In this week's episode Edwina explores the often unspoken impact of menopause on women's lives. Despite the fact that 51% of the population will experience menopause, and the estimated 13 million people who are currently peri or menopausal in the UK, this topic has remained taboo. Edwina speaks to two advocates driving change in the national conversation around menopause on their experience of this transition, and what needs to change to ensure more women have access to the support they need – including those in the justice system. Edwina's first guest is Davina McCall, renowned TV presenter and household name. As well as presenting shows such as Big Brother and The Million Pound Drop, Davina has presented documentaries exploring the Menopause. She is also the author of Menopausing, The Positive Roadmap to Your Second Spring which seeks to debunk myths, and breaks the shameful silence over the menopause. Edwina's second guest is Carolyn Harris, MP for Swansea East who established and now chairs the all-party parliamentary group (APPG) on menopause. Carolyn has played a pivotal role in putting menopause on the national agenda, and has recently published an inquiry into the impacts of Menopause on women and families as part of her work for the APPG on menopause.

Last month, Buckingham Palace broke the news that Queen Elizabeth II had passed away at Balmoral Castle in Scotland. The queen was 96, and Canada's longest serving monarch. Now, Canada has a new head of state: Queen Elizabeth's eldest son, King Charles III. This week on rabble radio, editor Nick Seebruch interviews royal historian, teacher, and author Carolyn Harris. While the Pope made a public apology for the Catholic Church's role in residential schools, Indigenous peoples never got an apology from Queen Elizabeth II before her passing. Might the new King Charles III make that apology? And how might a new sovereign leader might affect public opinion of the monarchy in Canada? Harris ponders these questions and more with Seebruch this week. Dr. Carolyn Harris is an instructor in history at the University of Toronto School of Continuing Studies. She received her PhD in European history from Queen's University at Kingston in 2012.

Queen Elizabeth took the throne at the age 25, and stayed there through seven decades, 15 British prime ministers and the longest reign in U.K. history. From the earliest days as Queen, Elizabeth grappled with the British Empire transforming into a Commonwealth with more self-determined nations. But in more recent years, the Queen also ruled through the death of Princess Diana, numerous royal family scandals, and political upheaval like Brexit. Today, royal historian Carolyn Harris gives us a look back at how the Queen dealt with a colonial legacy, and a look forward at how the monarchy could change without her.

Fourteen years ago this week, 21-year old British student Meredith Kercher was sexually assaulted and killed in a brutal attack in her apartment in the Italian city of Perugia. Her death was a shocking and unimaginable loss to her family. But sadly her name did not become the most memorable in the murder investigation that followed. As the world's media descended, a narrative quickly emerged around Amanda Knox - Meredith's American flatmate - and her then boyfriend Rafaele Sollecito. Dubbed 'Foxy Knoxy', the story became about a sexually voracious femme fatale and her accomplice, who it was said killed Meredith in a drug-fuelled sex game gone wrong. After being found guilty and serving four years in prison, Amanda was fully exonerated by the Italian Supreme Court on appeal in 2015. Amanda now lives back in Seattle, is married, and has just had a baby - having built a career as a writer, podcaster, and campaigner against wrongful conviction. In an exclusive interview with Woman's Hour and Newsnight, Amanda Knox talks to Emma about trying to restore her reputation, losing control of her identity, and speaking out about the film Stillwater starring Matt Damon, which she says drew on and profited from her story without her consent. The cost of repeat prescriptions for hormone replacement therapy in England is to be significantly reduced. The Labour MP for Swansea East, Carolyn Harris, had put forward a Bill to make HRT free, as it is currently in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland where there are no charges for prescriptions. Although the Government didn't support the change in full, it announced at the end of last week that women would only have to pay for one prescription charge a year – potentially saving over £200 annually. The Government also announced that they will be setting up a menopause taskforce, which will be co-chaired by Carolyn Harris, who says it is time to revolutionise menopause support. Though best known for playing Rizzo in the film Grease, First Lady Abbey Bartlet in the television series The West Wing, and Julianna Margulies' mother Veronica in The Good Wife, multi-Emmy award-winning actor Stockard Channing is a Broadway veteran nominated for multiple Tonys. Currently on stage at the Hampstead Theatre in London in ‘Night Mother' - a tense two-hander play that takes place over a single evening – she joins Emma to discuss her latest performance and first as a London resident.

Carolyn Harris MP left school at 16, had two children at a young age and worked as a barmaid. Her young son, Martin, was tragically killed in a road accident in 1989 and this changed her life forever. She sank into a black hole for the next few years but turned things around when at 34 she became the first person in her family to go to university. Carolyn never dreamt that 20 years later she would be the MP for her community, Swansea East, and although she continues to experience imposter syndrome regularly, once she has decided to fight for change, she does not give up. Carolyn has campaigned on topics such as child funerals and gambling. She did not realise her collection of health problems were related to the menopause at first, but when she joined the dots and learnt more about the effects of the menopause, especially in the workplace, she set up an All Party Parliamentary Group on menopause and was successful in changing the law in Wales in removing the prescription fee for HRT.

Period Poverty

Pandora's Box: Lifting the Lid on Menstruation

Aine 0:00 This podcast has been produced in partnership with Diva International (makers of the DivaCup) and Media One Creative. This is Pandora's Box: a podcast that is on a mission to uncover how periods affect the lives of those that experience them around the globe. Join us as we travel the world to find real stories by real women and people who menstruate who are championing change and bringing light to the global impact of menstruation. I'm Aine, Cait 0:27 and I'm Cait your hosts.Aine 0:33 People who menstruate around the world that are lacking access to products. In the UK alone, one in 10 people struggle to afford menstrual supplies. Cait, how much do you think you're spending on period products?Cait 0:43 I think I used to spend $20 a month on menstrual products because I always got the kind of fancy comfortable tampons, I think. But since I've been on birth control, an IUD, I don't get my periods very often. So I got those period panties. And I find them to be fantastic. And they were expensive to begin with, but it's a great reusable option. I don't have to spend money anymore.Aine 1:12 I feel the same about the DivaCup. I was thinking about that the other day, I was walking by the tampon aisle and I just thought, "I haven't bought tampons or pads in a year." But it's just the liberation of never having to think about anything. I get my period and I'm like, okay, here's the thing that I use, and it's just there. There's something really, really liberating about that and I just think it's a revolutionary product.Cait 1:35 I can definitely say that when I was a student and walking into the drugstore, I was like, "Oh, I have to spend money on this. I guess I'll take that out of my budget." But it was something I could always afford.Aine 1:48 Whenever I was a student, or whenever I was just started working and was not earning a lot of money, it definitely felt like a big strain on my finances to have to buy menstrual products. So I can't even imagine what it's like to be in a position where you have to choose to buy medical products or to buy food or to buy clothes. Really, over the course of this process in this journey, so many times I've put myself in the shoes of people not being able to afford menstrual products, and I can't imagine how vulnerable that must make them feel not being able to deal with something that you can't stop. It's flowing, it's coming and not being able to control that, that must be so awful. They can't participate. They don't want to go out into society. That must just be a really awful feeling.Cait 2:33 I would think it would be pretty frustrating, too. Because when you think about it, there's toilet paper for free and public washrooms because nobody can control needing to go to the washroom. Like, that's a normal thing you can't stop. It's the exact same thing with periods. It's not like, "Oh, this month, I'm just going to not have it, I'm going to make that choice." So why aren't they giving out free products for periods as well? It would be really frustrating to be like, I don't have money for this. And this is something I have to deal with, but this guy doesn't have to worry about it.Aine 3:08 So that's interesting that you bring that up, because in lot of the studies that we did and a lot of looking into how periods are perceived, a lot of comments have been made by men, that, "Why can't you just hold it in?" Because they think that we can control the flow and that we choose to turn it on, and it's just like a top. I think we watched a video when we doing research and some guy was like, "Girls are just disgusting. Like, can they not hold it in? I don't pee myself. And they're just like, getting blood all over themselves." Like this is an actual thought that people have about periods because they just don't understand the anatomy. And they think that we're just choosing to bleed whenever we feel like it's so pretty shocking.Cait 3:45 To learn more, we sat down with Dawn Butler in London. Dawn is a government champion for those who can't afford period products.Dawn Butler 3:54 Hi, my name is Dawn Butler. I'm the Member of Parliament for Brent Central. I am the opposition spokesperson. So for the Labour Party, I'm the Shadow Secretary of State for Women and Equalities. I used to be a minister under the last Labour Government and I was the first elected black female minister in the UK. Period poverty is almost like phenomenon that's all of a sudden come to light over the last 10 years. It's quite shocking, you know, the sixth richest country in the world, and we've got children, young menstruators who can't go to school because they're on their periods. We've got menstruators who are going to work and using socks instead of towels or cups. And it's quite a shocking thing, because at first you think, "That can't be happening here in the UK." But we've found it's happening more and more often, as people haven't got enough food to eat. They're having to make the decisions on whether to eat, whether to heat their homes, or whether to get menstrual products. It happens everywhere: it happens in the cities, it happens in rural areas, I mean food banks now have started to provide products for people who are menstruating because there was such a need for it.Aine 5:21 After speaking to Dawn, it was really refreshing to hear that there are people focused on fighting period poverty. The more you hear about this issue, the more shocking and frustrating it becomes because you hear about people in impossible situations where they're forced to sit home and just bleed because they cannot get access to the products that they need. We shouldn't have to suffer in silence or just miss out on participating in society because of something that is a bodily function that is just not prioritized at a government level.Cait 5:50 Being born with the ability to menstruate, it shouldn't mean that you don't get to participate and when I've talked to people here in Toronto about how this happens in the Western world, they're totally convinced that it doesn't happen here. But it absolutely is a problem here. There is period poverty and it surprised me how adamant people can be about their idea that it's not a Western world problem at all. After hearing about how period poverty is affecting individuals around the world, we wanted to hear stories from those who have suffered through this crisis. We visited Rachel Krengel to learn more about her story and how she created an organization called Fourth Wave.Rachel Krengel 6:33 And then, what came out of that was that of six lower-middle-class or working-class women, two of us had a personal experience of menstrual poverty that we've never mentioned before. And bear in mind, we're a feminist collective. We talk about our vaginas constantly, but we never ever have shared these stories. There are so many people who are living in really abject poverty but are just managing to hide it because they're juggling, you know, this week we won't buy any food, this week we were buying the menstrual pads, this week we won't turn the heating on. Between it all, we're just about holding together an appearance that we're surviving and not a lot goes on.Aine 7:19 It was at that point that a news article came out reporting that children from Rachel's hometown were regularly missing schools during their periods because they couldn't afford menstrual products.Cait 7:28 Rachel's vision for Fourth Wave is inspiring. Her organization is determined to make a change. It reminded us about something Dawn said on the topic.Dawn Butler 7:37 It shouldn't be the case that you have to worry about something that happens naturally to you that you can't stop. And governments and organizations and societies should ensure that that isn't the case, and that's wherever you go to work, school, university, or prison.Aine 7:58 Dawn isn't the only political figure who believes that menstrual products should be a right, not an expense. We spoke to Danielle Rowley, a Labour Member of Parliament for Midlothian in Scotland, to hear her story.Danielle Rowley 8:09 I'm Danielle Rowley, Labour Member of Parliament for Midlothian in Scotland. Came into parliament and I had a question about period poverty and I happened to be on my period so I decided to sort of contextualize the cost of, you know, periods that a lot of women face by saying that I'm on my period and talking about how much it had cost me. I had no idea of when I said in parliament I was on my period that it was the first time anyone had said that before. And I've discovered it's not only in the UK, but I don't think anyone has said in any parliament that they're on their period before. It's not being talked about enough, you know, so I think a lot of people might not come out and say, "I don't want to discuss that." But they're not making sure it's high up on the agenda. And that's just, you know, shown by the fact that I was the first person who said I was on my period in parliament. If we had debates on it like we should do, because it's such a huge issue, then someone would have said that before. So it's not getting the prominence that it deserves.Cait 9:12 Dawn was actually in parliament with MP Danielle Rowley when she stood up and spoke about her period.Dawn Butler 9:18 MP Danielle, she stood up. She ran in, actually, sort of out of breath for a debate and said, "I'm really sorry. I'm on my period." And there were a few gasps, I think, in the chamber. And remember, it's a chamber that's not used to women in the first place. And I felt like putting my hand up and saying, "I'm on my period too." And I found it quite an empowering moment and it's a situation where we should be able to just talk about it without feeling dehumanized, without being ridiculed. Aine 9:50 Change isn't only happening in the UK. In the U.S., changemakers such as Jennifer Weiss-Wolf are fiercely combating period poverty.Jennifer Weiss-Wolf 9:57 So if the people making the rules aren't people who've experienced menstruation, there's a really good chance they're not even wondering if it's a problem or not. So the combination of the silence, of the shame, of the stigma, with the fact that we do not have a government here in the United States, and I venture to say in most places in the world, where women's needs and women's bodies and women's experiences are elevated and acknowledged, and the laws that we live by viewed through that perspective, you sort of have your perfect storm of menstruation just not being part of the systems that we talk about. And as I'm sure lots of folks have said, that you've talked to, if you don't talk about it, you certainly can't start solving the problem.Cait 10:46 Jennifer brings up an interesting perspective on the need for diverse voices amongst policymakers is the reason that period poverty isn't prominent in government conversations simply because there's a lack of menstrual representation.Aine 10:59 I find this really frustrating, because to me, it seems so obvious that is an issue that should be taken into account, and also that these are products that shouldn't be taxed. So it just seems so obvious to me. But that's because I experienced menstruation. So if there's no representation of people that menstruate in governments, then that has got to be the reason why these policies are being ignored and not given priority at all.Cait 11:29 It's impossible to understand what the policies need to be if you can't understand the experience of menstruation. I find it very frustrating that I don't have somebody to advocate for me with the full knowledge of what it's like to have your period and what the costs associated are and what the barriers are involved in menstruating.Aine 11:51 I think this is an example of gender inequality contributing to further gender inequality. So the fact that there's less women in government is due to gender inequality, and now that's contributing to further gender inequality, because women and people who menstruate are not being given the priority that they deserve in order to get these issues solved. I think the tampon tax is such a clear example of this. If you had somebody who menstruates sitting in the room when they decided that this was a luxury item, they would have said, actually, wait a second. There's nothing luxurious about having a period. It's just something that happens. To help us answer this question, we asked Elissa Stein, a menstrual historian, and familiar voice from episode one.Elissa Stein 12:34 So women only got the right to vote not even 100 years ago, and because of the mindset of hysteria, and emotional imbalance, and women were just intrinsically more frail, because of their uterus and because of menstruation, so many people in the world thought that, you know, in the United States in England, women didn't have the right to vote, because they were not stable enough. And there was a huge political discourse in the United States about whether women should have the right to vote. And for a couple of years, politicians, leaders in the country were coming out making public statements about whether they thought that women should be able to vote or not. So the whole fight about suffragettes wasn't just about the right to vote, it was whether women were strong enough or emotionally capable of voting. So that to why women couldn't have a job outside the home, why a woman couldn't own property, why a woman became her husband's possession when they got married, it's all based on her not being capable of making decisions on your own because she menstruated and that rendered her too emotionally insecure. To function as her own person, she needed to have a man to take care of her and make decisions. In our current political environment, where women are being demonized in many ways, where gender and sexuality are at the top of the list of reasons for hate crimes. This brings menstruation back into a conversation in a different way. What sets men and women apart menstruation. So it's an easy target. It's an easy way for people to belittle, to judge, to tell women that they're not competent.Cait 14:14 Dawn also had an important point on this topic.Dawn Butler 14:18 It's about respecting women and respecting people who menstruate. Because too often, our legislation and policies are all geared towards dehumanizing and devaluing women, and the role that women play in society. And I think this is part of it. This is part of us owning it and saying, "This is what happens. This happens to me and this is what we need to do to make it easier for me to go about my daily business." And so I think we take it from a perspective of empowering. This is an empowering conversation. And it means that, you know, it adds dignity and pride to everybody else that's going through it. Aine 14:58 So if these are the issues the Western world is facing, what's happening in the global south?Cait 15:03 65% of women and girls cannot afford menstrual products in Kenya. A pack of 10 sanitary pads costs just over $1, which is roughly the daily wage of an unskilled laborer. Kenya was actually the first country to promise free menstrual products in school.Aine 15:20 While we were in Kenya, we talked to Esther Passaris, the women's representative for Nairobi, to learn about the country's stance on period products.Esther Passaris 15:28 The discussion on the importance of having sanitary towels given to our girls, and how not having it impacted their education, it didn't give them an equal opportunity, started because you had more women in parliament. And then the women were also able to lobby the men because the men understand that their daughters go through this. So the men, I guess, rather than stand in Parliament and oppose it, which would be an embarrassing situation to even discuss it, it was an easy sale. But the thing is, making the budget, you know, allocating budget for women issues, is always a challenge. So it took a while before the president accepted into law, the provision of sanitary towels, and it's still going to take a while before we can actually implement it.Cait 16:19 Despite what people may think, Kenya is progressive in regards to menstrual policy. Sabrina Rubli, who's the founder of Femme International had an interesting take.Sabrina Rubli 16:28 It's just gonna take time. It's one of those issues that even though it's extremely widespread, and so many people have to manage their periods every month, it's going to take time for that to actually turn into concrete changes at the community level and at the very local level where these girls need it the most. But with the growth of Menstrual Hygiene Day, over the last five years, governments are getting involved. The Kenyan government especially has been super progressive. Tanzania's government is also starting that conversation at the higher levels, which is really exciting. And organizations like Femme are going to be here to make sure that they follow up on their promises and maintain that commitment to girls' education. Aine 17:08 It's exciting to hear that shifts are starting to happen. People are taking action against period poverty.Cait 17:14 It's incredibly motivating to see changes being made in the political space, I think it's really important for governments to support people who menstruate. And I think that there's a lot that we can do as citizens to also contribute to this change. I think that reaching out to your representative and really highlighting the issues around period poverty is incredibly important. I think it goes under the radar because nobody talks about them. So it's really difficult as well for your government to address these issues if nobody is talking about them.Aine 17:48 As frustrating as it is that this is still such a huge issue, it is reassuring to see there are so many people who are making noise right now. There are so many changemakers and influencers who are really yelling from the rooftops that this is something that governments need to take notice of this is something that people need to get their heads out of the sand and start dealing with. There are so many people starting public conversations about this, that I feel like it's going to spur on the movement.Cait 18:18 One thing that we learned when we were in Kenya was that a lot of people from the Western world are making reusable pads and then sending them to countries in East Africa. But there are amazing groups in East Africa that are helping women to set up businesses where they make reusable pads and then sell them for a really affordable price to people in their community. And they were saying, "Please don't send us reusable pads. That doesn't help us as much as if you were to send us the materials that you need to make reusable pads." So that specific material that absorbs is really hard to come by, it's much more helpful to send this particular type of material called poly urethane laminate, which they use for the reusable pads as the moisture barrier. Because this allows women to actually sew their own reusable pads and sell them in their community which allows them to get an income and then they can spend that money in their community. And that really grows their community's economic wellbeing. After hearing about Kenya's move on free menstrual products, we were curious if this was a global phenomenon amongst governments. After all, Canada, the U.S. and Scotland have been providing free menstrual products.Aine 19:41 To start off, we talked to Dawn Butler in the UK. Dawn Butler 19:45 What we said as the Labour Party is that once we're in government, we would provide free products in schools, colleges, and homeless shelters. And it's to ensure that anyone who's menstruating have access to products without feeling ashamed without having to miss school and without having to miss work. And so we found the money. And we're dedicated to ensuring that there's products in schools, colleges, universities and homeless shelters. And we're committed to do that on day one of us entering office in government. So the Labor Party at the moment and one of my Shadow Ministers, Carolyn Harris, she's going around giving out these products in prisons, to women who on the street, just to make sure that's one less thing that they have to worry about.Aine 20:39 After speaking to Dawn, we wanted to see what's happening in North America. So in September of 2019, the Toronto District School Board announced they were going to provide free menstrual products for all girls and students that menstruate. This is huge. I mean, this just means that it's eradicating period poverty within schools, which is a lot of the time where girls and students that menstruate are impacted the most because it's affecting their education and their ability to participate.Cait 21:06 So Kenya was actually the first country to get rid of the sales tax on menstrual products. And that happened in 2004. Since then, Australia, Canada, Colombia, India, Ireland, Slovakia, and a few other countries have cut down the taxes on menstrual products.Aine 21:27 So we have this fun little segment of the documentary where we show all of the items that are exempt from sales tax. So there's cowboy boots, Twizzlers, Bibles, Cait 21:39 Fruit Roll-ups,Aine 21:40 gun club memberships, Cait 21:42 Pop Tarts, Aine 21:44 golf club memberships, Cait 21:46 Viagra, Aine 21:46 Rogaine. They're not seen as luxury items, but tampons are. We actually had this very interesting discussion. We were at the Women's March in New York, and we met these guys who were actually protesting the Women's March. And we talked to them about this. And we said, "What do you think about the fact that Viagra is not taxed? Rogaine is not taxed?" And one of the guys said, "Well, that's not men's fault." And we said, "Okay, so periods are a woman's fault." And they were like, "Yeah. Yeah, they are." So that was pretty eye-opening. Next, we spoke with Elissa Stein, to see what the U.S. is doing to combat period poverty.Elissa Stein 22:26 In the past nine years since it came out, the conversation has exploded. In New York City, girls now have access to menstrual products at school, free of charge. This is a necessity of life for women. And it's taxed in so many places, it's being repealed. That's amazing that the conversation is going from beyond the United States to all these different countries where women don't have access to products don't even have conversations about what menstruation is. That people are taking the time and thoughtfulness to educate is profound.Cait 23:03 Hearing from Dawn and Elissa made us think about Kiran Gandhi's story about free bleeding in the London Marathon during our first episode. We were curious to hear her thoughts on the tampon tax.Madame Gandhi 23:14 I think that we live in a world that profits off of women's bodies and bodies in general, taxing something like a tampon as a luxury item in the same way. Viagra, which is actually a luxury item gets taxed is not an equal parallel. And one of the most problematic things that we do in this society is that in order for us to understand women's bodies, men and the society constantly feel the need to identify the male parallel. And so when I ran, I remember so many times people will be like, "Well, that's like a man doing number two when he's running." Or like, "Oh, that's like a man having an ejaculation when he's running." And I'm like, "Actually, it's unlike either of those things, because women have the parallel of those two exact things." And it's okay that there's no parallel of menstruation to men. You don't have to masculinize our bodies in order to understand them. In fact, I think we're a little bit more intelligent than that. And so with this tampon tax, because people parallel it to something that's a false parallel, it gets taxed incorrectly. And it is certainly a necessity. It's a public health necessity. Aine 24:21 It's inspiring to hear the passion that these individuals have to change the way we interact with period products.Cait 24:27 Because a lot of people really want to understand comparable products for men that are like tampons. But somebody made a really interesting point who we talked to, and they said, "Why do you need a comparable product? Not everything is all about men. Women can just have something that's a women's thing, and you don't need to defend it by coming up with a comparison with men."Aine 24:51 I'm going to guess that the tampon tax exists because when it was introduced there, most likely were no people who menstruate around the table. And I would say something that is defined as a luxury is something that we don't need, something that we want. But we need these products. They're not luxury, they're necessity. Definitely representation in governments by all genders is so important because this is just one thing that's being missed and overlooked of course there are other things that only women experience that are not getting enough priority because they're misrepresented in governments.Cait 25:32 To get to the bottom of the issue, when we sat down with Rachel Krengel, we asked her why she thinks premium tampon taxes exist.Rachel Krengel 25:39 The tampon tax is an interesting and complicated issue and a lot of misinformation exists on it. What it really is, it's an issue of political representation because the UK government was given X amount of time to decide what products were going to be tax free when they entered the EU, and at that point, there were very few menstruators in parliament. So who was going to say, "Actually we probably should put menstrual pads and tampons as tax free." Nobody, because the vast majority of people in parliament weren't menstruators and that still remains that there are still considerably less menstruators than non-menstruators in all levels of political representation. It's getting better, but it's getting better slowly.Aine 26:21 In this episode we tackle the period poverty crisis and explored why it is a global issue. We learned why it's happening and what's been done to take action. We talked to multiple women in parliament pushing to make change.Cait 26:33 Period poverty has remained invisible for a long time, but now it's finally beginning to receive the light it deserves.Aine 26:40 Tune into our next episode where you learn about the new products and innovations being created within the menstruation space.Cait 26:47 Also a big thanks to her podcasting team for producing this. This episode was edited by Brittany Nguyen, Alison Osborne and Stephanie Andrews.Aine 27:04 Since recording this podcast, huge progress has been made in the UK. Menstrual products are now available for free in all schools and in 2021, the UK government eradicated the tampon tax. Pandora's Box is also an award-winning feature-length documentary.

The British North American colonies formed some of the most democratic governments in the world. But that doesn't mean that all early Americans were treated equally or allowed to participate in representative government. So who could vote in Early America? Who could participate in representative government? Historians James Kloppenberg, the Charles Warren Professor of History at Harvard University, and Amy Watson, an Assistant Professor of History at the University of Alabama, Birmingham, help us explore who democracy was meant for and how those who lived in colonial British America understood and practiced representative government.

Singer, actor, and philanthropist, ALEX was born the middle child of eight, on September 9th in the quiet town of Manchester, Georgia. Fathered by James Harris, a pastor at the local church, and his mother Carolyn Harris who was a teacher, there were no inclinations of ALEX becoming musically inclined. So, young Harris had limited opportunities to indulge his hunger for rhythm.Their father was quick to notice the talent that his children had and swiftly brought them in to sing at his church. At the age of 7, he was the lead singer of the new family band; the A-Boys, later reinvented as A7, six kids with all their names starting with an A, and the seventh member being the presence of God. With the rise of their success, the brothers began touring the US during the summer when out of school. Although in a band, each brother made academics their top priority throughout high school, college, and even graduate school. After graduating high school, ALEX enrolled at LaGrange College, where he earned his Bachelor of Arts in Human Services and Psychology. He then went on to receive his Master's in Theology and Social Work from Boston University, did an extended graduate study in Adolescent Counseling at Harvard University, and he is currently working on his doctorate in Organizational Leadership at Nova Southeastern University in Florida. Alex is no stranger to the entertainment scene. He started his entertainment career at the tender age of 7 years old, traveling throughout the southeast region with his siblings. As his artistry developed from 7yrs old until now, his audience continues to expand with him as well.

Law is all around us. And the basis of American Law comes not only from our early American past, but from our founding documents. This episode begins our 4th Doing History series. Over the next four episodes, we’ll explore the early American origins of the Bill of Rights as well as the history of the Fourth Amendment. The Fourth Amendment will serve as our case study so we can see where our rights come from and how they developed from the early American past. In this episode we go inside the United States National Archives to investigate the Constitution and Bill of Rights. During our visit we’ll speak with Jessie Kratz, First Historian of the National Archives, and Mary Sarah Bilder, the Founders Professor of Law at Boston College, to better understand our founding documents and the laws they established. Show Notes: https://www.benfranklinsworld.com/259 About the Series Law is all around us. The Doing History: Why the 4th? series uses the Bill of Rights and the Fourth Amendment as case studies to examine where our rights come from and how they developed out of early American knowledge and experiences. It also uses the history of the Bill of Rights and the Fourth Amendment to explore the history of law as a field of study and how this field of study differs from other historical subjects and how historians and lawyers use and view the history of the law differently. The Doing History series explores early American history and how historians work. It is part of Ben Franklin’s World, which is a production of the Omohundro Institute.

Why have mortgage approvals hit a two year high?

The number of mortgages approvals hit a two-year high in July, according to the Bank of England but approvals for first time buyer mortgages remained flat. We look at why it's happening, the problems for young house seekers, the deals that are out there and how to save for a deposit with the help of mortgage broker Rebecca Robertson, the Director of Evolution Financial Planning and first time buyer Ashley Agwuncha, who is also one third of money saving bloggers the Money Medics. The charity Samaritans, which offers a listening ear to people in crisis, has entered into a partnership with betting company Paddy Power Betfair - and is being heavily criticised for it. Our reporter Dan Whitworth investigates their relationship. We also hear from John Myers, whose son Ryan had a gambling addiction and took his own life. And from Carolyn Harris, the Labour MP for Swansea East, who is chair of the All Party Parliamentary Group on Gambling Related Harm. Nationwide has doubled the overdraft rate for some of its customers, and it's likely to be only the beginning of changes brought in by all banks and building societies - all part of what the regulator has described as the biggest overhaul of overdrafts for a generation. The changes are aimed at reducing the high cost of credit for some consumers and making it easier for everyone to compare, and perhaps switch between, different providers. But simpler does not always mean cheaper, as Money Box listener Cathy from Hertfordshire tells us. We also hear from debt campaigner and adviser Sara Williams, who runs the website, Debt Camel.
