We know that our 'democracy' is, in fact, a kleptocracy that is not fit for purpose IF that purpose is the continuation of complex life on earth. The sociopaths who have stolen control show no signs of shifting to something that works, so it's way past time that ordinary people across all walks of life embraced the tools of participatory democracy and wrought the new system that we need - a new House of the People which would, finally, accrue power to those with wisdom and enact governance of, for and by the people and the planet.  To do this, we need people who are intimately aquainted with these tools, who live them, breathe them, find joy and creativity in them and know how to share them in ways ordinary people understand.  Our House is a collective that exists to do exactly this and in today's episode, we're talking to Katy Rubin and Oli Whittington, two of its core team, to find out what it does and how and why - and, crucially, where it could take us if we all jump on board.  Katy Rubin is a Legislative Theatre practitioner and strategist based in the UK. She is founder of The People Act hub for creative civic practice. She works in partnership with local and national governments, advocacy organizations, and community groups to co-create equitable and innovative public policy through participatory processes that are joyful, creative, and inclusive. Katy is also a member of the Our House UK collective, a Senior Fellow with People Powered: Global Hub for Participatory Democracy, and a Senior Atlantic Fellow at London School of Economics, as well as former executive director of Theatre of the Oppressed NYC. Her Legislative Theatre work with the Greater Manchester Combined Authority was awarded the International Observatory of Participatory Democracy's 2022 award for Best Practice in Citizen Participation.Oli Whittington is the initiator and co-lead of Our House, drawing on his background in participatory design and democracy. Oli's work has focused on unpacking and addressing the concentration of power, including leading democratic innovation at Nesta, Shift Design's participation practice, and as a participatory designer in Arup's urban innovation studio.Together, they are working around all four nations of the UK to help bring the tools of participatory democracy to communities of place, purpose and passion.  They are helping to facilitate local participatory processes with a view to creating National Charters for each Nation and then bringing people together to decide whether we want a united Charter for the whole of the UK or remain separate.  To me, creating a governance system that is fit for purpose is absolutely essential to our moving forward through the pinch point of the Great Transition.  If we can't find coherent, constructive, compassionate, courageous ways to work together, we're sunk—and while there might be courageous, compassionate people within the current system, the overall system is not any of these.  So I dearly hope that by the end of this, you'll want to become involved. And if you're listening to this podcast as it goes out on the 16th of July 2025, you should know that there's an online event on the 18th which in an open invitation to anyone, anywhere who wants to start building an open democracy.  Please do sign up, there's a link in the show notes. Our House website https://ourhouseuk.org/Our House Event on 18th July 2025 https://www.eventbrite.com/e/power-to-the-people-shaping-a-peoples-charter-tickets-1415315900959 Movement Mapping https://movementecology.org.uk/2025/04/27/mapping-participatory-democracy-movement.htmlEast Marsh United https://eastmarshunited.org/Legislative Theatre Resource Hub https://www.thepeopleact.org/Charter 88 and the Constitutional Reform Movement https://academic.oup.com/pa/article-abstract/62/4/537/1538934?What we offer: Accidental Gods, Dreaming Awake and the Thrutopia Writing Masterclass If you'd like to join our next Open Gathering 'Dreaming Your Death Awake' (you don't have to be a member) it's on 2nd November - details are here.If you'd like to join us at Accidental Gods, this is the membership where we endeavour to help you to connect fully with the living web of life.

In this episode of Let's Hear It, Eric sits down with two public interest comms powerhouses—Ann Searight Christiano and Angela Bradbury—who've just dropped what might be the most anticipated textbook in our field: Public Interest Communications Strategy for Change Makers. T Ann and Angela share how their years in the trenches at places like the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and Public Citizen shaped this groundbreaking resource—and why storytelling, systems thinking, and listening (really listening) are the keys to actually making change. They discuss their “six spheres of influence,” the “back-of-the-envelope” strategy tool, and why being strategic isn't the same as shouting into the void (no offense to your latest TikTok brainstorm). It's a lively, insightful conversation filled with warmth, humility, and a generous dose of “finally, someone wrote this down.” If you've ever had a boss say, “just make it go viral,” this one's for you. Enjoy the episode—and if you love it, don't forget to follow, rate, and review. Your support helps others find the show (and helps keep us off TikTok, which we would suck at).

Nature's 2022 special issue on racism in science spawned a follow-up Q&A series with researchers who champion inclusion in their workplace or community.Now eight of the 21 Changemakers who have appeared in the series so far revisit their stories in a podcast series that also explores their career journeys and the impage of their research.Kendall Powell, the senior careers editor who launched the article series in May last year, explains how and why it came about, and the criteria for choosing a Changemaker.“The inclusive practices that these researchers follow result in richer collaborations and ultimately better science,” Powell tells Deborah Daley, who is global chair of Springer Nature's Black Employee Network, and the series host.

As a Meriam and Wuthathi woman who grew up in Cairns in northern Queensland, for over 20 years she has crafted a set of legal instruments that allow for the protection of Indigenous Culture. From an Indigenous perspective, Culture is the embodiment of life, and it can be represented in anything from art to dance, from bones to research. She is well recognised across Australia for her work in protecting Indigenous Culture using a series of True Track protocols that enable Indigenous Culture to be recognised as intellectual property. Here she explains her journey and how she found the law. She explores her ICIP principles and then applies them to the process of research, and in particular Country-based ‘placed-based' research. This is a powerful conversation for non-Indigenous listeners as Terri generously shares an Indigenous perspective on Culture that is very different to white understandings of culture.For more about Terri's work you can visit her website – https://www.terrijanke.com.au/. Or read her book True Tracks, available from UNSW Press.For more on ChangeMakers check us out:Via our Website - https://changemakerspodcast.org (where you can also sign up to our email list!)On Facebook, Instagram, Threads - https://www.facebook.com/ChangeMakersPodcast/Blue Sky Social - changemakerspod.bsky.aocial & amandatattersall.bsky.socialOn X/Twitter - @changemakers99 or @amandatattsOn LinkedIn - Amanda.Tattersall Hosted on Acast.

In this special crossover edition of EMS One-Stop and The Bridge Podcast from the Kentucky Office of Rural Health, host Amelia Holliday leads the conversation, joined by Scott Helle, rural project manager at KORH; and Rob Lawrence, host of EMS One-Stop and EMS leader. Recorded live at the 2025 Kentucky EMS Leadership Academy, this episode explores the evolution, design and impact of the Leadership Academy on Kentucky's rural EMS landscape. The discussion dives into the Academy's origins, structure, statewide reach and its mission to prepare the next generation of EMS leaders in some of the most resource-challenged communities in the country. From the realities of low-volume, underfunded rural services, to the inspiring stories of leadership growth and resilience, this episode offers a thoughtful examination of the challenges facing EMS in Kentucky and beyond. Rob reflects on leadership principles drawn from his military and EMS career, while Scott provides a blueprint for how to build and sustain EMS talent in small communities. Together with Amelia's thoughtful moderation, this episode highlights how mentorship, structured learning and network-building are transforming rural EMS leadership — one cohort at a time.

You can't lead without it.” — Amelia Holliday “My six principles: pride, integrity, learning, humor, service and courage. They guide everything I do.” — Rob Lawrence “It costs money to build people. That's why we provide this Academy at no cost to participants.” — Scott Helle “It's hard to run EMS in a state where many counties don't even have a tax base to support it.” — Scott Helle “You're always leading. Once you start, it never stops. People are always watching and listening.” — Rob Lawrence “We're not just building leaders — we're building mentors, networks and future change-makers.” — Scott Helle “Nobody becomes a good leader because they want power.

Business and Technology - Internet Society

"The areas where I think it can be really helpful for communicators to think about are business fluency and thinking about communicators being a business partner. Aligning what they're doing right now, and the decisions they need to make, with a business strategy that has the mission of the company front and center: the North Star." In this episode, Womenheard: Changemakers host Georgia Galanoudis speaks with Diane Schwartz at Ragan Communications, the leading training and networking community for communicators worldwide. As the first female CEO in Ragan's 57-year history, Diane has led the organization to unparalleled growth for the past 5 consecutive years. Listen to this episode for her thoughts on AI's impact in the industry and why asking for help is the key to success. 

In this episode of Changemakers, Katie Goar sits down with Joaquín Cintrón Vega, CEO of the Denver Housing Authority, to explore his transformative vision for affordable housing. Born in Puerto Rico and shaped by early experiences of community resilience, Joaquín shares how his 24-year career centers on housing as a foundation for human dignity and economic mobility—not mere transactions.  He details Denver's innovative strategies to tackle its affordability crisis, including the groundbreaking Sun Valley Redevelopment (a half-billion-dollar neighborhood transformation preserving resident voices), the nationally recognized Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) Program (awarded NAHRO's Excellence Award for creative housing solutions), and pioneering financing models like bond recycling and impact investing.  Joaquín also reveals how Denver empowers residents as "co-creators" through initiatives like the "Wall of Fame" celebration and community-responsive planning, ensuring housing becomes a platform for opportunity.  For leaders in social impact, this episode offers actionable insights on shifting from compliance to transformation and building catalytic public-private partnerships—all fueled by Joaquín's conviction that "our superpower is connecting to build with communities, not for them.”

Send us a textToday's Intuition for Changemakers guest, Alessandra Gerbolini is a current Soulutionary student/circle member of mine.  Recently she shared with our circle— when we were deep diving into ritual as an intuitive tool— ritual as a way to make or mark meaning, as a way to experience or create ceremony where we acknowledge, transform, or heal.  She shared with us a ritual she had recently created and executed to mark a transition she is currently in: that of a mother with a child getting ready to fledge the nest.  Whether you have a child who is about to launch or not— her creation is a gorgeous example of the skill we all have to make meaning, to mark the passage or transition of things in our life— and as Ali says, to in doing so make them more natural— even the hard ones.  I hope you enjoy listening to Ali's wisdom.  I hope it inspires you to make your own magic— to make your own ritual for whatever is important for you at this stage of your life.Show NotesPodcast Ali mentioned: Episode 220 of the Ask Lisa ShowWant to learn one of the simplest intuitive tools I know, one that helps you understand the best course and is as available as your breath?  Download it here! HOW DO I KNOW IF IT IS MY INTUITION SELF-STUDY COURSE Need a reading?  Craving someone else to just look in on the subject for you?  Someone who is dialed into your Highest Good and able to give you information on the choices and roads that will open up your best life for you?  I'm here!  Find out more about my psychic readings and reserve your spot on my schedule here. For more about Aimée, her work, readings, speaking, or classes visit www.AimeeCartier.com.

My friends McArthur Krishna and Anne Pimentel (authors, BYU grads, advocates for those on the margins) join us to talk about their important new book (at Deseret Book and Amazon) called “Changemakers: Women Who Bolding Built Zion” The podcast/book covers important topics: How revelation is “scattered” How women led changing the Church Institution with Primary and Relief Society How most of the change we can impact is in our local area around culture Anne's racial awakening—and her desire to help people of other races feel belonging The “Back Yard Principle” Supporting those who leave the church Why McArthur and Anne (knowing all the complicated issues) stay in the Church Why McArthur hopes the Church her daughters are raised in is different than the Church she was raised in—and how we should embrace change Importance of personal authority If you are looking to improve church culture to better create Zion so more feel welcome, I encourage you to read/share this book. It has real-life stories and perspectives/principles to help each of us. I wish I had read a book like this a long time ago. I encourage everyone to listen to the podcast, read the book—and share with others. Thank you, McArthur and Anne, for your needed work in our community. Honored to have you on the podcast!

We started with wanting to do an episode in honor of the 250th anniversary of the US Army – so we invited an army vet onto the show. But Shawn is more than a vet. We ended up spending most of our time talking about how he once owned the largest nightclub in Indiana, a chicken shack, and yes, served in Afghanistan.
