Podcast appearances and mentions of moira stuart

This week we're revisiting the legendary Jamaican journalist Barbara Blake Hannah. I spoke to Barbara at the start of last year and she blew me away. What. A. Woman.My guest today is the Jamaican author, journalist, film maker and (no exaggeration) living legend Barbara Blake Hannah.Already an experienced journalist when she arrived in London in 1964, Barbara was shocked to discover her achievements counted for nothing because of the colour of her skin. But she made headlines anyway, in 1968, when she became the first Black TV journalist in the UK. She lasted nine months before being dismissed - almost certainly as a result of a racist backlash, in which her employers sided with the racists… It was several years before another black journalist appeared in a news role on British screens. Without Barbara, arguably, there would have been no Moira Stuart or Trevor Macdonald.Now 80, Barbara has led a pioneering life, so it's a joy to celebrate it with the republication of her groundbreaking 1982 memoir, Growing Out - Black Hair And Black Pride in The Swinging Sixties, as part of Bernardine Evaristo's Black Britain Writing Back series.From her home in Kingston, Jamaica, which she shares with her son, Barbara told me what she learnt from being at the sharp end of racism, why the Black Lives Matter movement gives her hope, feeling new again at 80 and how she learnt to love herself as a Black woman. She also talks about the power and politics of hair and how she has the skin of a 12 year old! Plus she introduced me to my new mantra: time is longer than rope. • You can buy all the books mentioned in this podcast at Bookshop.org, including Growing Out, Black Hair and Black Pride in the Swinging Sixties by Barbara Blake Hannah and all the other books in Bernardine Evaristo's Black Britain Writing Back series.

“Often if some organisations or people feel that something is a ‘tick box'- it fails. We see that time and time again. So if you can, through passion and collaboration, create momentum, then that's what's gonna keep things going.” In Episode 22 I am joined by Nina Goswami, Creative Diversity Lead for the BBC, to discuss the importance of inclusive storytelling, representation in the media, and the BBC's impactful 50:50 Equality Project. Nina's journey is one many journalists will be inspired by, climbing the ladder from reporter, to producer, to editor and then to her current role of creative diversity lead. She shares her story of why representation matters and how important it was to her as a young girl to see Moira Stuart, the UK's first female Black newsreader, on TV – feeling inspired by seeing a woman of colour reading her the news….”You can't be what you can't see”. Nina's interest in inclusive storytelling within the news-cycle grew as she discusses the failures in reporting with Grenfell and the initial COVID coverage. Ultimately this interest got Nina involved in the 50:50 Project, quickly becoming the project lead. The 50:50 Project focuses on making the BBC more representative of the population, starting with coverage reflecting the 50:50 split between males and females in the UK. Nina explains the data-led nature of this as well as it's methodology. Within the BBC, 750 teams have signed up to the 50:50 Project, with around 150 external partner organisations also taking the pledge. We discuss the different methodologies shown within these organisations, and how merely counting the data is not enough, it must also be shared and actioned. Finishing our conversation, we turn to the future of the 50:50 Project. Nina shares that it is currently well into trial runs for both ethnicity and disability monitoring. The BBC as a whole follows a 50/20/12 model, striving for 50% women, 20% BAME and 12% disabled visibility, following national population distribution, but regional BBC teams will work towards proportions accurate to their regions.

In the 2022 New Year Honours list, alongside the names of Joanna Lumley, Moira Stuart and Emma Raducanu, was that of Tony Blair. Over a million people have since signed a petition opposing his appointment as Knight Companion of the Most Noble Order of the Garter, because of his involvement in the Iraq war. In this episode, we go back to take a look at the decisions that led to Iraq and at the context it occured in. Brigadier (retd) Ben Barry OBE is a former director of the British Army Staff in the UK Ministry of Defence and author of the Army's lessons learned analysis of post-conflict stabilisation of Iraq. He is now Senior Fellow for Land Warfare, International Institute for Strategic Studies, and joins us to share his opinion on the Iraq war.

Adam and Heather rambled on something rotten this week, so we've split their conversation about 1980s children's game show The Adventure Game into two parts - series 1 now, and series 2 next time if you're very good and eat up all your vegetables.Moira Stuart is really a lizard person, and she has Heather, Adam and a random civilian trapped in a gloomy cave system, forcing them to complete impossibly convoluted puzzles for her own amusement... or is it all just a particularly baffling dream? And who keeps making that annoying honking sound?But don't worry - a certain bearded intergalactic rascal is here in his 1980 trousers to save the day. Will Heather make it all the way through the episode without having one or more conniptions?Robert Malos demands that you like, rate, review and subscribe to the podcast, and you'd better do what he says. https://twitter.com/retro_tubehttps://shows.acast.com/retrotubeemail: retrotubepodcast@gmail.comTheme Music by Berlin Horse.

talkSPORT's Hugh Woozencroft joins me for this latest episode of Campbell's Footballs. We talk about being inspired by Moira Stuart and Trevoe McDonald before moving into chatting about life in the media and on radio. We discuss life working at talkSPORT before finishing up the show with our predictions for the remainder of the Premier League season. In association with Toby Johnson and Rory Hope Music.

Hear Jo’s boyfriend’s thoughts on the Coronavirus pandemic. Why doesn’t he want Jo to take his temperature? How will Covid-19 affect Kebab Thursday? Has he got enough supplies to get through lockdown? How is he coming to terms with the news that McDonald’s is closed? Plus, why it’s better to be a man than a woman, the state of Moira Stuart’s love life, robot lawnmowers, losing cash and bad weather.

“You silver-tongued Lothario” said Moira Stuart at the end of a bulletin as she bantered with  the man she’d last worked with 35 years prior. 28th October 2019 saw John Humphrys make his debut on Classic FM, filling in for a week on the ‘More Music Breakfast', normally hosted by Tim Lihoreau. John observed he was the ‘new kid on the block’ – ‘new to presenting a programme like this on a station like this’. ‘Beethoven and Brahms instead of Brexit’. Maybe the most similar environment was his delightful interview on Essential Classics on Radio 3. To say he is a pro would be an understatement.  John was born to do radio like this, just as he was destined for his news work. He fitted the gig like a hand into a glove, and it was truly inspired casting by Global. John slipped naturally into the typical presenter gig of announcing music and chatting about nothing in particular – but every presenter knows, actually, how difficult that effortless chat to no-one really is. Anecdotes flowed naturally, from a TV columnist’s view of the Attenborough programme to gifted story-telling of how he felt when sitting watching his son play his first solo performance as cellist. How oddly amusing to hear him talk around ad breaks - and read out text numbers and messages. John has a voice to die for, and his fruity tones shake the loudspeakers in a way not witnessed since Wogan - caressing every syllable of every word. Here was a presenter of Ray Moore calibre and a sort of radio which has a real place in the UK market. “It’s been a pleasure”, he said with true feeling as the programme closed. It was the same to listen to. This is what I always imagined him doing, and I’m so glad he has.  Well done, John - and well done, Global for another class move. 

In this week’s episode of Stalking Time for the Moonboys, Tim and David discuss everything from Moira Stuart burping on the news, flattering compliments of Tim on STFTMBs twitter page and Bowie’s Glasgow ‘stand up’. They also chat about the particular voice of a 70s popstar—which leads on to David attempting several accents. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

When Dom was 19, he wrote and sang a song with his band and much to Chris' delight, he has found the audio and brought it in. The track has some extremely questionable lyrics and Chris can't control himself as it plays out, with Dom trying to justify just exactly what it was he was singing about. The team finally manage to give away their office clutter to a caller who couldn't be any less excited, whilst Dom plays Which McCoy Can You Discern Dominic Byrne? but gets a little too close for comfort to Pippa. Chris' favourite band Shed Seven drop by for a chat, playing a live track and declaring their love of Clitheroe and Nick Frost is on the show to promote his latest film, as well as finally clearing up the rumours of how he did actually come to meet Simon Pegg. There's more… - Chris & Dom aren't convinced about the rumoured new James Bond title - Pippa worries about Moira Stuart calling her the wrong name - We ask for your questions for Dom's upcoming interview with Samuel L Jackson - Dom is convinced he can see Jesus, whereas everyone else just sees flour Enjoy!

Car Roulette finally comes to life from a not so secret location, with someone winning a brand new Mini Cooper after Spider Dom lands on their number. The team are building up to the competition throughout the week with hilarious results, as Dom discovers just exactly what he'll be wearing, whilst also stocking up on sickness pills and tupperware. Philip Glenister drops by for a chat with Chris, James shares another of his weird stories, this time involving Moira Stuart and Dom went along to interview Kenneth Branagh, who involuntarily revealed a little too much information. Plus, we hear just how terrible at accents Matt is again and is Dom EVER going to make that chicken and mushroom pie? There's more... - CBD oil & viagra - A caller hangs up on Chris and he isn't happy - Dom takes a trip to the Casino - How DID Pippa fall in Sainsbury's?! Enjoy!

Moira Stuart tells the astonishing story of the idea of the Unknown Soldier - a powerful prism for national grief, a brilliant interplay between anonymity and universal recognition, an icon which spread across the globe. But even from the beginning the concept of the Unknown Soldier was not without its critics. Some saw it as emblematic of the callousness of states and their governments in wartime - the Unknown could be read as figure of righteous anger, of the terrible, mass anonymity of countless young men lost without trace.

Gordano! Welcome to the podcast that The Times of London has described as ‘a seminal piece of work, a bit like the Jesus story crossed with something else that is really cool - a must listen. xxx’ Moreover, the Queen is now confirmed as a subscriber and if hearsay is to be believed, HearSay are also keen. Lead singer Clive Dugdale was recently seen falling out of a popular Folkestone nightspot whilst listening to said podcast. So it really is very good. In this one, we get our debate on again and receive e-mails sent from an iPhone! We also learn about self control, Will’s latest attempts to get fired from Sainsbury’s and have a grape thrown at a mouth.

Hosting the Wogan dawn daypart the Monday after his death was always going to be a challenge. A challenge that Chris Evans, Lynn Bowles and Moira Stuart rose to perfectly. 'The announcement' was followed by three hours of an utterly fitting, irreverent celebration of a legend. The programme became, in the words of Chris, 'Terry's final show', with his deep Irish voice popping up when you least expected it, not least in the news intro. Amidst the laughter, and the torrent of amusing listener tributes, there were moments of sadness and, very nearly, tears. It take a broadcaster of Chris's stature and intuition, and sensitive production, to pull off a show like today's and reflect the Nation's mood perfectly. I suspect Terry looked on from afar today with a knowing smile: 'That's my boy'

Moira Stuart as a shape-shifting crystal-stealing alien, and Fred Harris being threatened with getting vaporised. Sounds exciting doesn't it?
