In today's podcast, Bimbola and Jo were joined by Dayo Adeleye our guest speaker who has just authored her second book - Hearts of Clay. Hearts of Clay speaks about some of the societal issues often swept under the carpet all over the world; such as women tricking men into bringing up other men’s children, child labour, family history repeating itself from generation to generation, the effects of keeping deep secrets from spouses etc... These issues are quite prevalent in our society and as usual we have a go at it on the podcast. Join us in this discussion via instagram, twitter, facebook or email.

In this message, Adam Bird continues our series, looking at Paul's 2nd letter to the Corinthians. Jesus said that we are the 'Light of the World'. We have a light in us that we need to let shine. In fact, Paul calls this light:'treasure' placed in 'Jars of Clay'. We should let the light shine and point to Jesus as the source of our light.
This week, I ponder these questions... What happens when we remain open to new experiences? Do I have any good tips for anyone who has resolved to get fit? What has running got to do with encouraging children to write? Are there advantages to reading many books, on the same subject, by different authors? Can I recommend some interesting novels to read? What do I mean by the words 'multi-directional learning'? Why am I feeling very excited about writing? Can I pronounce the word, 'tomatometer' or does my tongue get all twisted up? What do I always do after reading a good book? Should we steer our children only towards books that portray the good? Should parents preview every book a child wants to read? Is there a danger with banning books? Can some ‘wrong’ books actually be right? Can punctuation rules sometimes be broken? Is there a place for quick and easy reads? What if kids only want to read easy books with little literary value? And do I say 'Cartload of Hay' instead of 'Cartload of Clay'? If you listen (to the end!) you'll also discover I tried a new podcast feature for the first time. The program notes can be found on my blog, Stories of an Unschooling Family. Lots of links to related books, movies, blog posts etc! Featured music: Sunny Morning Exercise Club by Origami Repetika, (CC BY-NC-SA 3.0)
Hardeep Singh Kohli meets Dr Pamela Stephenson, wildlife film-maker Alan Root, creator of Biba, Barbara Hulanicki and soprano Nadine Mortimer-Smith. Soprano Nadine Mortimer-Smith is an opera singer and founder of Opera in Colour. She had a promising and secure career in the City but five years ago gave it all up to pursue her passion for opera. In 2009 she won 'Most Promising Voice' at the Voice of Black Opera competition. She will be performing in Naked Opera at the Forge in London. Alan Root OBE is an acclaimed wildlife film-maker. Born in London in 1937, he moved to Kenya as a young boy and after leaving school at sixteen soon found himself behind the camera. He and his wife Joan Thorpe produced many award-winning wildlife films including 'Baobab: Portrait of a Tree'; 'Safari by Balloon'; 'The Year of the Wildebeest' and 'Castles in Clay', which was nominated for an Oscar. His memoir, 'Ivory, Apes & Peacocks - Animals, Adventure and Discovery in the wild places of Africa ' is published by Chatto & Windus. Psychologist Dr Pamela Stephenson is a former actress and comedian. In her autobiography, 'The Varnished Untruth' she tells of her complicated childhood in Australia, before making a move to London, and being a woman in a man's world on 'Not The 9 O'Clock News'. 'The Varnished Untruth' is published by Simon and Schuster. Barbara Hulanicki OBE is a fashion designer who established the boutique Biba with her husband. With its cutting edge yet affordable fashion, the Biba store and label transformed the High Street shopping experience in the 1960s and 70s. Young working women shopped alongside models and celebrities including Sonny and Cher, Yoko Ono, Mick Jagger, Twiggy and Brigitte Bardot. An exhibition celebrating her work, 'Biba and Beyond' is at the Brighton Museum and Art Gallery. Producer: Paula McGinley.
The recent economic rise of China and India has attracted a great deal of attention--and justifiably so. Together, the two countries account for one-fifth of the global economy and are projected to represent a full third of the world's income by 2025. Yet, many of the views regarding China and India's market reforms and high growth have been tendentious, exaggerated, or oversimplified. This talk by leading economist Professor Bardhan will explore the challenges that both countries must overcome to become true leaders in the international economy. Bardhan's latest book 'Awakening Giants, Feet of Clay' investigates China's and India's economic reforms, each nation's pattern and composition of growth, and the problems afflicting their agricultural, industrial, infrastructural, and financial sectors. His talk will consider how these factors affect poverty, inequality, and environment, how political factors shape each country's pattern of burgeoning capitalism, and how significant poverty reduction in both countries is mainly due to domestic factors--not global integration, as most would believe. Pranab Bardhan is professor of economics at the University of California, Berkeley. His books include Scarcity, Conflicts, and Cooperation.
