Sound artist and composer Simon James reflects on his recent project with young people in Whitehawk, initiated as part of the Class Divide campaign - fighting against the educational attainment gap in East Brighton. Sounds recorded during workshops, both on the Whitehawk housing estate and on an adjacent archaeological site, formed part of the exhibition Neolithic Cannibals: Deep Listening to the Unheard. Neolithic Cannibals recreated the Neolithic Camp - a place of communion, celebration, and ritual - as a compassionate listening space inviting audiences to discover Whitehawk's richness, joy, playfulness, and hope, empowering local voices through rarely explored sonic expressions. Simon discusses the process of the project, and how listening played a central part throughout it.
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? And what does it say and do to a community when its school is closed?Featuring:Carlie Goldsmith - https://twitter.com/GoldsmithCNArron, Asa, and RyanJill Clough - Ex COMART HeadAndy Schofield - Ex Varndean School HeadMr Hubbard - Ex Stanley Deason/Marina High/COMART head of dramaDiane 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 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 our record equalling podcast we have 'Postbox Bin-Gone', Queen hypotheticals, a wonderful testimonial by East Brighton parkrun to a much-missed ambassador and some light-hearted arbitrary chastising. Nicola rekindled memories with her trip to Whinlatter Forest parkrun in the Lake District whilst Danny was a social butterfly at Bartley Park parkrun in Southampton.
We kick off 2021 in Melbourne’s inner south-east to catch up with one of the sport’s genuine characters. Beany played with St.Kilda and Footscray through the early ’80s and later went onto a decorated career at Sandringham and East Brighton. A Southern Football Netball League life member and hall of fame inductee, since retiring as a player he has been a staple at Heatherton FNC for the last 20 years, taking on various coaching and committee roles and is their current president. We talk sharing forward lines with all-time greats, lessons learned from legendary humans such as Trevor Barker and Doug Hawkins, as well as near-death experiences after starting overseas food fights with Plugger Lockett. We touch on some of the junior participation challenges for suburban leagues and Beany shares some interesting perspective about the importance of AFL players giving back to the sport at grassroots level. Beany’s passion and love of the game at a community level is impressive and infectious, from his time spent being part of the Southern Footy League radio show, to organising fundraising and charity luncheons, Beany is a man of the people who always has a smile on his face and a cheeky story to tell. An iconic figure both on and off the field, this was a fun episode to make and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did...See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A Merry Christmas to all! Audio recorded live in the field at Bushy's record attendance event is sandwiched by such items as #DollyorBev, the Campaign Against Celebrating Arbitrary Milestones, listener's arbitrary milestones, stats and the profile of East Brighton parkrun. Micro-interviews with PSHCBE, JoSHCBE and parkrun Global CEO Nick Pearson also contained within. It's a cracker.
