Podcasts about half term

We talk about if half-term is genuinely a reset. 

Life has in fact got easier for women (in an Irish context)so why is this not reflected? Who's expectations are they feeding? And what is it like to grow up as a child feeling such a burden? 

The autumn term is a long one, and to mark half-time in the long march to the Christmas break, we like to kick back with one of our 'light' episodes (though to be fair they're not always entirely light!) in which we bring some randomly-selected pieces of content with which to surprise, delight and horrify one another. Regular listeners may remember that we will be hearing less of Emma during season 8, so this is an ideal opportunity to soft-launch her 'stunt double', Sian Wickersham into a low(ish) stakes environment, so this is our first three-presenter episode. We've got a mix of hardcore educational content, musings on the personal qualities of teachers and thoughts on AI amongst other things. We hope you find something interesting in there to pass some time during the half term break. We'll be back with our normal service in two weeks' time. --------------------------------------Recorded in studio D0.12 at Cardiff Metropolitan University's Cyncoed Campus on 22nd July 2025

Even as Keir Starmer faces the threat of all-out rebellion over his welfare bill, Westminster can feel the summer recess approaching. So six months into the year and with the anniversary of Labour's electoral victory approaching, host Sascha O'Sullivan enrols a host of experts to give their view on the government's progress on the 'milestones' set out by the Prime Minister last year. Harry Quilter-Pinner, director of the IPPR and Charlotte Pickles, director of Re:State think tank (formerly called Reform) talk Sascha through each of the milestones – from the economy to energy security – and gives Keir Starmer and his cabinet a grade for each. The pollster Scarlett Maguire, founder of Merlin strategies, provides key insights into how voters view the government's record to date. Rachel Cunliffe, associate political editor at the New Statesman, and James Heale, deputy political editor of The Spectator, gives Sascha an assessment of the trials and tribulations on the opposition benches – from the Conservatives battles with Reform to the Greens' leadership election.

With Summer behind us and the touch of Autumn on the horizon, it's time to say a fond and lengthy farewell to the 2024 garden season. But that's not to say there is still a tremendous amount of gardening to be done. Lucy will be revelling in her Fruit and Veg as Autumn is the crescendo of harvest time, and Saul will be willing an Indian Summer so his last few exotics can flower before tucking them away for some well deserved winter rest. Otherwise there are still lawns to cut, leaves to be racked and a lot of planning for 2025!The final half term of the year is over, with weather that seems to have lost the fact that it's meant to be 'changeable' - a grey, murky sheet of cloud seems to have descended on the UK and it's not budging. But at least it's been dry and that means the Talking Heads pair can get out and start the Autumn clear-up, mow those ever-growing lawns, plant garlic, sow seeds and take cuttings - it's that time of year where one garden season collides with another. Also Lucy takes us back to her trip north of the border and a visit to Benmore Gardens, whereas the least said about Saul's half-term experience the better!Instagram Links:Lucy lucychamberlaingardensTwitter links:Saul @GardeningSaulIntro and Outro music from https://filmmusic.io"Fireflies and Stardust" by Kevin MacLeod (https://incompetech.com)License: CC BY (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)Support the show

Dan Prosser and Andrew Frankel discuss the extraordinary Belgian Grand Prix at Spa, won on the road by George Russell who was later disqualified for having an underweight car.

With 10 Grands Prix still to come, the 2024 season now looks like being a vintage one. The best writers, the finest stories and no ads, all on The Intercooler's beautiful online car magazine.

It started with so much promise but entering 2024, United find themselves out of Europe, out of the League Cup, and falling out of the race for European qualification.

Paul and Nathan use the bye week to try and figure out where the team is and what they need to do in the second half of the season.

On a bonus edition of The Transfer Show, Trev Downey and Dave Davis focus their attention on the success of Liverpool's summer signings. When the window closed and the club had signed four midfielders and no defenders the lads were skeptical about the lack of a ball-winning number six and some defensive cover on the left. Now, a few months have they changed their minds? Also, what areas (and what players) might be targeted in January? The second half of the show is dedicated to half term reports on each of the new boys - Szoboszlai, Mac Allister, Gravenberch and Endo. The lads have a chat about each of the newest Reds and rate their contributions to date.
