Podcast appearances and mentions of Sally Nicholls

It was a great pleasure for this week's Nostalgia Interviews podcast to meet Sally Nicholls who was at Lampeter from 1992-95 where she studied Welsh. Originally from Llantrisant, Sally grew up in the countryside, and she talks about her passion for horse riding, which she even accomplished in India. Sally could have gone to university in Bangor, North Wales, but ended up in Lampeter, a place with which she fell in love. Living in a Welsh speaking community was an extra bonus. We learn that Sally cannot ever remember not speaking Welsh and has been working in the area of Welsh language education since 1996. Sally's favourite childhood film was The Wizard of Oz and she enjoyed Jason Donovan when she was growing up, and is, to this day, a huge fan of Neil Diamond, whom she has seen perform around the world, including at three venues in America, and nearly saw him in Australia. She has also written to another of her idols, Michael Palin, and we find out why he is the only man who has ever left Sally lost for words, and how she postponed the start of a holiday to Turkey so that she could see him in Cardiff. We find out how Sally got the travel bug, including the three months she spent in Patagonia. It wasn't the best time to go because it is when Covid hit, and which significantly impacted on what she was able to do while there. Sally talks about the huge differences of experience of dealing with Covid in South America compared with the UK. Sally talks about the positive experiences that can be gleaned from that period, and we talk too about what we think it would have been like in Lampeter if the pandemic had hit then in the 1990s. We also talk about what from Sally's undergraduate days feels strange from today's perspective, including the evolution over the years from cash to contactless payments. Then, at the end of the interview, we find out what Sally's younger self would have thought about the route she has taken, and whether she is a looking back or a looking forward kind of person, and why for Sally it is important to live in the present moment.

In our final episode for our Literature for Equality project we look into the suffrage movement in Britain during World War One and talk about the fight for women's rights- the right to vote, the right for an education and the right to have a job. Today these are things a lot of us take for granted but not too long ago, this was not a given. We are where we are today by standing on the shoulders of these plucky women.

As we’ll hear, Julia's writing and teaching careers developed side by side. I wanted to talk to her because over 60 students on her courses at Bath Spa have gone on to be published writers, some, like Elen Caldecott and Sally Nicholls, with stellar careers.We talk about Julia’s path to teaching, and how it feeds her writing, the importance of staying grounded and keeping the day job, getting a PhD after a career and bringing up children, and the effect of lockdown on writing. We also discuss the process and the benefits of something like an MA in creative writing. They’re not for everyone, but with the focus on workshops, on experimentation, and on reading as a writer, they have a lot to offer. These are ideas you can take for your writing too, however you do it.Julia talks about the importance of keeping writing alive, rather than getting too serious about black and white lines on a screen. I like that.

In this episode of the MRX Lab from FlexMR, we speak with Sally Nicholls on how to approach the design stage of the research process. Drawing on years of industry experience, Sally highlights a number of the common challenges that insight professionals often face, and practical ways to overcome them. In particular, we discuss the role of robust debate - finding the common ground between insight professionals and stakeholders. Additionally, Sally draws attention to the real world considerations that must be factored into effective research design and cautions against an over-reliance on the research question alone. --- Presented by: Chris Martin, CMO @ FlexMR (CJ_24K) Featuring: Sally Nicholls, Insight Manager @ FlexMR For more info on FlexMR, visit www.flexmr.net Or connect via LinkedIn / Twitter / Facebook

In the second episode of the MRX Lab, we investigate what it takes to make research happen. Joined by Gareth Bowden and Sally Nicholls from FlexMR, the episode explores the common challenges and pitfalls that can hold up a project before it even gets off the ground – from business-wide input to budgetary decisions and sudden, unexpected developments. We also discuss the ways in which insight professionals can avoid and mitigate the impact of these challenges – speeding up the research process and driving improvements in efficiency. Gareth highlights the importance of a reliable network, while Sally underlines the need for flexibility and adaptability to change. --- Presented by: Chris Martin, CMO @ FlexMR (CJ_24K) Featuring: Gareth Bowden, Research Project Manager @ FlexMR, and Sally Nicholls, Insight Manager @ FlexMR For more info on FlexMR, visit www.flexmr.net Or connect via LinkedIn / Twitter / Facebook

Author of THINGS A BRIGHT GIRL CAN DO, Sally Nicholls, joins host Grace F Victory to discuss smashing the patriarchy, 5-storey bookshops, and why everyone should want to be Pippi Longstocking!

In this podcast, Sally Nicholls talks to Nikki Gamble about her latest novel, The Things a Bright Girl Can Do. Through rallies and marches, in polite drawing rooms and freezing prison cells and the poverty-stricken slums of the East End, three courageous young women join the fight for the vote. Evelyn is seventeen, and though she is rich and clever, she may never be allowed to follow her older brother to university. Enraged that she is expected to marry her childhood sweetheart rather than be educated, she joins the Suffragettes, and vows to pay the ultimate price for women's freedom. May is fifteen, and already sworn to the cause, though she and her fellow Suffragists refuse violence. When she meets Nell, a girl who's grown up in hardship, she sees a kindred spirit. Together and in love, the two girls start to dream of a world where all kinds of women have their place. But the fight for freedom will challenge Evelyn, May and Nell more than they ever could believe. As war looms, just how much are they willing to sacrifice?
