Welcome to Over the Rainbow, an LGBTQ+ podcast dedicated to queer education and queer representation. Hosted by Rachel Keighley (she/her).   Episode 19: A hierarchy of identity with Joseph Rees (he/him):   Joe is the founder and owner of Homojo, an not-for-profit brand aiming to challenge bullying within the LGBTQ+ community, create meaningful connections and celebrate identity.   In today’s episode we are talking more about the existence of a hierarchy of identity within the LGBTQ+ community. Joe and I discuss the existence of Hate, bullying and marginalisation from within the LGBTQ+ community and the effects this has on folk exploring their identities.   Joe shares his experiences with this and we begin to explore some of the reasons this hierarchy exists and in doing so challenge the idea that there’s one way to be.    We also talk about the repercussions this hierarchy has on fighting for equality, and the need to bring every person’s experiences and identity to the forefront to create equal spaces across society.   All of this underpins Joe’s motivations for starting Homojo so please do go support him and this amazing inclusive brand.   Together we can break down these hierarchies and build a fully inclusive, equal, LGBTQ+ community where every single gender and sexual identity is celebrated.   More information on Joe and Homojo: Instagram: @homojo_official https://www.instagram.com/homojo_official/ https://www.homojo.co.uk   Information, support and resources: Just Like Us: Instagram: @justlikeusuk https://www.instagram.com/justlikeusuk/ LGBTQ+ Rainbow Conversations with Richard Dunbar and Rachel Keighley: https://www.instagram.com/tv/CLpaHD0lRVt/ The Velvet Rage by Alan Downs Queer: A Graphic History by Meg-John Barker   More information on this podcast: Instagram: @_overtherainbowpodcasthttps://www.instagram.com/_overtherainbowpodcast/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/overtherainbowpodcast13 Twitter: @overrainbowpodhttps://twitter.com/overrainbowpod Clubhouse: @rachelkeighley Reading the Rainbow book club: https://www.facebook.com/groups/readingtherainbow   Music: Find Your Way Beat by Nana Kwabena    

Episode 18: Gatekeeping in the LGBTQ+ community with Jenna Slaughter (they/them): Jenna is a self-love coach and host of The Unlearning Podcast. Jenna helps LGBTQ+ folk sort through emotional baggage, get clear with what feels authentic to you, and empower people to take inspired action.   In today’s episode, we talk about gatekeeping in the LGBTQ+ community. Within this topic we discuss what LGBTQ+ gatekeeping is, including distinguishing between good and bad gatekeeping. Predominantly, we aim to challenge thinking around the idea that there’s one way to be and open our minds to the idea that there should be no caveats on identity and belonging. Each person’s identity within the LGBTQ+ community is perfectly valid, and we need to start challenging those who attempt to devalue folk for not being ‘queer’ enough.   Join us on this journey as we dismantle marginalising structures and foster a world of growth, fluidity and acceptance of all identities   More information on Jenna: Instagram: @itsjennaslaughter https://www.instagram.com/itsjennaslaughter/ Website: https://www.jennaslaughter.com The Unlearning Podcast:@theunlearningpodcast https://www.instagram.com/theunlearningpodcast/ https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/unlearning-podcast-healing-anxiety-unlearning-conditioning/id1546633957   Information, support and resources: LGBTQ+ Rainbow Conversations with Richard Dunbar and Rachel Keighley: https://www.instagram.com/tv/CLpaHD0lRVt/ Pride and Joy Foundation LGBTQ+ Influencer and Family Summit: https://www.prideandjoyfoundation.com/summit-waitlist  Frankie Simone: @iamfrankiesimone https://www.instagram.com/iamfrankiesimone/ How to be an antiracist by Ibram X.

We have just been through a period where financial market plumbing has, again, been tested to its limits and where QE has arguably one of the greatest drivers of markets. However, it is also a period where the needs of savers have never been greater. We have, perhaps, also never seen such external scrutiny of what we, as an asset management industry, do and how we behave as shareholders and debtholders. An opportune time then for Richard Dunbar to discuss the principles of investment governance and oversight with Archie Struthers, Global Head of Investment Governance & Oversight, Fiona Melville, Global Head of Investment Oversight and Paul Hughes, Global Head of Investment Risk.

An exploration in how our brains can change and how this relates to intelligence.

As we all know, the investment landscape is ever-evolving and perhaps never more so for asset owners. In recent years an increasing governance focus, broadening regulatory requirements, and increasing mismatches between assets and liabilities have asked many questions of asset owners. It is therefore perhaps not surprising then that ‘Solutions’ have come much more talked about in the industry. But what are Solutions and who do they serve? Richard Dunbar talks to Ian McDonald, Global Head of Client Solutions and Leandros Kalisperas, Head of Portfolio Solutions on the evolution of solutions and helping investors address specific and complex investment challenges

Richard Dunbar speaks to Craig MacDonald, Global Head of Fixed Income and Samantha Lamb, Head of ESG for Fixed Income, in the midst of one of the most difficult economic, market and business environments. We have experienced one of the fastest global economic contractions in history. Credit spreads widened to extreme levels at the fastest rate and then narrowed quite significantly, as central banks stepped in, and as governments provided fiscal support. So where to from here for fixed income? And what of ESG factors - will we see an acceleration of ESG trends, or might this be lost in the fight for survival?

So where to from here for fixed income? And what of ESG factors - will we see an acceleration of ESG trends, or might this be lost in the fight for survival?

Richard Dunbar speak to Devan Kaloo, Global Head of Equities and Flavia Cheong, Head of Asian Equities in the midst of one of the most difficult economic, market and business environments. That being said it is also an environment where both fiscal and monetary policy have proved a very powerful antidote to the early damage done to equity markets when the impact of the virus first hit. So an opportune time to talk and to take stock of where we are in equities at this point in time.

These are uncertain times the likes many have never seen before. It is also an environment where private markets have rarely been a larger or more important part of the global investment landscape. Richard Dunbar speaks to Peter McKellar, Global Head of Private Markets and Jennifer Mernagh, Multi-Asset Investment Manager about how Private Markets cope with this environment and how they play their part in the recovery from it is crucial to them – but also to the broader global economy.

Richard Dunbar is a local Labour councillor in Bradford. Born and bred on Buttershaw, Know Your Place Bradford talks to Richard about how a young lad from the estate became interested in politics and organising to change the world and why Bradford’s a place he never wants to leave. Richard also updates us on the Council's corona virus response. The Bradford Council Helpline number is: 01274 431000.

In the midst of one of the most difficult economic, market and business environments ever seen, Richard Dunbar speaks to Sir Douglas Flint, Chairman of Standard Life Aberdeen. Sir Douglas shares his views on dividends, social responsibility, globalisation and sustainability. Once the current pandemic has passed, the world could, and probably should, look rather different.

Recent weeks have seen broadening concerns on the coronavirus spread and on the economic and market impact of it, but also of huge monetary and fiscal stimulus designed to generate demand and to cushion companies and individuals from the worst impact of the economic fallout. Bond markets have been at the epicentre of some of the recent volatility – and in particular some of the emerging market bond markets. And so too has Asia – but also due to it being first into the problems that now confront us all. Richard Dunbar speaks to Adam McCabe and Brett Diment about the Bond markets, specifically EMD and Asia.

This podcast takes place against the backdrop of broadening concerns on the coronavirus spread and the economic impact of that spread. We have seen unprecedented equity markets falls followed by sharp rises. But how are emerging markets fairing in what is a global problem? Richard Dunbar discusses the changing macro and market environments with Joanne Irvine, Deputy Head of Global Emerging Markets and Bob Gilhooly, Senior Emerging Markets Research Economist

Coronavirus - where have we got to, and how do we see the economic and market landscape from here? After a turbulent few weeks in markets, Richard Dunbar talks to Katy Forbes, Head of Absolute Return in our Multi-asset Team and Jeremy Lawson, our Chief Economist and Head of the ASI Research Institute

European Equities – A region that seems to get a lot of bad press – poor politics, slow growth and poor demographics, amongst others. But is also a region with unique investment opportunities, some of the best companies in the world and a region at the vanguard of the environmental agenda. Certainly worth a closer look – and to do so, Richard Dunbar talks to Ben Ritchie and Will James, Head and Deputy Head of European Equities respectively - both and long-standing investors in these markets.

On Tuesday night, the Waukesha Common Council may decide whether to OK tearing down a key part of the last intact resort from Waukesha’s springs era. It’s a controversial proposal. But before we get into that, let's share the story of how Waukesha became known as a 'Spring City.' READ: Former Hotel From Waukesha's Springs Era Survives Demolition Request A Bubbler Talk question asker noticed historical markers for springs all over the city, and wonders why the springs seem to have vanished. We’re talking about naturally occurring springs where water seeps up through cracks in limestone on top of the shallow aquifer underneath much of Waukesha County. About ten of the springs are still around, a few of them on public property. That’s according to author John Schoenknecht. He’s a retired Waukesha teacher and author of the book, The Great Waukesha Springs Era 1868-1918 . Schoenknecht says that era began when Col. Richard Dunbar, a diabetic, came to Waukesha. He drank many glasses of water

If you can build something on it, harvest or extract something from it, it’s a real asset. Where from here for investments that touch all out lives – from farmland to timber, from shale to power? Richard Dunbar discusses the broad range of investable opportunities in the Real Assets arena with Jim Gasperoni

Head Coach Richard Dunbar, Fort Lauderdale High 

A view from the top of Standard Life Aberdeen. The need to turn savings into investments for a better and heathier economy. Research as the key to unlock door of investments in a lower return world. Stewardship and our “social licence” to particulate in this honourable profession – one at the centre of a modern capitalist economy. Richard Dunbar speaks to Keith Skeoch, CEO of Standard Life Aberdeen on savings, the returns we make on them and the responsibility of ownership.

Over 20 years of multi-asset investing. A time that has seen a widening universe and a changing investment culture within multi-asset – from “investment tourists” to “citizens of investment”. Richard Dunbar speaks to Aymeric Forest about the future of Multi-Asset investing. Where from here, after a decade of QE and strong returns from most asset classes?

The way we view the world and its resources is changing. As investors, our focus on climate change provides high-quality data and insights on climate-change trends, risks and opportunities. In this podcast, Richard Dunbar, Head of Macro Investing, discusses ASI’s three upcoming climate-change-related papers with authors Eva Cairns, ESG Investment Analyst; Craig Mackenzie, Head of Strategic Asset Allocation, Global Strategy; and Stephanie Kelly, Senior Political Economist.

Quant investing, in all its various forms, has been one of the growth areas in fund management over the last two decades. In this podcast Dr Sean Phayre, Global Head of Quantitative Investments at ASI, reflects on this growth and the reasons for it. Speaking with Richard Dunbar he also reflects on the recent underperformance of “value” as a style, the changing nature of the companies in which we invest and on how and whether ESG and “stewardship” fit in to these styles of investment.

Private markets in all their forms, are front of many investors’ minds at the moment. An opportune time therefore to discuss many aspects of the markets with Peter McKellar, Global Head of Private Markets at ASI – and an investor with several decades of experience in this area. What’s changed since Peter first started? Where are the opportunities today? Are private market investors behind or ahead of the ESG curve? What about valuation and leverage. All this and others, discussed with Richard Dunbar.

Populism – what does it mean? Are we reaping the seeds of unfairness sown over the past decade? Is it just the views (and the votes) of the many not the few? What does it mean for economic growth and governance of the global economy? Does this lead to populist central bankers? What of ESG and the values that inform this – surely some of what’s going on at the moment is a turn away from the primacy of GDP as a measure? Richard Dunbar discusses politics and economics with Stephanie Kelly and Paul Diggle.

Private Markets in general and Private Equity in particular have been front of mind for investors of late. Strong returns have already been seen and there remains considerable “dry powder” available from new and existing investors. With opportunities evolving both as an individual asset class and part of a broader multi-asset portfolio, Richard Dunbar discusses all things Private Equity with Graham McDonald and Jennifer Mernagh.

Asia in general and China in particular have been at the forefront of investor thinking both in terms of trade and the efficacy of Chinese monetary and fiscal policy. Richard Dunbar discusses these and broader views of the region’s markets, politics and economics with two of ASI’s senior investors based in the region, Irene Goh and Adam McCabe

Special guests Kevin Johnson (former Syracuse WR) and Richard Dunbar (head coach Fort Lauderdale High) join host Mike McAllister, the latest in Syracuse basketball and football recruiting including Taurean Thompson, Tommy DeVito and the top 2017 Syracuse basketball targets, ridiculous moment of the week and fan questions.

Plot In , scientists Charles Winlett and Derek Moberley discover a pod buried in the , and take it back to their camp. John Stevenson, the base identifies it as vegetable-based and estimates it has been buried in the ice for some twenty thousand years. Back in London, Richard Dunbar of the World Ecology Bureau shows the photographs of the pod. Although he feels that the Doctor cannot help them, his superior Sir Colin Thackeray insisted. The Doctor examines the pictures and believes it to be . He tells Dunbar to contact the expedition by their regular video link, and tell them not to touch it until he arrives. Back at the base, Stevenson discovers that the pod is growing larger and he believes it is absorbing radiation. In England, Dunbar visits the estate of millionaire . Chase's estate is filled with thousands of plants, and he considers it his mission to protect the plant life of . Dunbar has come to show him pictures of the pod, its possible extraterrestrial origin and hints that such a valuable specimen could easily disappear.... for a price. Dunbar gives Chase the location of the pod. Chase calls for one of his men, Scorby, telling him to take Keeler along. At the base, Winlett is half asleep near the pod when it opens up. A frond-like tentacle whips out and stings his arm, causing Winlett to collapse in pain. When Stevenson and Moberley find him, Winlett's face is covered with green . The Doctor and Sarah arrive at the base. In the sickbay, Winlett's body temperature and pulse are dropping rapidly. His face and body are now covered with a green fungus, and its growth is accelerating. The Doctor asks for a blood test on Winlett, who is growing increasingly monstrous, and examines the now-empty pod. Stevenson acknowledges that it may be his fault; convinced that the pod was alive, he placed it under a lamp. Outside the base, the Doctor digs at the ice, uncovering another pod. Noting that the pods travel in pairs, the Doctors transfers it to the base freezer. On analysis, Winlett's blood is found to contain no blood , but instead has — microscopic organisms akin to plant . The sound of engines is heard, and Moberley and Stevenson go meet what they presume is the medical team. The Doctor tells Sarah that Winlett is turning into a , a kind of galactic weed that settles on planets and eats the animal life. Stevenson and Moberley escort two men —Scorby and Keeler— into the base. The new arrivals claim that their private plane got lost and wound up at the base. The Doctor leaves to check on Winlett, taking the others and leaving Scorby and Keeler alone. Moberly is killed by the now muated Winlett. Transformed into a Krynoid it flees the base and shelters in the outside generator hut. Scorby and Keeler -employees of Chase- hold the Doctor and others at gunpoint as they steal the remaining pod. Scorby and Keeler set up a bomb in the generator and escape in their plane. The Doctor and the others get free, but are attacked by the Krynoid, which kills Stevenson. The Doctor and Sarah flee the base as the bomb creates a chain reaction and destroys the whole area. Regaining consciousness in the snow, the Doctor and Sarah are picked up by a team from South Bend in their Snow Cat vehicle. Meanwhile, Scorby and Keller return to Chase in England with the second pod. Dunbar is angered at how far Chase had gone to secure the pod, but warns Chase that the Doctor and Sarah are still alive, and are scheduled to meet with him and Sir Colin in two hours. At the meeting, the Doctor and Sarah describe how well planned the theft of the pod was, but the Doctor believes that the two men were stooges. The discovery of the pod had only been reported to the Ecology Bureau, so the leak must have come from them. He tells Dunbar to arrange for him to go to the Botanic Institute. As they leave the building, a driver meets them claiming to be their ride. However, the limousine stops in the countryside, and the driver orders them out at gunpoint. With a bit of teamwork, the Doctor manages to jump the driver and punch him out. The Doctor and Sarah search the car, and find a painting by Amelia Ducat, one of the world's leading flower artists. When they visit her, Ducat tells them that the owner of the painting is Harrison Chase, and that he never paid her for the painting. Keeler, who is a botanist himself, unsuccessfully tries to convince Chase to stop the experiments on the pod. Chase orders him to inject the pod with fixed . Dunbar calls Chase and tells him that his driver is in the hospital, so when the Doctor and Sarah try to sneak into the mansion, they are spotted by some guards and Scorby, who capture them. The Doctor and Sarah are brought before Chase, and despite having Scorby's gun at his head, the Doctor asks Chase grimly to hand over the pod. Chase politely refuses: He has the greatest collection of plants in the world, and when the pod flowers, it will be his crowning achievement. Before he executes them, Chase decides to show the Doctor and Sarah around the mansion, and his plant laboratory. Keeler notes that the pod is growing, and tells Hargreaves, the butler, to summon Chase to the annex. There, Chase tells Keeler to inject more nitrogen into the pod. Scorby escorts the Doctor and Sarah into the gardens to kill them, but the two manage to overpower Scorby. The Doctor uses rope to lower Sarah down the wall so she can go and warn Sir Colin while he returns to the house to examine the pod. However, Sarah gets captured again. The Doctor makes his way back into the mansion while Sarah is escorted by Scorby back to Chase. The Doctor watches through the skylight, horrified as Chase orders Sarah forced down to a chair, grabbing her arm and pinning it next to the pod. He wants to know what happens when the Krynoid touches human flesh. The Doctor rescues Sarah and in the confusion, a frond from the pod stings Keeler's arm. Keeler begs Chase to get him to a hospital, but Chase is more fascinated with the transformative process than saving Keeler's life. Chase and Hargreaves take Keller to the nearby cottage. When the Doctor returns to the empty laboratory, he is captured by Scorby and a guard, who take him to the compost room. Scorby activates the crusher, remarking that Chase recycles everything. The main gate calls the house: Amelia Ducat is here demanding her money. To avoid a fuss, Chase agrees to see her. Meanwhile, Sarah has entered the cottage, and sees Keeler, who is still lucid, although covered with the Krynoid growth. She escapes back to the house and while in hiding, attracts Ducat's attention and asks her to take a message to Sir Colin. Outside, Ducat enters a car with Sir Colin and Dunbar inside, and tells them what Sarah said. Dunbar, realising he has made a terrible mistake, says he will go in and get the Doctor. He tells Sir Colin that, if he does not return in half an hour, to return to London and call . Sarah finds her way into the compost room and turns off the crusher just in time to save the Doctor. Hargreaves finds that Keeler has now almost completed his transformation, and runs in a panic as the creature frees itself. In the mansion, Dunbar pleads with Chase to abandon the experiment as Hargreaves reports Keeler's transformation to Chase. Dunbar says that this has gone far enough, and he is going to get help. Chase tells Scorby to stop him. Scorby pursues Dunbar through the grounds as the Doctor and Sarah find Keeler missing from the cottage. The Doctor takes a sword from over the fireplace and they leave to search for the Krynoid. Dunbar runs into the monster, which is far larger than the Winlett creature was, and no longer even humanoid. He shoots at it uselessly, and is held fast by the surrounding plant life as the Krynoid kills him. Dunbar's screams attract the attention of Scorby and the guards as well as the Doctor and Sarah. The latter get there first, the Doctor drawing the sword above Dunbar's body as the Krynoid lurches towards them. They manage to escape to a cottage and barricade themselves in. The Krynoid speaks using Keeler's voice, demanding that the Doctor come out and join it and it will spare the others. Scorby is more than willing to give up the Doctor until Sarah Jane points out that without the Doctor they have no chance. The Doctor suggest Scorby rig up a bomb so they can all escape while the Krynoid is distracted. Sir Colin gets through to Major Beresford for assistance and sends Amelia home. Scorby throws his improvised bomb out an upstairs window and the Doctor makes a run for it. The Krynoid goes in pursuit, but the Doctor escapes in the limousine, leaving the Krynoid behind. Scorby tries to find Chase at the greenhouse and discovers where he is from Hargreaves. They begin barricading the windows in preparation for the Krynoid's attack. Chase makes his way through the grounds and confronts the Krynoid. It notices him and he approaches, taking photographs. It moves toward him as Chase claims he doesn't mean it harm. The Doctor arrives at the Bureau as Major Beresford warns he can't do anything without evidence. The Doctor warns the Krynoid can channel its power through other plants, turning vegetation against humans. He shows them a series of reports of deaths of people near Chase's estates being killed by plants. He then calls Sarah Jane and tells them Beresford is preparing to attack the Krynoid with a laser gun, but the Krynoid cuts the phone wires. Chase arrives and tells them that it's the plants' world, and humans are only parasites. He goes to the manor to develop his photographs, then begins speaking to the plants in his greenhouse. Scorby, Sarah Jane, and Hargreaves go in to confront Chase and he speaks of how the world will be made perfect. They can't get through to him as he talks about how he is one with the plants and animals are the enemy. Sarah Jane notices that the plants are closing in on them. The Doctor and a UNIT soldier drive onto the grounds while the plants overwhelm Sarah Jane and the others and start to strangle them. The Doctor and the UNIT soldier, Sgt. Henderson, arrive and brought chemical plant-killer. They dispose of the plants, saving Scorby and Sarah Jane while the older Hargreaves is dead. Chase runs away and the Doctor and the others make their way into the lab and start removing the plants. But once they're outside Chase locks the door behind them and they can only gaze in horror as the now enormous Krynoid towers over them. UNIT soldiers arrive and open fire with their laser gun, distracting the Krynoid so that the Doctor and his group can get to another door. The Doctor believes that Chase is possessed by the Krynoid and determines to find him and eliminate the threat he poses to them from within. After they leave, Chase slips back into the laboratory and destroys the loudspeaker system. Unable to find the millionaire, the others return to the laboratory and the Krynoid tries to break its way in. Scorby starts to panic and wants to run, but the Doctor warns him that every plant on the grounds is under the Krynoid's control. Meanwhile, Chase puts Henderson in the compost machine and activates it, killing the unconscious soldier. The Doctor works to repair the loudspeaker system as the Krynoid renews its attack, and Scorby panics and runs for it. He tries to make his way across the grounds through fields of hostile plants and makes his way across a shallow pond, but the plants grab and pull him underwater, killing him. The Doctor and Sarah Jane realize that Henderson is gone and Sarah Jane goes to look for the soldier. She makes her way to the compost machine room and Chase confronts her, telling him he's become part of the plant world thanks to the Krynoid. Chase plans to support the Krynoid and refers to humanity as parasites, then attacks Sarah Jane and knocks her unconscious. Beresford contacts the Doctor, who warns they have 15 minutes until the Krynoid germinates, spreading its seeds across England. The Doctor tells them to launch an air strike before it's too late, and regardless of the fact he and Sarah Jane are at ground zero. Chase has tied up the unconscious Sarah Jane and starts feeding her into the compost machine. The Doctor arrives, sends Chase flying, and shuts off the machine to untie Sarah Jane. He gets her out but Chase turns the machine back on and throws himself at the Doctor, and the two struggle inside the machine's bin. The Doctor manages to climb out as Chase is pulled into the machine despite the Doctor's efforts to save him. The launches a sighting run as Beresford and Sir Colin look for any signs of the Doctor. Sarah Jane and the Doctor can't get out through the plant life covering the house but the Doctor rigs a steam pipe and they blast their way out. They make their way through the hostile plant life and take refuge in a clearing filled with cut-down trees, as the RAF opens fire and destroys the Krynoid along with the mansion.
