Podcast appearances and mentions of darren mcgarvey

Welcome to episode 213 with Darren McGarvey, who is an author, musician, social commentator and journalist. Darren grew up in Pollok on the south side of Glasgow, and has lived through extreme poverty, addiction and homelessness.  He wrote about his life and experiences in his first book ‘Poverty Safari' which received critical acclaim for its insights into poverty and inequality. His upcoming book 'Trauma Industrial Complex' is due out in August and this episode I chat to Darren about the modern phenomenon of lived experience and sharing trauma stories online. We chat about Darren's experience of talking publicly about his life and what happened to him after “Poverty Safari” was an instant bestseller and he suddenly become well known for the things that he had been through. We talk about how social media has produced a culture of oversharing, why telling your story can get in the way of recovery and how this type of advocacy might just have fuelled other modern trends like misinformation and harmful mental health advice. And we talk about why people might feel the need to share their trauma, why there is such a market for it, the hidden consequences of barring your soul and things like victim hood, avoidance and addiction. I'm a big fan of Darren's work, in all its forms, so it was great to chat to him about his new book.  As someone who spends a lot of time, sharing stories and talking publicly about my own mental health, this was a fascinating conversation to be a part of!

For the latest Scots Whay Hae! podcast Ali spoke to CD Boyland to hear all about The Glasgow Review of Books, and particularly the Live Hip-Hop + Poetry night which will be at Stereo in Glasgow on 26th May. CD talks about the line-up, which includes Darren McGarvey, Iona Lee, Billy Letford, Imogen Stirling, Texture, and Johnny Cypher, all hosted by Loud Poets' Kevin Mclean. The two then talk about the work of The Glasgow Review of Books, how it began, CD's role as co-editor, how people can submit and get involved, creating a space for Gaelic and Scots writing, and so much more. The Glasgow Review Of Books is a wonderful resource for anyone with an interest in literature, taking Glasgow as its starting point, but covering writers and writing on a national, and international, basis. The level of discussion and criticism is informed and accessible, and at a time when the arts are under real threat it's heartwarming to hear about the work CD, his colleagues, and the contributors do.

In this episode we're looking at how years of neglect and middle-class flight resulted in the closure of East Brighton's only secondary school also known as "the school that died of poverty".How is that allowed to happen?

Scottish journalist and musician Darren McGarvey gives the third of four BBC Reith Lectures on the theme of 'Freedom from Want'. He says it's incumbent upon people to challenge and confront what inequality means. McGarvey argues that expecting compassion from the government is unreasonable — as governments have become hard-wired to avoid compassion.

In this episode we follow the story of Carlie Goldsmith and her three brothers, Asa, Ryan, and Arron. All four grew up in Whitehawk, one of the council estates of East Brighton on the South Coast of England.Carlie received an assisted place at a fee-paying independent school for girls, while her brothers attended the local comprehensive in the hills and hollows of Whitehawk. This episode explores the stark reality of educational segregation and the impact it has on the lives of young people.We delve into the significance of Carlie's assisted placement and how it opened up a world of opportunities that she otherwise wouldn't have had access to. We discuss the challenges her brothers faced in their state school and the consequences of the educational divide that exists within the state school system.Featuring:Carlie Goldsmith - https://twitter.com/GoldsmithCNArron, Asa, and RyanMr HubbardDiane Reay - https://www.educ.cam.ac.uk/people/staff/reay/Darren McGarvey - https://twitter.com/lokiscottishrapClass Divide was written and produced by Curtis James.

In this episode, Curtis and Carlie discuss their thoughts on the previous week's episode, which explored the negative stigma and perception in the communities of Whitehawk, Manor Farm and Bristol Estate in East Brighton.Curtis and Carlie share some more personal experiences of stigma they have faced, and discuss the issue raised by Darren McGarvey about 'the imperialist nature' of organisations parachuting in to 'save' communities like Whitehawk.Research on how people define their class: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/0038038520982225Check out the Class Divide Website.Support this podcast by leaving a rating and review, and please share if you love what we are doing.

In this episode, we're in Whitehawk, one of the most underprivileged communities in the UK, where we will meet the residents who call this place home. We will look into the issues facing this community and explore how the stigma attached to council estates like Whitehawk has contributed to the systemic inequalities that exist in our education system.We'll uncover the challenges faced by those living in this community, including high levels of poverty and low educational attainment. We'll also explore how the stigmatisation of council estates has perpetuated these issues and made it even harder for individuals to break the cycle of poverty and disadvantage.Featuring:The Whitehawk Bygones Society speak about moving to Whitehawk as children and where the negative perceptions of the area might have come from; social historian and author John Boughton; writer, performer, and activist Byron Vincent; and rapper, broadcaster, campaigner, and Orwell Prize-winning author Darren McGarvey, who talks about the flawed approach of always bringing outsiders into a community to "fix things".Class Divide was written and produced by Curtis James.

First up we have a quick catch up about the week gone and little Rishi's big deal.  Then I speak to Scottish rapper, activist and writer Darren McGarvey. Darren comes at things from a very different angle to me on a political level, but communicates with such clarity I defy anyone not to take away something from this.  His analogy about the SNP using nationalism like a 'performance enhancing drug' is the best i've heard.  Support the Podcast, keep it weekly & AD-FREE https://www.patreon.com/geoffnorcott?fan_landing=true Come to my LIVE shows https://www.livenation.co.uk/artist-geoff-norcott-1252793 Order my BOOK amzn.to/2TNsKOU Check out my TIK-TOK www.tiktok.com/@geoffnorcott

Have you ever wondered why some children excel academically while others struggle? In this episode, we explore the critical importance of early years education, from birth to junior school, which many experts consider the most critical time for young people's development and learning.We take a close look at the lives of one family in Whitehawk, a council estate on the outskirts of Brighton, and how their experiences in the formative years could potentially have a profound impact on every aspect of their lives.To provide a broader understanding of the challenges facing early years education, we are joined by a diverse range of guests.Rapper, broadcaster, campaigner and Orwell Prize winning author Darren McGarvey; Thomas McMorrin, headteacher at City Academy Whitehawk; Professor Diane Reay, Cambridge academic researcher and higher education teacher; Dr Sarah Leaney from the University of Brighton; Celia Greenwood is one of the co-founders of the WAC Arts Organisation; Dr Chris Bagley, educational psychologist and former teacher; Mary Bousted, joint general secretary of the National Education Union.Class Divide was written and produced by Curtis James.

In her first public comments since leaving office, the Ex-PM Liz Truss has argued that her plans to boost economic growth were brought down by "the left-wing economic establishment". Losing the confidence of the financial markets at a time of global uncertainty has made us all more aware of our income and expenditure. If the news accurately reflected our lives, it would be hard to escape the conclusion that life is all about money - inflation, interest rates, pay demands and profits. The overriding objective of measuring economic growth is to help as many people as possible to have more money. But how have we become so pre-occupied with what is, after all, an artificial construct that is intrinsically valueless – paper and numbers in themselves morally neutral? The love of money may be the root of all evil, but its use demands trust and co-operation, its possession brings freedom and agency. Money may have given much of humanity richer lives, in every way, but it's made us into transactional, rather than relational beings, and it corrupts as much as it enables; a tool that so often seems our master. It's impossible for us to judge when we have enough of it. If the best things in life are free, can we imagine a world without money – and would it be better? With Charlie Mullins, Darren McGarvey, Tomáš Sedláček and Anitra Nelson Producer: Dan Tierney.

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This week Pip is joined by Glasgow-based rapper, author and activist DARREN McGARVEY aka LOKI!A thoroughly engaging and informative chat to light a fire under you right here, as Pip connects with Darren and jumps in the deep end from the very start! That's how we like it. It's actually perfect because Darren has a lot to say, all of which is guided towards society and shining a light on some of the sides of it that often get left in the shadows, ignored, or basically hidden from public view. He has skin in the game too, having lived in a part of Glasgow which hasn't always been what you might consider the safest part of town, and with alcoholism in the family, so it comes as no surprise that there's a feeling of catharthis in his quest to enlighten and create positivity in his work. Speaking of work, you can catch Darren on road not long after this podcast releases, and also make sure you peep his rap music which is proper too. Very sick stuff. A definite companion episode to previous guests such as Akala, Rutger Bregman and Emma Dabiri to name a few.THE SOCIAL DISTANCE BETWEEN USONLINETWITTERINSTAGRAMLIVEYOUTUBESCROOBIUS PIP on TWITCHSCROOBIUS PIP on INSTAGRAMSCROOBIUS PIP on TWITTERSCROOBIUS PIP on PATREONBLAIR TWITCH PROJECTDEBRISNORTH STAR RISINGPOD BIBLE Hosted on Acast.

In this episode I virtually sit down with Darren McGarvey to do a deep dive on his new book The Social Distance Between Us: How Remote Politics Wrecked Britain. In one of my favourite conversations to date we explore all the nuances of class. Darren is already an Orwell prize winning bestselling author, due to his last publication Poverty Safari, as well being a columnist and film maker for the BBC. We discuss, the myth of the meritocracy and the complexities of privilege, how language is used to divide and discriminate, our implicit and explicit class identifiers, working class attitudes to authority and the fascinating idea of class deference. We hit on how certain communities are actively constructed differently to exclude certain populations and there is also a lot of interesting crossover with my own research on homelessness/addiction. Darren also shares his hilarious assessment of our political situation and the political class more generally. Apologises there is a little swearing in this one, but as the old saying goes…swearing is just punctuation where I come from. Copies of his new book can be purchased from his website (link below). https://darrenmcgarvey.com/

DARREN McGARVEY aka LOKI grew up in Pollok. He is a writer (The Poverty Safari and The Social Distance Between Us) performer, community activist and columnist, and former rapper-in-residence at Police Scotland's Violence Reduction Unit. He was part of the Poverty Truth Commission that was hosted in Glasgow in 2009 and has presented eight programmes for BBC Scotland exploring the root causes of anti-social behaviour and social deprivation.

Why do we still have such difficulty in grappling with the social force that shapes us most? Rapper and Orwell Prize-winning writer Darren McGarvey joins the Tom Clark to discuss his new state-of-the-nation book The Social Distance Between Us. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

The pandemic exposed and intensified the deep-rooted problems gripping the nation – from poverty to precarity to underfunded public services. But social distance has been at the heart of our biggest challenges since long before Covid-19 struck: in particular, the distance that those in power often keep from the issues they are in charge of solving.If proximity to a problem makes us better placed to understand how to address it, then it's no wonder we are faltering. The distance – be it geographical, economic, or cultural – between those who make decisions and those on the receiving end of them has never been clearer, and the parameters of the discussion about social inequality are set by those who have little experience of it. Prize-winning writer, commentator and rapper Darren McGarvey interrogates the social remoteness at the root of our biggest problems, and explores what it would take to centre lived experience in developing clear-sighted, hopeful solutions.#RSAinequalityBecome an RSA Events sponsor: https://utm.guru/ueembDonate to The RSA: https://utm.guru/udNNBFollow RSA Events on Instagram: https://instagram.com/rsa_events/Follow the RSA on Twitter: https://twitter.com/RSAEventsLike RSA Events on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/rsaeventsoff... 

For this week's BetterPod, we've been out and about in Glasgow – the home city of performer, activist and Orwell-prize winning writer Darren McGarvey… otherwise known as the rapper Loki.His latest book is about the economic and cultural distance between those who make decisions and the people on the receiving end of them. The Social Distance Between Us argues that remote politics has wrecked Britain.But, as Laura Kelly and Katerina Sivitanides found on our first walking podcast edition of BetterPod, that distance isn't always geographic. In Glasgow's West End, we take a 15 minute walk that brings us from one of Scotland's most deprived areas to one of the most prosperous.Against that backdrop, Darren explains the complex causes and consequences of inequality.BetterPod is brought to you by The Big Issue's Future Generations team.

The failure of British politics and public institutions to tackle social inequality is down to proximity, so says the writer, performer and activist Darren McGarvey. In The Social Distance Between Us: How Remote Politics Wrecked Britain he looks at the huge gulf – geographic, economic and cultural – between those who make decisions and the people on the receiving end of them. He tells Adam Rutherford it's time for a meaningful discussion in which the voiceless and powerless get heard. The Social Distance Between Us is BBC Radio 4's Book of the Week. The poet Jo Clement gives voice to the stories and people of her family's Romany past. In her collection Outlandish she has no time for Romantic impressions of British Gypsy ethnicity as she moves from ancient stopping-places to decaying council estates. Her poems are imaginative protests that cast light on a hidden and threatened culture. It's a far cry from the world of former broker Brett Scott. But in his latest book, Cloudmoney: Cash Cards, Crypto and the War for our Wallets he argues that social inequality will only increase if cash is allowed to disappear. A cashless society is the vision of big finance and tech, and he warns that it will end up only benefitting the few, while infringing the privacy of the many. Producer: Katy Hickman

Host Bram explores the ideas, ideologies and identities discussed in Season 1, with contributions from award-winning author Darren McGarvey, psychedelic philosopher Dr Peter Sjöstedt-Hughes, activist Zoe Venditozzi, and cultural critic Mike Watson. Festive theme remixed by Asthmatic Astronaut.

In this episode we start at the beginning by exploring how the process of development has deeply affected the neighbourhood of Shieldfield (and neighborhoods like it) and how these processes have caused not just physical displacement but also emotional and spiritual displacement. We also ask you to consider how the processes of development are affecting your community. What are the multiple effects of gentrification where you live ? How is it preventing certain communities from flourishing? How can you call attention to what is happening? Contributors to this episode include Shieldfield residents: Ken, Val, Sharon, Mahamat, Haley, Sheryl, John, Ronnie as well as contributions from Loretta Lees, Chris Jones, Willie James Jennings, Darren McGarvey, Alastair McIntosh, Julia Heslop, Hannah Marsden, Lydia Hiorns, Gemma Herries and Alison Wilkinson.More Real / Symbol Episode 1: Even the trees are being displaced

This episode Calum speaks to author, musician and social commentator Darren McGarvey. Darren has made moving documentaries on the root causes of anti-social behaviour and social deprivation, the causes of increasing inequality, homelessness and community centres.Earlier this year Darren made a documentary for BBC called class wars which delved into contentious subject of rural land ownership and we're keen to find out a bit more about his experiences. So hold tight for this episode as we take a deep dive into inequality, land ownership, derelict land and the effect that all this can have on communities.  

In ‘Poverty Safari' – his first award-winning book – writer and rapper Darren McGarvey paints an honest picture of Britain's class divide. In his forthcoming book, ‘The Social Distance Between Us', he takes his argument further. He claims the pandemic has laid bare the contours of class inequality, but it has also shown us that, if the will is there, political and economic mechanisms do exist to solve poverty and inequality. Darren McGarvey joins host Ross Ashcroft to discuss what lessons we can learn from the pandemic and how to move forward from here.

Class is a subject that, no matter how much we advance as a society, we seem unable to stop talking about — especially in the UK. Glasgow rapper Darren McGarvey, otherwise known as Loki, has been thinking a lot about it for a new documentary series on the BBC. Over the years, Loki has developed a reputation for scathing social commentaries through his music and writing; three years ago he published a book, Poverty Safari, detailing the rapper's working class upbringing in Scotland and winning the Orwell Prize in the process.On identity politics:'Identity politics is a public relations disaster, because it emerges on Ivy League campuses from young idealistic middle class students who have no idea about the intersection between their very exclusive way of thinking and talking about reality, and working class communities, where a lot of this language just rouses scepticism, and resentment because it's the language of officialdom, it's the language of authority. It's just another generation of people who don't want to listen to working class experiences, and don't want to hear it and people will be dismissed for being aggressive, people will be dismissed for this.' On class division:'One of the great successes of capitalism is that as well as leading to generally higher quality of life for broader numbers of people, access to information technology, innovation, and things of that nature, it also has created parallel societies which have completely different social experiences. They have completely different cultural aspirations. And they have a different sense of identity. Some have an ascribed identity, some have an achieved identity. And so what that does is it puts our democracy and our system under increasing strain. Because as you create parallel societies that don't have to interact with one another, except for basic economic transactions, then people have to come to all sorts of conclusions about the intentions of the people on the other side of the ravine.' On the term working class:'Imagine your house burnt down, but you couldn't use the word fire to describe it. Sometimes we need to use the language of class because it helps us to more clearly articulate some of the trends that we see in society along the lines of employment, education, health and political exclusion. With all this emphasis on social mobility, it's become a sort of a shameful thing that people don't want to describe themselves as.' On his upbringing:'The only people that are harder on working class people than the ruling classes, are other working class people. We regiment one another so strictly in terms of dress, in terms of the range of topics that we're allowed to be interested in and discuss, even in terms of things like nutrition, which is changing a little now, but back then, if you were talking about hummus, and couscous, and all of these other things, that sort of marked you out as somebody who thought they were a little bit better than everyone else. And back then everything that fell out of our frame of reference was just labelled with a synonym “gay”, which just described everything.' On woke capitalism:'Look at how the identity politics has found expression within the capitalist system, ultimately it's led to the Democratic Party and Costa Coffee, and Pret a Manger and all of these, selling cups with rainbow flags on them, while at the same time largely being complicit in a system that economically disadvantages people of all races, of all backgrounds, based on their social class, not on their race, not on their gender. Now, I have to caveat that by saying, there are very specific ways in which people of colour and women and LGBT people and people with disabilities are disadvantaged by our system, both economically and culturally. And these are obvious, and I don't think most people would dispute that fact. But if you do not have the class analysis, that imposed over the other analysis of identity, then what happens is you create quotas that lead to middle class people of colour, middle class people with disabilities, middle class women and LGBT people moving into positions of authority. And while that does represent progress, and I'm not saying that it doesn't, it doesn't address the fundamental inequalities that we say that we're all fighting for.' On the concept of privilege:'Privilege itself is a word that could maybe have been thought through a little better before academics and before activists and students ran onto Facebook, telling everybody, you can't deny my experience, but I can deny your experience. It's not worked out very well. But again, I will say that that's not the Left. That's a product of liberalism. That's almost a product of capitalism in and of itself.'Thanks to Loki for sharing his thoughts on the corrosive effects of identity politics on society, his family's struggles with addiction and alcoholism, and the phoniness of woke capitalism.Read The Post here See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

We just can't escape the continuing saga of the internal SNP leadership spat with the appearance yesterday of Peter Murrell before the Holyrood parliamentary inquiry committee and Alex Salmond's no show today. Just what does the whole sorry affair say about the nature of public debate and scrutiny of Scottish governance? Lesley did, however,make her presence felt on Sky News and Good Morning Scotland and we reflect on those very different experiences. The Big Questions this Sunday focused on the nature of Britishness with "interesting" contributions from the English guests and a cracking one from Darren McGarvey. We also dip our analytical toes into the troubled waters of the  post Brexit, digital downloadable, British music industry and the launch of Now Scotland. I might also happened to have mentioned my birthday.

76: Fundraising During A Perfect Storm (Chris Carnie) SUMMARYHow do you fundraise during a perfect storm? Nonprofit leaders are challenged in numerous ways right now, and face uncharted territory in terms of the fundraising environment in which they must operate. While Chris Carnie’s work originates primarily in the UK and Spain, he brings a global perspective to not only the elements of the storm we must understand, but also ways to better navigate through it. In episode #76 of the Path Podcast, Chris and I discuss how this “storm” is affecting the mindset of many philanthropists, why the concept of venture philanthropy is something we must learn, and specific ways nonprofit leaders can advance their careers using prospect research and strategy.ABOUT CHRISChris Carnie has worked in fundraising since 1980, initially with the Muscular Dystrophy Group, Voluntary Service Overseas and Kings College Hospital, London, and was a researcher in the House of Commons. In 1990 he co-founded Factary, Europe’s leading prospect research agency. In 1993 he became the first advancement researcher to be elected a Fellow of the Institute of Fundraising, and in 1999 the first to be appointed a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts (RSA). He was Founder Chair of Researchers in Fundraising, the Institute of Fundraising special interest group, and is a member of the Association of Professional Researchers for Advancement (USA) of the Association Française de Fundraisers (France) and of the Asociación de Profesionales de Fundraising (Spain). Chris has also been involved in the development of venture philanthropy in Europe since 2003, as a member of the Finance and Funding Group of the European Venture Philanthropy Association. He is the management level trainer in major gift fundraising at ESSEC for the Association Française de Fundraisers’ postgraduate course. Chris has written several books on fundraising and philanthropy, including Find the Funds – a New Approach to Fundraising Research, Fundraising from Europe, and his latest book, How Philanthropy is Changing Europe.

Kit de Waal, Darren McGarvey, Adelle Stripe and Michael Chaplin join Shahidha Bari to examine what we mean by ‘working class writing'. Crowd funding has helped bring a new generation of authors into print but is this because mainstream publishing has neglected diverse voices? What experiences do we want to see on the page and stage? Recorded at Sage Gateshead.Kit de Waal's short stories include “Crushing Big”, “I am the Painter's Daughter” and “The Beautiful Thing” - which was broadcast on BBC Radio 4. Her debut novel My Name Is Leon was shortlisted for the Costa First Book Award 2016.

Her new novel is called The Trick To Time. Darren McGarvey, author of Poverty Safari, is also known as Loki, a Scottish hip-hop artist, writer and community activist. Darren was rapper-in-residence at Police Scotland's Violence Reduction Unit.

'I'm mad as hell, and I'm not going to take it anymore'. These are the words of the news anchor-man in the film Network, now adapted for the stage. The director Ivo van Hove tells Francine Stock how this satire on global capitalism and chasing ratings with populist rants has such relevance today. Composer Nico Muhly also looks to Hollywood, adapting Hitchock's film Marnie - and the novel that inspired it - for the English National Opera. Born into poverty, Marnie becomes trapped in a web of lies and angrily claws her way out. Anger pervades Darren McGarvey's book, Poverty Safari, as he takes the reader on a journey into Britain's deprived communities to give voice to people who feel misunderstood and unheard. He explores how stress pervades the streets where he was brought up, while the scientist Caroline Relton studies how stress and other environmental factors can be passed down through generations, affecting our genetic make-up. Producer: Katy Hickman.
