There are options beyond living solo or with roommates — and one of them is called 'communal living.' In this arrangement, people don't just simply live together, but share resources and create community. In this episode, co-living enthusiasts explain how it works and how to decide whether it's right for you.

Send us a textSarah, Dan and Deenie are back for episode 65, this week's episode covers:How UAE student restrictions are sending shockwaves through the UK university system. Several institutions falling outside the global top 200 rankings—including UCLan, City University, and Heriot-Watt—now face losing hundreds of international students who provide essential income. With 61% of UK universities falling in rankings this year, the panel explores what this means for PBSA operators and whether other countries might follow the UAE's lead, potentially creating a dangerous two-tier system in higher education.The conversation shifts to the Building Safety Regulator inquiry launched by the House of Lords Committee, accepting evidence until August 31st. The panel highlights concerns about transparency, consistency, and the far-reaching impact of regulatory delays on the entire construction supply chain. As one panelist notes, "It's impacting the whole supply chain of the supply chain of the construction industry."We also question whether stamp duty exemptions for empty nesters would meaningfully address housing market stagnation. The discussion reveals a more complex picture where downsizers seek appropriate housing options that maintain their quality of life—particularly access to gardens that keep them "young and active"—rather than simply reduced tax burdens. This illuminates a significant gap in the market for thoughtfully designed later living options that truly meet seniors' needs.The podcast features an exclusive update on the Renters' Rights Bill from Holly Jordan-Wright of Howard Kennedy, who clarifies that while fixed-term tenancies will indeed be abolished without exception, PBSA will transition to common law tenancies outside much of the bill's remit—provided operators sign up to the national code for landlords. Implementation is now expected in late 2025 or 2026, giving operators more time to prepare.Whether you're a PBSA operator concerned about international student numbers, a BTR developer questioning the definition of co-living, or a later living provider seeking to understand what downsizers truly want, this episode provides essential insights for navigating the ever-evolving shared living landscape.Thank you to our season four sponsors:MyStudentHalls - Find your ideal student accommodation across the UK.Utopi - The smart building platform helping real estate owners protect the value of their assets.Washstation - Leading provider of laundry solutions for Communal and Campus living throughout the UK and Ireland.

On the afternoon of September 6, 1848, the progressive Rabbi Avraham Kohn (1807-1848) of Lemberg (Lvov in Polish) in Austrian Galicia, was poisoned to death. Who assassinated him? What were their motives? With the Austrian takeover of Galicia following the partitions of Poland in the late 18th century, the ancient, large and prestigious Jewish communities of that region experienced seismic changes. Lvov was the largest and most prominent Jewish community in all of Galicia. In this large urban center, many factions within the Jewish community arose in the early decades of the 19th century. When the minority progressive faction imported a rabbi from Austria and installed him as rabbi of their temple in 1843, tensions rose, and the Orthodox elite establishment, as well as the Orthodox majority of the community were vehemently opposed to his arrival. Well beyond the tragic story of a murder, this sad saga opens a window into the dynamics of a community in transformation during the confrontation with modernity in the 19th century.   Subscribe to Jewish History Soundbites Podcast on: PodBean: https://jsoundbites.podbean.com/ or your favorite podcast platform Follow us on LinkedIn, Twitter or Instagram at @Jsoundbites For sponsorship opportunities about your favorite topics of Jewish history or feedback contact Yehuda at:  yehuda@yehudageberer.com  

Send us a textLatest Housed episode with special guest Jonathan Burridge, Co-Founder and CEO of Utopi.Sarah, Dan and Deenie are joined by Jonathan to discuss digital solutions to sustainability in shared living, the key themes covered in this episode include:Smart buildings aren't just collecting data—they're transforming how we live. In this compelling conversation with Jonathan Burridge, CEO and founder of Utopi, we explore the revolutionary intersection of technology, sustainability, and human behaviour in residential real estate.From its inception in 2019, Utopi has evolved from a simple technology solution to a comprehensive platform that helps property owners and operators leverage data to drive meaningful change. Jonathan shares how their journey has been shaped by market realities, client feedback, and global events like COVID-19, resulting in a product that delivers tangible value in today's challenging property landscape.The revelations about resident behaviour are particularly fascinating. Jonathan describes discovering a 1400% variation in energy consumption between identical studio apartments under the same conditions—a stark illustration of how human choices dramatically impact building performance. This data-driven approach has allowed Utopi to develop effective strategies for both passive controls and active engagement campaigns like "Progress to Pizza," which successfully motivated students to reduce their room temperatures.We dive deep into the evolution of ESG from compliance exercise to value driver. As Jonathan explains, "Most of the money in the market is saying we want green assets," creating a compelling commercial case for sustainability investments. The discussion explores how high-performing sustainable buildings attract more capital, potentially commanding better prices while avoiding the "brown discount" applied to underperforming properties during transactions.The conversation offers candid insights into the challenges of running a tech company in the traditionally slow-moving real estate sector—what Jonathan describes as "running a sprint while real estate runs a marathon." Yet despite these challenges, the fundamental case for smart building technology remains strong, particularly as energy markets face continued volatility and sustainability requirements intensify.Ready to discover how smart building technology is reshaping the future of residential property? Listen now and learn how data is becoming the key to unlocking value for people, planet, and profit.Thank you to our season four sponsors:MyStudentHalls - Find your ideal student accommodation across the UK.Utopi - The smart building platform helping real estate owners protect the value of their assets.Washstation - Leading provider of laundry solutions for Communal and Campus living throughout the UK and Ireland.

Strength to Strength welcomed David Anderson for a discussion of what monasticism contributes to a holistic and healthy life.In its best form, monasticism was a form of resistance: not just against compromise in the church, but against hurry, distraction, and disordered desire in the soul.This episode explores the history of monasticism and what it offers today: not escape, but attention; not performance, but formation. Through rhythm, prayer, and ordered love, monks sought to become fully alive to God. In this episode, we will explore how their wisdom still speaks to our distracted and restless age.An interactive question-and-answer period follows.

In this episode of Wake Up, Look Up, Pastor Zach asks: Who can tell a kid no? Inspired by an op-ed on communal parenting, he challenges the individualism of modern parenting and casts a vision for the church as a spiritual family. Drawing from Scripture, Pastor Zach reminds us that raising children in the Lord isn't just the job of parents—it's a shared calling for the whole church. Correction, encouragement, and discipleship aren't overreach; they're love in action. It doesn't take a village—it takes the body of Christ.Have an article you'd like Pastor Zach to discuss? Email us at wakeup@ccchapel.com!

In this episode, we discuss how discipleship is communal.

Practical and Spiritual Progress - 1975 in Germany (includes old tape recordings)In our early years together, we were going with the flow, of the hippie movement. Thomas would play his flute on the top of a mountain communicating with the universe out there. I was writing poems to our family, saying our baby had chosen us, to be the parents. And Thomas' mother, was seeking to know the future of our child, through her astrology charts. We read all of the popular books about spirituality,including the Aquarian Gospel, which portrayed Jesus as a teacher, and a good man. It sounded good, but these false ideas, led us farther and farther away from the Truth. Instead of becoming humble, we discovered that we were separated from God, because of our pride. When we turned to the Jesus of the Bible, he transformed our minds, and gave us His purpose for life. If you have been listening from the beginning of the podcast, you might remember the story, about when we got rid of those books, by burning them at Living Waters. From that time on, we only read the Bible. But when Thomas and I, were getting ready to leave for Germany, as missionaries, we decided to check out the Christian bookstore in Hayward. We had heard of biographies about Christians, who had chosen to take the gospel to other countries, knowing well that sacrifices would be required of them.

Last weekend we kicked off our series Branches and unpacked how we as humanity were intentionally created to live our purpose to Love God and Love People. We discovered that one of the best ways we can love God is by loving the image of God in one another. However, it doesn't take much to realize that humans aren't doing a great job of living out that purpose to love one another… right? Why is that? Join us this week as we continue unpacking the Genesis narrative and learn what went wrong in our quest to live out our communal purpose.

We are joined by Rabbi Daniel Korobkin, medieval scholar and the translator/annotator of the Feldheim edition of Rabbi Yehuda HaLevi's Kuzari, who takes us into the story of a community in arms over whether and when to permit the study of secular knowledge. By looking at several responsa of the Rashba (1:415-417; Kisvei Yad no. 150) we get a glimpse into the age old question of how Judaism ought to interact with the broader world around it. 

Host Bill Whittle and master storyteller Mike Rowe discuss the astonishing — and possibly disturbing — idea that this may be the first time in human history that a cultures myths and stories were not shared equally by everyone and shared AT THE SAME TIME. Is ours the first civilization to exist without a Communal Campfire?

"Grief is messy, but it is our avoidance of grieving that makes it messier - especially when we learn of necessary change."Harmful systems thrive in silence, fear, and unchecked power. This episode explores how abusive dynamics take root in communities—spiritual and otherwise—and how grief work is essential for both individuals and the collective to heal. By recognizing red flags, advocating for accountability, and refusing to bypass grief, we can begin dismantling the structures that allow harm to persist.Links + Resources from this episode: Communal support (spiritual)Communal support on trauma (non-spiritual)Communal support awareness (spiritual and non-spiritual)On Repentance and RepairBecome a Patron!Learn more about Restorative Grief

This is the Catchup on 3 Things by The Indian Express and I'm Ichha Sharma.Today is the 2nd of May and here are the headlines.Prime Minister Narendra Modi chaired the second Cabinet Committee on Security meeting following the Pahalgam terror attack that killed at least 26 people. Key ministers including Amit Shah, Rajnath Singh, and S. Jaishankar attended. Modi also led meetings of the Cabinet Committee on Political Affairs and the Cabinet Economic Affairs Committee. Meanwhile, External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar spoke to U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and emphasized that the perpetrators, backers, and planners of the Pahalgam terror attack must be brought to justice.Additionally, Pakistan violated the ceasefire for the seventh consecutive night, firing across the Line of Control in Kupwara, Uri, and Akhnoor. The Indian Army responded in a controlled and measured manner. The ongoing violations come amid heightened tensions after the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack. On Tuesday, the DGMOs of both countries held a hotline discussion, during which India warned Pakistan about repeated unprovoked ceasefire breaches. The situation remains volatile as Pakistan continues to provoke along both the LoC and the International Border.The next decennial Census of India is set to break new ground by including a detailed enumeration of caste—something that hasn't been attempted since the British-era census of 1931. With the Centre indicating its willingness to capture OBC data, this marks a significant policy shift with far-reaching social and political implications. The most crucial question the government must now address — and one that will ultimately be a political call, much like the decision to enumerate caste itself — is which list to use while enumerating OBCs. In the last Census, for SCs and STs, the proforma relied on the official lists notified under the Constitution (Scheduled Castes) Order, 1950, and the Constitution (Scheduled Tribes) Order, 1950. These lists — currently comprising 1,170 castes under SC and 890 communities under ST — are periodically updated through amendments passed by Parliament.Communal tensions erupted in Nainital, Uttarakhand, after the family of a minor girl filed a rape complaint against a 65-year-old contractor, Usman. The incident allegedly occurred on April 12. The accused was arrested on Wednesday under the POCSO Act. That night, mobs vandalized shops and eateries belonging to the minority community and protested outside a mosque and police station. Videos show shop staff being slapped. Police confirmed the situation is under control, but the incident has inflamed already sensitive communal sentiments in the area.The United States and Ukraine signed a major agreement granting Washington access to Ukraine's critical mineral reserves, including titanium, lithium, and uranium. Known as the U.S.-Ukraine Reinvestment Fund, the deal aims to boost Ukraine's post-war recovery while attracting global investors. The pact also sends a strong message to Russia, showing the U.S. remains committed to Ukraine's sovereignty and economic stability. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said the fund represents a long-term partnership focused on rebuilding Ukraine as a free and prosperous nation.This was the Catchup on 3 Things by The Indian Express.

This is the Catchup on 3 Things by The Indian Express and I'm Flora Swain.Today is the 1st of May and here are the headlines.External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar spoke to U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and emphasized that the perpetrators, backers, and planners of the Pahalgam terror attack must be brought to justice. Rubio expressed sorrow over the attack and reaffirmed U.S. support in combating terrorism. He also encouraged India to work with Pakistan to de-escalate tensions and maintain peace in South Asia. The U.S. had earlier condemned the attack, with officials reiterating their commitment to cooperation with India in counterterrorism efforts.Pakistan violated the ceasefire for the seventh consecutive night, firing across the Line of Control in Kupwara, Uri, and Akhnoor.

The situation remains volatile as Pakistan continues to provoke along both the LoC and the International Border.3. Supreme Court Rejects Judicial Probe PleaThe Supreme Court on Thursday declined a plea seeking a judicial probe by a retired judge into the Pahalgam terror attack. A bench of Justices Surya Kant and N. K. Singh said this was not the time to make demands that could demoralize security forces. They stressed that judges are meant to resolve legal disputes, not investigate terror incidents. The Public Interest Litigation had also requested the formation of a judicial commission. The court, however, emphasized national unity during this “crucial hour” of fighting terrorism.Communal tensions erupted in Nainital, Uttarakhand, after the family of a minor girl filed a rape complaint against a 65-year-old contractor, Usman.

This week we reading Acts 6:1-7:2a and 44-60. This is a reading that really reflects the complexity of communal faith life in ways that are both inspiring and sobering. What is possible when religious leaders recognize how the spirit moves within members of our community, and freely empowers new leaders to serve in new ways? And speaking of new ways ... Can any community hold the particular ferocity of argument that erupts when an established form of religion is confronted by a disestablished form of that religion? Communal faith life is tricky, isn't it. 

Co-founder of The Institute for Bible Reading (IFBR), Paul Caminiti, joins the group to talk about one of the barriers to robust Bible engagement--the fact that we tend to want to read the Bible in isolation. One of the strategies of the IFBR is to introduce, or actually re-introduce, us to reading the Bible in community. Discover how "Communal Bible Engagement" can be a transformational experience in this week of conversations.   WAYS TO LISTEN & SUBSCRIBE:

There's a lot to unpack here from Aaron's constant yawns and toe tapping, to what makes tapping into AI trends so appealing and what the stars were doing in outer space this week.The Buttonista Show is presented by Michelob Ultra

This week, we're getting into the inherited, collective, and often unspoken legacy of Black grief. Joined by Dr. Leslie T. Grover, an award-winning author, activist, and scholar dedicated to historical storytelling as a tool for justice and healing, we look at everything from Maya Angelou's refusal to celebrate her birthday after MLK's assassination to age-old funerary traditions passed down through generations to understand that grief has always been bigger than sorrow for Black folks--it's how we honor, celebrate, and love our ancestors, each other, and ourselves. -- To find more of Leslie's incredible work, visit https://www.leslietgrover.com/ — This podcast is brought to you by PushBlack, the nation's largest non-profit Black media company.

What does it mean to be human in a world where disconnection is not only common, but often woven into the very systems we live in? This episode opens the first of two episodes on rupture and repair in community, drawing deeply from Christian theology, neuroscience, and lived pastoral experience.   Grounded in the biblical assertion that we are made in the image of a communal God, the conversation reframes human identity as inherently relational—our sense of self does not exist in isolation but is shaped through connection with others. Through the lens of Genesis and the teachings of Jesus, brokenness is not treated as an individual shortcoming but as a shared human condition, one that requires collective healing and compassionate presence.   As the episode unfolds, it becomes clear that rupture—whether it shows up as conflict, trauma, or disconnection—is rarely contained to one moment or one relationship. Instead, it reverberates across families, institutions, and even digital spaces, often echoing through generations. With vivid stories from clinical settings and systemic reflections on cultural and organizational life, the conversation exposes how unresolved pain becomes embedded in the structures around us.   The episode also introduces a powerful theological and scientific counterpoint: healing, like trauma, is not confined. Drawing on the idea of "quantum relationality," the discussion explores how repair—when undertaken with intention, humility, and community—can ripple outward to transform entire environments. Whether in a parent-child bond, a broken workplace culture, or a fragmented congregation, the episode illustrates how repair work, especially when modeled on the loving, non-anxious presence of the Trinity, has the potential to restore what was lost. This episode sets the stage for episode 12, which will dive deeper into the Church's unique role in this sacred, systemic work of repair.   Episode Links and References When Narcissism Comes to Church - Chuck DeGroat It Didn't Start with You - Mark Wolynn Mindset: The New Science of Personal Transformation - Dan Siegel    . . . . .

Sheila Dillon joins diners eating together in Manchester and Copenhagen, and hears why some think we should be making more time in the UK for eating communally.During World War II, British Restaurants provided nutritious, affordable meals across the UK. Endorsed by Winston Churchill, they ensured good food was accessible to all. Now, some believe this model should return.Professor Bryce Evans from Liverpool Hope University explains why reviving communal dining could help tackle today's cost-of-living crisis. In Manchester, we hear from "The Manc Kitchen" - a pilot inspired by MP Ian Byrne's "Scouse Kitchen" and his "Right to Food" campaign. Similar initiatives are emerging across the UK.Sheila Dillon travels to Copenhagen, "the capital of communal dining," to see how the Danes have embraced eating together. She visits Absalon, a repurposed church where 200 people dine each night, and Grønne Eng (Green Meadows), a co-housing community where 190 residents cook and share meals communally four times a week. Even in workplaces, communal dining is the norm—Sheila eats with a team of architects at a long table.Food writer Heidi Svømmekjær explains how Denmark's long, dark winters have shaped this culture, making shared meals a way to foster warmth and connection.With food insecurity and loneliness on the rise, Sheila asks if communal restaurants be a solution?
