Nie sú tak medzinárodné ani drahé ako Londýn a treba tu rátať s horším počasím aj istou drsnosťou. Manchester a Liverpool sú pre mnohých Slovákov známymi mestami, väčšinou však lákajú ľudí, ktorí sem chodia za prácou. Kamila Šebestová však do Manchestru išla študovať a v novej epizóde cestovateľského Všesvet podcastu hovorí aj o tom, prečo sa túto dvojicu miest na severozápade Anglicka oplatí navštíviť aj ako turista. „Ak máte radi kultúru, hudbu, futbal alebo spoznávanie miest, ktoré nie sú až také komerčné a turistické, severné Anglicko je úžasné,“ opisuje. Kým s Manchestrom sa spájajú kapely ako Oasis či The Smiths, futbalové zápolenie dvoch veľkých klubov a industriálne štvrte, nájdete tam aj modernú štvrť The Quays s budovami britských médií a pobočkou vojnového múzea či romantické kanály Castlefield a množstvo múzeí a galérií. Pôvodne robotnícke štvrte sa dnes menia na študentské oblasti s množstvom barov, secondhandov či kultúrnych centier. Liverpool zase môže turistov nalákať na historické prístavy s námorným múzeom, hudbu legendárnych The Beatles či najvyššiu katedrálu v Británii.

In this episode, we celebrate the importance of accessing green space and consider the historical actions of others and how these actions made it possible for us to enjoy the ability to ramble in the countryside.These conversations were recorded over the Kinder Mass Trespass 90th anniversary weekend in the High Peaks of Derbyshire in Hayfield village hall.I want to thank Joss Underwood from the Tent People, who organised a fantastic pop-up event on the village green in Hayfield and generously introduced me to today's guests, Helen Darby, Dorothy Collins and  Kate Ashbrook. Ninety years ago, members of the young communist league gathered at Kinder Scout here in Derbyshire, to highlight the fact that walkers were denied access to areas of open country. When the group reached the plateau of Kinder Scout, there were violent scuffles with gamekeepers. As a result, six ramblers were arrested. They received jail sentences ranging from two to six months for offences relating to violence involving the keepers.According to the Hayfield Kinder Trespass Group website, this act of civil disobedience was one of the most successful in British history. It arguably led to the passage of the National Parks legislation in 1949[8] and helped pave the way for establishing the Pennine Way and other long-distance footpaths. Walkers' rights to travel through common land and uncultivated upland were eventually protected by the Countryside and Rights of Way Act (CROW Act) of 2000. ReferenceReach Helen Darby  on Instagram @helenlouisedarby or at their website www.helendarbypoetry.com Follow Kate Ashbrook's blog here: https://campaignerkate.wordpress.com/Castlefield viaduct: https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/castlefield-viaductFind out more about the Tent People:  www.thetentpeople.co.ukHayfield Kinder Trespass Group: https://kindertrespass.org.uk/

This special episode has been commissioned by Castlefield Gallery in Manchester, as an extension of their current show, Soft Bodies, which never opened physically due to the lockdown. Megan Snowe and I are both in that show and come together with the writer Raj Parameshwaran to discuss Soft Bodies and all that this theme evokes and its particular relevance at this strange time. As part of this episode we feature a track by Semi Precious, present in Jake Moore's video piece, from the show. The gallery are hoping to open In August. Following this episode there will be a short piece of writing in response to our discussion and it's themes, written by Raj, available at https://www.castlefieldgallery.co.uk/event/upcoming-soft-bodies/. Megan Snowe, Raj Parameswaran and I talk about confusion and low humidity, about being miserable but otherwise fine and about nuptual flying ants. Megan and Raj are in the US, still restricted under Covid 19, and we mention the adjustment to the realisation that this situation is long term, a marathon. Megan gets into her sensuous self portraits questioning how we inhabit non-physical spaces and whether, with the increase in online presence, there can be a sensual element of ourselves online. She talks about her drawings, that feature in the Castlefield exhibition, which are made directly and without planning or intention and created through meditative blending and form finding. We describe these forms, sometimes piercing or entering one another and connect this to undefended human spaces, vulnerable to invisible germs, the virus, and recently police violence. We talk about arousal and disgust and look into megan's 'A Wipe', a sensual celebration of bodily detritus. We delve into some of Raj's short stories, and consider what can safely be removed from the body and what does it become then? We talk about societal body trash and the physical implications of our zoom image, shed all over the web. We talk about phantom limb treatment, healing things from images and Megan's 'ticklish' drawings. We talk about thinking with your mouth, chewing as a trigger and language as sensual. We talk about skinlessness and skin as a haptic canvas. We talk about intimacy and invasion and how to bridge the gaps. We talk about skin shedding and the expansive self. We talk about dirty laughing at your own drawings, picking your nose as a sensory experience, processing zones and the different ways the body can be penetrated. We talk about the limits of signification and the body as a hard limit and celebrate our love and use of language. We talk about the importance of communtity, the spirit of activism and feeling connected and intimate with strangers through protest. With thanks to Gass Pendergast and Helen Wewiora at Castlefield Gallery. And thanks to Jake Moore and Semi Precious for the closing track.

The way in which we choose to invest our money can have a much bigger impact than we might realise. Money can be a force for good, encouraging positive change in the world, as well as being a force for evil; funding distasteful or outright damaging activities. My guest on the podcast today is Olivia Bowen, a Partner in Financial Advice at Castlefield. Olivia is a graduate of Manchester University, joining Castlefield in 1999. As a Partner in their financial advice arm, she's helped clients invest many millions of pounds into ethical investments whilst assisting them to meet their financial and personal objectives. Olivia advises on all aspects of financial planning. She has advanced qualifications in Taxation & Trusts, Investment & Risk and the Financial Planning process. She's also an award winning adviser, as winner of the Personal Finance Society’s Investment Specialist of the Year Award 2017. Olivia has appeared on Channel 4’s award winning investigative current affairs programme Dispatches, BBC’s Rip off Britain and has also been an expert guest on Radio 4’s Moneybox. In our conversation today, we take a deep dive into 'thoughtful investing'. We talk about the difference between screening investment opportunities for negative and positive factors, whether this approach towards investing money increases the level of risk involved, and how investors can get started with a more thoughtful approach. Without further ado, here's my conversation with Olivia Bowen, all about thoughtful investing, in episode 325 of Informed Choice Radio.

Kwong Lee, director of Castlefield Gallery in Manchester, talks about the history of Castlefield Gallery, its place in the Manchester arts ecology, and the implications of the recent Brexit referendum for local arts.

Here’s an old Manchester mixtape that was always in the car stereo. I’m a little fuzzy on when it was finished, probably mid summer 1997 guessing from the tunes in the mix. Following the double update 1.1 / 1.2, I couldn’t wait to get back into the studio and cut up a new set of tracks.I’m still quite proud of this session. The tunes are great: a beautiful summer mix of the classic Sueno Latino, Masters At Work’s groove-bound rework of Brand New Heavies’ Sometimes, fat funky remixes of Shola Ama, Ultra Nate and MK’s Always. The Rosie Gaines track reminds me of DJing at Via Fossa because one of the bouncers always requested it, and in this mix it kicks in beautifully to Sandy B’s much-sampled You Make The World Go Around. We even end with a bit of early euro trance...With this being another studio mix, all the tracks are edited and mixed perfectly. Another labour of love, making the most of weekends and down time in the studio.Update 2.0 – studio mix - Spring / Summer 971 Sueño Latino - Sueño Latino - Express Of Sound Groove Bass Mix2 Mary J Blige - Love Is All We Need - Mark's Needy Vocal3 MC Lyte - Cold Rock A Party - Mousse T Club4 Brand New Heavies - Sometimes - MAW Smooth Mix5 Ultra Nate - Free - RIP Up North Dub6 Shola Ama - You Might Need Somebody - Ill-In-Ton's Club Mix7 Rosie Gaines - Closer Than Close - Mentor Orig8 Sandy B - Make The World Go Around - Deep Dish 9 MK - Always - Visnadi's Extended Real Love Mix10 Club 69 - Let Me Be Your Underwear - Vocal Club Mix11 Brown/Bollard - Turn Me Sweeter - Bootleg W/L12 Duke - So In Love With You - Full Intention Remix13 DJ Quicksilver - Bellissima - Original 12" Cut14 Lost Tribe - The Distant Voices EP: Gamemaster58.1MB | 128kbps | AAC fileGeek speak:I remember beat-matching and recording all the vinyl on to a Nicam video before loading it into Studer’s Dyaxsis software. I’m not sure why, maybe the video was simply the easiest way to get the tunes onto the computer. Vinyl turntables were removed from the com prod studio just before I started working at Key 103 - in fact the station had recently relocated to Castlefield and the new studios only had turntables in the one production studio that Stu Allen used. Somewhere along the line I made a mistake and the first half of the mix is in mono. I can’t remember how this happened but by the time I’d noticed - which was when I was working on track 9, MK’s Always - it was too late. I’d already completed so much, it would have been a mammoth task to start again from scratch. The mono tracks aren’t too noticeable because parts were mastered with some stereo effects and there’s a wicked point in the MK track where the stereo kicks back in. Simple, but really effective. Enjoy!
