believes a more positive vision of masculinity can look like.

Psalm 59 doesn't sanitize evil, and neither do we. We start with David's plea, “Rescue me,” and connect it to the kind of headlines that leave families angry, heartsick, and on edge. Then we slow down and do what a biblical worldview demands: pray, read the text, and ask what obedience looks like when the world feels lawless.From there we get specific about Christian marriage. We read Proverbs 31 and talk about why “noble character” is not a vibe, it's a pattern of life shaped by the fear of the Lord. We challenge the way modern culture twists Scripture into permission slips for self-first priorities, and we point husbands and wives back to the steady work of serving God, honoring vows, and protecting kids. If you're searching for practical Christian marriage advice, biblical gender roles, or what Proverbs 31 really means, you'll hear a clear, unapologetic argument for ordered priorities.We also walk through Luke 2 and highlight Mary and Joseph choosing God's will over appearances, plus Simeon's reminder that Jesus brings salvation for all people. The back half turns to leadership and national direction with Proverbs 11:14, a Medal of Honor account of service, and quotes from American presidents on the Bible's influence on rights and law. We close with prayer for families, those who protect us, and a return to God at the center of American life.If this conversation strengthens you, subscribe to the American Soul Podcast, share it with a friend, and leave a five-star review so more people can find it.

Since the dawn of time mystics have prophesised the coming of an ancient amphibian, bestowed with deathray vision and ectoplasmic slime. Emerging from deep within the mystic swamps of Bristol (UK), Froglord arise bringing their powerful blend of sludgy grooves and psychedelic doom. With face melting fuzz and foot stomping riffs, Froglord's reign of amphibious terror has begun. Their sixth full-length album, ‘Lower & Slower', was released on March 4th, 2026. Recorded live in a single studio take, Lower & Slower reimagines six fan favourites from across the band's catalogue in crushing, funeral-paced form. Revisiting tracks such as They Came from Saturn and Green Inferno, culminating in a rendition of Black Sabbath's Iron Man. The release carries a strong charitable focus. Where 100% of digital proceeds and 50% of physical and merch profits will be donated to the Waterfowl & Wetland Trust (WWT), supporting their mission to restore 100,000 hectares of wetlands by 2050. In this interview, we chatted with The Froglord himself, discussing the release and how it came about. We delve into the Froglord lore, the beauty of pigeons and rats, talk about upcoming tour dates, and so much more.

Fear has a way of shrinking your world down to one dark room, so we start where Scripture starts: “Have mercy on me, O God.” Psalm 57 becomes a map for the moment when you need protection, patience, and a place to breathe while the danger passes. We pray for our listeners, our families, our marriages, and for the strength to trust God in both the good days and the crushing ones. From there we get practical about relationships, reading Genesis 2:24–25 and reminding ourselves that marriage advice has to come from God first. Then we step into Luke 1 and sit with Mary's honest question and her steady surrender. Her words challenge us: how often are we truly willing to do whatever God places in front of us, even when it disrupts our plans and raises our fears? We also connect biblical wisdom to public life, reading Proverbs 11 on words that tear a community apart, reflecting on stories that highlight violence and vulnerability, and remembering sacrifice through a Medal of Honor account. To close, we read Patrick Henry's “Give Me Liberty Or Give Me Death” and wrestle with what vigilance, courage, and moral clarity demand in a tense cultural moment. If you're looking for a Christian podcast that blends Bible reading, prayer, marriage encouragement, and faith-and-freedom reflection, this one is for you. Subscribe, share this with a friend, and leave a review so more people can find the show.

This week Unpacked gets into the difficult topic of trauma: what is it, who does it effect and how does it manifest?Our guest is someone who speaks wisely both from a personal and professional perspective, on how trauma, passing through generations, can affect not just individuals but entire communities.Heather Williams is CEO of Knowle West Park, and has spearheaded the organisation through a turbulent time in the south Bristol estate in the aftermath of the tragic murders of young boys Max Dixon and Mason Rist. Coming from across the local postcode divide as a longtime Hartcliffe resident, Heather's approach has been informed by her own 30-year personal journey to break the chains of abuse she experienced as a child. Bringing up her daughter as a young single mother, she became the first member of her family to go to university before moving into community work and then becoming the leader of a local organisation doing vital work around health in its widest sense. In another essential episode, she and Neil get deep into questions of harm, healing, and how people can be empowered to lead their own communities and tell their own stories. Enjoy.

The rooster crowed, and Peter's confidence collapsed. That single sound marks one of the rawest moments in the Gospel of Mark, and we slow down long enough to feel the truth of it: you can love Jesus, know better, and still fail under pressure. We walk through Mark 14 and Peter's denial, not to pile on guilt, but to confront the question so many of us carry in silence: what if God can't forgive what I did?From there, we bring the Bible into everyday life and relationships. We talk about the temptation to “throw people away,” especially the ones closest to us, and why healthy marriage and family life require more than expectations. We lean into Proverbs 5 and the call to rejoice in your spouse, and we push ourselves to reciprocate love with real effort, time, and attention. Forgiveness, repentance, and loyalty aren't abstract ideas, they're daily choices.We also zoom out to history and public life, touching the Munich 1972 tragedy, a Medal of Honor story of courage under fire, and John Quincy Adams on Christianity and America's foundations. Whether you're wrestling with personal sin, trying to protect your marriage, or wondering what faithful duty looks like in a fractured culture, we come back to a line worth remembering: duty is ours, results are God's.If this helped you, subscribe, share the show with a friend, and leave a review so more people can find it.#JohnQuincyAdams#BlackSeptember#DailyScriptureSupport the showThe American Soul Podcasthttps://www.buzzsprout.com/1791934/subscribe Countryside Book Series https://www.amazon.com/Countryside-Book-J-T-Cope-IV-ebook/dp/B00MPIXOB2

Dr Edson Burton wears many different hats, both figuratively and literally. He's a writer, performer, historian, poet, well-dressed man about town, and – as you'll know if you follow his social channels – physical training enthusiast. So who better to wade into one of the thorniest issues of the day: what is our culture, and who does it belong to? In a freewheeling chat with Neil, Edson speaks about his personal experience of moving between worlds: working-class Bedford roots to academic institutions; Radio 4 to grassroots venues; poetry to dancefloors. Rather than “cutting himself off” from any part of his life, he describes identity as something we carry — and something that keeps evolving.That applies not only to individuals but also Bristol, and to the wider UK as it wrestles with economic and political changes, the temptation of populism and questions over who we even are as a nation now. With our city vying to become UK City of Culture in 2029, Edson and Neil explore how culture can people can get out of their silos and find the things that unite us. It's an epic chat that Neil admits he'd have happily carried on for another few hours – enjoy.

When you're known as the ‘King of Southmead', how does it feel to be copping abuse on social media from the good people of Bristol?That's the situation that former longtime Bristol Bears lock Joe Joyce, who grew up on the north Bristol estate, has faced this year after it was announced he will return to play rugby in the West Country – for rivals Gloucester. This week, with the Six Nations well underway, Bristol Unpacked is taking one of its periodic forays into the world of sport as Neil – himself a former sports journalist – sits down with Joe to discuss his return from Connacht in Ireland, as he enters the autumn of his career.What's it like as a 32-year-old elite sportsperson to confront the fact that your playing days are numbered? What is Joe planning to do next? And how has rugby changed since he got his breakthrough – both in terms of its ties to the public school system and its famous association with hard drinking?

Universal basic income means the state providing citizens with a bare-bones income that allows them to survive and keep a roof over their head. It's an idea that's been kicking around for decades. But with AI threatening people's jobs and many arguing the benefits system is not fit for purpose, it's seeing renewed interest and Bristol councillors passed a motion calling on the council to ask government for a trial here. This would focus on people in the creative sector – an area that's getting plenty of attention as Bristol bids to be the 2029 UK City of Culture. This week, we're speaking to the Green politician who put forward that motion, Ani Townsend who represents the Bristol Central ward and has worked for decades as a costume designer and milliner (hat maker).So why does it makes sense to give people free money? Why can supporting the arts sector help address class inequalities? And with the Greens riding high in polls, is leader Zack Polanski's brand of ‘eco-populism' is what the left needs in the age of Reform?The Bristol Cable is Bristol's community-owned cooperative newsroom – fiercely independent journalism that puts people before profit.

How does the Labour politician who oversees policing in Avon and Somerset feel about being cancelled by her own party after less than 18 months in office? This week we're talking to Clare Moody, Avon & Somerset's police and crime commissioner (PCC), who beat her Conservative predecessor Mark Shelford by 5,000 votes in 2024, albeit on a low turnout of 23%. In November, as we were finalising the guest booking, policing minister Sarah Jones announced that the Starmer government would be scrapping PCCs, which were set up under the Tories in the 2010s, with a statement calling the role a "failed experiment". The Police Federation, which represents the rank and file, backed the move.In this first Unpacked of 2026, Neil asks Moody about whether her job still matters, and what comes next, about the state of policing nationally and here in Bristol, and about what forces need to do to regain the trust of communities they serve.

Taxing and redistributing wealth to reduce inequality is an idea popular on the left, and is being pushed by some politicians including Green Party leader Zack Polanski. But it's loathed by others who believe people should be able to hang on to what they have, whether that's earned or inherited.This week we're joined by Frances Howe, co-founder of local collective Bristol Redistro, which rather than a top-down tax asks people who have more money than they need to voluntarily chuck some of it into a pot. This is divided up by a panel of locals and given to grassroots organisations. Its most recent funding round helped groups in Knowle West, St Paul's, Hengrove and Hartcliffe as well as others serving marginalised communities across the city. How does this work, and what difference does it make? Why is it different from giving to charity? And with the cost of living biting, why should people be giving up their wealth in the first place? We get into these questions, and more on this latest episode of Unpacked.The Bristol Cable is Bristol's community-owned cooperative newsroom – fiercely independent journalism that puts people before profit.

Bristol North West MP Darren Jones is a man whose political rise has been rapid.From growing up in a Lawrence Weston council flat to representing his home turf as an MP, and since September assuming a new role as Keir Starmer's chief secretary, Jones' story is rooted in Bristol. In this week's episode he talks to Neil about that journey and how his early experiences shaped his politics.But Jones' recent promotion comes as Labour faces plummeting public support in the face of policy flip-flops, challenges from Reform and, from some sections of the electorate, from the Greens and Lib Dems. He's said his role is to “fix government delivery, help improve communications and help change the country”.What does Jones make of Labour's gloomy polling figures and the missteps that have fuelled them? How can the government connect with the public – and why is he turning to YouTube in an attempt to reach younger voters? Tune into the first episode of a new Unpacked season to find out.

In this conversation, Beverly and Jamie discuss their new books, exploring themes of Pauline theology, the concept of 'theology on the run', and the interplay between apocalyptic and pastoral elements in Paul's letters. They delve into the cosmic implications of sin, death, and God's glory, emphasizing the transformative power of the gospel and its relevance to contemporary issues. Jamie Davies (PhD, St Andrews) is Tutor of New Testament and Director of Postgraduate Research at Trinity College, Bristol (UK). His research largely concerns apocalyptic thought in the New Testament and other Second Temple Jewish and Christian literature, with a focus on the letters of Paul and the book of Revelation.Dr. Beverly Roberts Gaventa is Distinguished Professor of Religion in Baylor University's College of Arts and Sciences. She is a graduate of Phillips University (BA), Union Theological Seminary (MDiv) and Duke University (PhD). Dr. Gaventa is one of the leading New Testament scholars in the world who engage in theological and historical interpretation of the Christian Scriptures, particularly the letters of Paul, and has lectured on university and seminary campuses around the world. The author or editor of 14 books, including Our Mother Saint Paul and When in Romans, she also has published more than 70 articles and essays and is currently writing a commentary on Paul's Epistle to the Romans for the New Testament Library Series.

Our guest today is no stranger to the show. Back in 2020, Neil spoke with Helen Godwin when she was a Bristol City Councillor. A lot has changed since then. Not only has the Bristol mayoral role been abolished, but a new Labour government is in power, and Helen Godwin now holds one of the West Country's most important political positions: the Mayor of the West of England Combined Authority (WECA).In May, Helen won the election and has since been settling into her new role. We've brought her back on the show to get the inside scoop on her first few months in office. What has she accomplished, and what challenges has she faced? We unpack what it's really like to be the WECA Mayor.Helen has often described herself as an empathetic and caring leader, a stark contrast to her predecessor, Dan Norris, who was known for his disagreements with local leaders. We explore her plans for building better relationships with local bigwigs and improving morale within the WECA office. What does she think she can realistically achieve during her four-year term?The Bristol Cable is Bristol's community-owned cooperative newsroom - fiercely independent journalism that puts people before profit.

Recorded on 31 July 2025 for ICMDA Webinars.Dr Peter Saunders chairs a webinar with Dr James MagaraChristian character is the true mark of a believer - even more so for medical professionals whose work touches lives deeply. It reflects our identity in Christ and sustains integrity in high-pressure environments.From the beginning, God intended that image and likeness come before dominion; so too, in medicine, competence must be clothed in compassion, humility, and truth. Christian character shapes how we lead, serve, and respond - especially when no one is watching. It is the foundation for trust, resilience, and ethical practice.As Christian medics, our greatest testimony is more than skill, it is Christlike character in every patient interaction and decision we make.Dr James Magara is a dental surgeon and strategic leader with a BDS from Makerere University and an MSc in Dental Prosthetics from the University of Bristol (UK). He leads Jubilee Dental, a multi-location practice with over 30 years of service, and serves as Dean of the Uganda Christian University School of Dentistry.A futurist and leadership trainer, he holds a Doctorate in Strategic Leadership from Regent University and has spoken at leadership forums across three continents. Dr. Magara chairs the Uganda Heart Institute Board and CASTLE Think Tank and is committed to raising healthcare and leadership standards across Africa.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠To listen live to future ICMDA webinars visit⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://icmda.net/resources/webinars/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Trigger Warning: Contains discussions about grooming gangs in the second halfThis week it's another episode of Bristol Unpacked. Islam is back in the firing line of the culture wars, with a new legal definition being drafted by Labour, and the grooming gang scandal very much overlapping with far-right narratives about the religion. We wanted to hone in on this national issue, as it's one having a ripple effect in neighbourhoods across the nation, including in Bristol. Bristol Muslim Cultural Society Director, Rizwan Ahmed, joined Neil to debunk common misconceptions about Islam, and to talk through his mission to strengthen inter-faith community ties through education. Rizwan gives us an insight into the normalcy of life as a British Muslim and answers some of those burning questions many non-Muslims might have: What are the foundations of the faith? What is the deal with Sharia Law? And perhaps most importantly; how can you spot a British Muslim in Mecca?The Bristol Cable is Bristol's community-owned cooperative newsroom - fiercely independent journalism that puts people before profit.

Join Neil Maggs alongside councillor for Hartcliffe and Withywood Kirsty Tate, to talk about class & climate justice in her community. Kirsty is the Climate Action Manager at Heart of BS13, and is a co-author of The Just Transition Declaration which is all about ensuring climate policies are fair for everyone especially those most negatively impacted. This is particularly relevant in Bristol, where controversies like the Clean Air Zone and East Bristol Liveable Neighbourhood have sparked debate topics we've covered on Unpacked before.Hartcliffe has just received £20 million as part of a national government scheme to support communities in driving change. The goal? To ensure ‘left behind' areas are ‘no longer ignored' in the government's own words.

We're going up north – or actually, the north is coming down south to Bristol. You've probably clocked by now that there's been a massive Northern Soul revival in the city, so we thought we'd unpack what it's all about.This week, Neil talks to Levanna McLean and her mum, Eve Arslett. It started when Levanna began doing Northern Soul dances during lockdown. Her mum filmed it, they pushed it out on socials and it blew up. They've featured everywhere: from BBC Radio 4's Women's Hour to the New York Times.They then set up the Bristol Northern Soul club night. It kicked off at The Assembly in Old Market and has recently moved to the Eastville Social Club – an historic working men's club in an Ikea car park.So, why is a scene that started in the sixties taking off in Bristol now with a whole new generation? We try and unpack all of this...Bristol Northern Soul on HeadfirstLevanna McLean

This week we've got the next instalment of Bristol Unpacked for you. Neil managed to get a chat in with our new High Sheriff, Kalpna Woolf. Its one of those mysterious, archaic titles that somehow has stood the test of time, but as Kalpna details, is a world away from its original purpose of enforcing the monarch's will and collecting taxes… Kalpna talks us through her upbringing as a first generation migrant kid in London and the life experiences which led her to this point, as an ambassador of community cohesion across cultural divides. It's a good one, and feels poignant in this current political climate where migrant has become a dirty word.Kalpna founded 91 Ways – an organisation using the power of food to connect Bristol's 91 language communities. She also set up the Be Onboard initiative which aims to diversify boardrooms, making them representative of the communities they serve. She's been a boss at the BBC and a board member for University of the West of England. 

One year into his leadership of Bristol City Council, Green party councillor for Southville Tony Dyer sits down with Neil to talk about it. Is he a Noel type? or a Liam? or a Bonehead? (apparently these are references to a band called Oasis).They touch on the Green Party's internal dynamics, financial hurdles, and the significant political changes occurring within the city, such as the appointment of the new West of England Combined Authority mayor, Labour's Helen Godwin. They unpack some key local issues from the past year, including the controversial East Bristol Liveable Neighbourhood Scheme, Yew Tree Farm and more generally, budget constraints impacting public services. Also, the rising wave of right wing populism and how that might impact Dyer's stomping ground in South Bristol in the years ahead.

With faith in democracy – and in particular in traditional political parties – at a low ebb, in the UK and elsewhere, this week Unpacked wrestles with whether citizens' assemblies offer a chance to rekindle the public's affection. Neil is joined by David Jubb, co-founder and co-director of Citizens In Power, which as its name suggests aims to enable citizens to lead decision-making and shape the future.Citizens' assemblies offer a representative group of people the chance to deliberate on thorny issues – such as abortion or assisted dying – in a much more nuanced way than, for example, the Brexit referendum did. They are meant to provide a safe space for people to respectfully disagree, something that has become harder in our age of polarised opinion, and to find solutions that are acceptable for all.This year, Jubb will be collaborating with Trinity Community Arts and St Paul's Carnival on Citizens for Culture, a West of England-wide project to explore how creative opportunities can be more inclusive and accessible for everyone in the region. How will that work then? Who will be involved? And what would success look like? Tune in for another thought-provoking chat…

In this instalment of Bristol Unpacked, Neil is joined by BBC Politics West editor Pete Simson to unpack the upcoming West of England Combined Authority (WECA) Mayoral election. Simson, a veteran political journalist, offers his expertise and breaks down key aspects of the election, discussing the major candidates, voter engagement strategies, and the complexities of local political dynamics here in Bristol. How do you cover local political content in an engaging way? And what might be the impact of recent scandals and controversies on the WECA election results? Listen on to find out.Politics West

When we talk about barriers to entry and bike packing, so many things come to mind. For many, it's gear. For others, it's about confidence. For many folks, especially women and marginalized genders, it can be about not knowing where to start, not seeing people like you doing the thing and feeling like maybe this world wasn't built with you and mine.On Detours we talk a lot about getting more women into bike packing, but how do we actually do that? What does it take? What does it really take to make someone feel like they belong? Roll Models is one answer.It's a mentorship program started by Athlyn and her co-creator, Cordelia in Bristol UK that pairs women in marginalized genders with more experienced riders. The idea is simple: a mentor and mentee relationship. So folks have someone to ride with, ask questions to, and learn from someone in your corner, which can make all the difference when you're finding your footing in the world of bike packing. In this episode we talk about: How Athlyn's own road into bikepacking: starting on a single-speed bike with a yoga mat strapped to the back rackThe inspiration she found in a mentorship program in British ColumbiaHow Roll Models was built and how it worksThe surprising barriers mentors face, not just menteesHow we can truly create a welcoming environment in the world of bikepackingAnd her big goal for the year: taking on the Highland Trail 550, her first bikepacking raceAs always, thanks to Albion Cycling for supporting the podcast this year.Follow Athlyn on Instagram: @athlynckFollow Roll Models on Instagram: @__rollmodelsFollow Mel on Instagram: @melwwebbFollow Detours on Instagram: @detourspodcastFollow Albion on Instagram: @albion.cycling Hosted on Acast.

In this episode, Dr Elle Wadsworth talks to Dr James Nicholls from the University of Stirling about an opinion paper he co-authored with Professor Geoffrey Hunt on whether pleasure should receive more attention in public health-oriented alcohol research. They discuss what alcohol researchers and public health professionals can learn about ‘intoxication and pleasure' from drug research, the different ways that the pleasure of drinking is made more socially acceptable, and what more research on pleasure could do for policy and practice. · Why public health research has historically not explored the pleasure of alcohol intoxication [01:04]· Why this is an important topic to raise with the public health research community now [02:58]· Clarifying what type of pleasure is most neglected [04:55]· Measuring intoxication as pleasure and recognising the limitations of our methodologies [06:50]· Three broad reasons why additional attention should be paid to intoxication as pleasure [08:46]· What learning more about the pleasure of intoxication means for policy and practice [12:06]· The anticipation of publishing an opinion piece for debate [14:28]About Elle Wadsworth: Elle is an academic fellow with the Society for the Study of Addiction.

The Apocalyptic Paul Booth is a series of episodes dedicated to apocalyptic readings of the apostle Paul's letters. Interviews situate Pauline apocalyptic—a stream of similar interpretations of Paul's writings originating in the work of exegetes like Rudolf Bultmann and Ernst Käsemann—among other interpretations (the Old and New Paul readings, for instance) as well as among Second Temple Jewish apocalyptic literature. Here we interview Jamie Davies (PhD, St Andrews), Tutor of New Testament and Director of Research at Trinity College, Bristol (UK). His research largely concerns apocalyptic thought in the New Testament and other Second Temple Jewish and Christian literature, with a particular focus on the letters and theology of Paul. He is the author of Paul Among the Apocalypses (T&T Clark, 2016), The Apocalyptic Paul: Retrospect and Prospect (Cascade, 2022), and Reading Revelation: A Literary and Theological Commentary (Smyth & Helwys, in press 2023).
