Nurses have never been more important. In this episode, author Christie Watson is in conversation with Marverine Cole, discussing her nursing career of twenty years, motherhood, coping with life during a pandemic, and her new book.

In The Courage to Care Christie Watson reveals the remarkable extent of nurses' work. We benefit from nurses' expertise in our hospitals and beyond: in our schools, on our streets, in prisons, hospices and care homes.

Welcome to this Beer with Nat mini-series! Instead of chatting with women who work in the beer industry, like I normally do… in this mini-series, I’m chatting with women who don’t. Why? To show that it’s not just women who work in beer that love it. Today’s guest is journalist and broadcaster, Marverine Cole. Marverine tells us what inspired her to pursue a career in journalism, talks us through the various roles she’s held to date, and lets us in her new day-to-day, as head of the undergraduate journalism program at Birmingham City University. In addition to her work as a journalist and broadcaster, Marverine is also a Beer Sommelier! We chat about what got her into beer, what led her to pursue the Beer Sommelier qualification, and she shares an exciting new opportunity that’s just come her way that combines her passion for beer with her career in journalism. Coincidentally, Marverine and I ended up drinking the same beer! A modern British classic, Thornbridge Jaipur. You’ll hear why she loves it so much shortly. (Just a quick heads up, this episode was recorded remotely, so the audio quality is not quite the same as previous seasons, but I hope you still enjoy it.) Here’s Marverine… Marverine’s shout outs: Check her out on Twitter, @beerbeauty Find her author page on BBC Good Food And finally, here are some of the wonderful women who helped welcome her into beer: Melissa Cole Jane Peyton and her School of Booze Susanna Forbes Frances Braces Sophie Atherton Sophie de Ronde And many more!
On my journey to find the truth as to why a disproportionate amount of black people and ethnic minorities can't and don't swim, I have the pleasure of speaking with celebrities on their relationship with swimming.
Kiki is joined by Marverine Cole discussing the absence of women in grime/rap here in the UK. Whether it’s behind the scenes or at the forefront, black women seem noticeably absent while, in the past 15 years, stars such as Dizzee Rascal, Stormzy, Wiley and Skepta have become mainstream names as the genre grows exponentially, exporting this distinctly British sound internationally from China to the USA.
