Wir haben leider keine guten News: Der Podcast «Tages-Anzeigerin» geht Ende Jahr in eine Pause. Das macht uns ebenso traurig wie euch - der Austausch mit euch und die vielen Rückmeldungen, die wir von euch erhalten, haben uns dieses Jahr extrem gefreut und motiviert, uns jeden Donnerstag am Mikrofon zu treffen! Danke dafür.Wir würden uns gerade deshalb umso mehr freuen, euch nochmal zu sehen an unserem Live-Podcast im Kaufleuten in Zürich am 16. Dezember. Tickets können hier (https://kaufleuten.ch/event/tages-anzeigerin-podcast-1/) gekauft werden - oder macht mit an unserer Verlosung von 5x2 Tickets. Schreibt eine E-Mail mit dem Betreff «Tages-Anzeigerin» und euerem Vor- und Nachnamen an podcasts@tamedia.ch. Wir sehen uns!Klischierte Frauenrollen oder endlich die starken Frauen im Zentrum? Einfach unterhaltsam oder vor allem problematisch? Divers und feministisch? Reality-TV-Formate wie «Selling Sunset», «Love Island» oder «Love Is Blind» erfreuen sich immer grösserer Beliebheit – haben aber oft ein schlechtes Image. Sie sind für viele ein sogenanntes «guilty pleasure» – auf Deutsch ein heimliches Vergnügen.Wieso dieser Ausdruck genauso wie «Trash TV» schwierig ist, darüber sprechen Kerstin Hasse und Annik Hosmann in der neusten Folge «Tages-Anzeigerin». Ausserdem sprechen sie über feministische Ambivalenz, gesellschaftlichen Druck und die Scham, die mit dem Schauen von Reality TV einhergeht. Und sie diskutieren darüber, wieso sie bislang noch kaum eine Argumentation überzeugen konnte, dass Reality-TV feministisch ist.Hosts: Annik Hosmann & Kerstin HasseProduzentin: Sara SpreiterWas wird wann diskutiert:02:50 Schlagzeilen05:50 Hauptthema Reality TV30:20 TippsLinks:Artikel im Tages-Anzeiger über die Betreuungs-Finanzierung «Ihr Kind geht einen Tag pro Woche in die Kita?

Journalist Sirin Kale returns to the show to talk about how and why content feeds change when a social media platform detects that you might be pregnant, and how weird, often dangerous content is targeted at new parents. Sirin shares her own experiences with navigating platforms while looking after a newborn, the comfort that it can provide new parents when other institutions are absent, and how to resist the abundance of online parenting content. -------- PALESTINE AID LINKS As the humanitarian crisis continues to unfold in Gaza, we encourage anyone who can to donate to Medical Aid for Palestinians.

Guardian journalist Sirin Kale's new podcast, Can I Tell You A Secret?, explores how a cyberstalker wreaked havoc across the internet and ruined people's lives. She chats to Jen about obsession, fear, the lives we lead online, and how the police and CPS are letting victims of cyberstalking down. Back on September 8, Hannah chatted to actors Kate Fahy and Marion Bailey about playing Margaret Thatcher and The Queen in Moira Buffini's play Handbagged. That's right, September 8. Just hours later the Queen died, and so we've held onto this interview for a little while. The play is still running (at The Kiln Theatre, London, until Oct 29) and Hannah, Kate and Marion's chat is still a corker. In JOTB, Jen's looking at various internationals and doing some announcer practice, and in BT, there's good energy, bad energy, and a whole lot of Hands. Plus, Mick girds her loins as she throws a much-loved film to the Rated or Dated wolves. Rob Reiner's 1987 fantasy adventure comedy The Princess Bride is a firm favourite in the Noonan household, but what do Hannah and Jen make of it?

The dumbest genre in entertainment, or the one that tells us the most about ourselves? Since its conception, reality TV has divided its viewers. Introducing Unreal: A Critical History of Reality TV, a new 10-part audio documentary written and presented by journalists Pandora Sykes and Sirin Kale. They've been fans of reality TV since they first watched Big Brother as pre-teens and they've spent a fair amount of time defending reality tv when people are snobby about it, or dismiss its importance in our wider culture. But they've also been troubled by what they've seen in the genre: the exploitation; the lack of aftercare; the impacts of sudden fame. Using interviews with the creators, producers and stars of some of the most iconic reality shows of the last two decades, and leading cultural critics of today, Unreal explores how reality TV has shaped entertainment, fashion, beauty, celebrity and even politics - and some of the ethical questions raised by the format.

Clinicians around the world have noticed an increase in young adults, often women, developing ‘tic-like behaviours' – sudden movements or vocalisations similar to what's seen in Tourette Syndrome. Except these tics come on much later in life, and escalate more rapidly. Some have blamed the recent rise on social media – but the reality is much more complicated. Madeleine Finlay talks to Guardian reporter Sirin Kale and research psychologist Dr Seonaid Anderson about the young people experiencing this debilitating disorder, and what can be done about it..

This week, we're joined by Sirin Kale (@thedalstonyears), a writer for The Guardian, GQ and Vogue, to talk about Nextdoor - the billion dollar app that has taken over local neighbourhoods, and has its own wikipedia section entirely dedicated to 'racial controversies'. We discuss how this app has simulated the 'idea' of a neighbourhood as a surveillance project, that incentivises curtain twitching and snitching, while also eradicating the material functions required to actually build and sustain a local community. That means that Nextdoor ends up becoming a bizarre clone of Facebook, but with more hyper-specific forms of racism, even more minions memes, and endless flame wars between moderators and users that, crucially, seeps out into the real world too. We also talk about 'Salt Bae', why so many people are going to his restaurant in order to post their receipts, and whether 'Salt Bae' is the logical end point of the experience economy - one in which, rather than enjoying your time, you pursue things in order to make other people online as mad as possible. ----more---- Ten Thousand Posts is a show about how everything is posting.

I had a conversation with Professor Joe Elliott, Durham University, and Principal of Collingwood College, because of my interest in supporting children and young people with reading and spelling difficulties. In this talk, Joe and I discuss; the challenges of identifying dyslexia using pre-definedcriteria, highlight factors that maintain the need for a diagnosis of dyslexia, and explore the role of intelligence tests. We finish the conversation with the role of the educational psychologist and how to instill hope to support all learners with reading and spelling difficulties.I hope you enjoy the talk!Dr Nazam Hussain (Educational Psychologist)See below for links to references discussed in the talk.

In this episode we're discussing how so often women are mistreated and misrepresented in the media. This isn't a new phenomenon but the recent conversations surrounding Meghan Markle and Britney have bought it back in the spotlight and we felt it was too important to ignore. We also speak honestly about how we've been complicit in this narrative and how we can all start to make take responsibility and make a change.

Uncovering the personal stories of people who died from COVID-19, Sirin Kale's Guardian series Lost To The Virus has become one of the most moving reporting feats of the year. She tells Dorian Lynskey about the truth behind the biggest human story of our generation, the special challenges of reporting at a distance, why the “carnage” in our care homes still isn't understood, and why so many COVID deaths were avoidable.“I hadn't expected just how callous some decision-making from central government could be.”“A clear decision was made that some lives were worth saving and some weren't.”“The only way you can make sense of the pandemic is through the individual”“I get to tell these stories with the depth and humanity that they deserve.”“111 is going to be one of the scandals of this pandemic. It was nakedly obvious that it was not fit for purpose.”“I hope there won't be a need for Lost To The Virus part 2 – but I'm not optimistic”Presented by Dorian Lynskey. Produced by Andrew Harrison.

The question of who gets diagnosed with dyslexia and who then receives support was one of many that Guardian journalist Sirin Kale found herself examining when she began a year-long investigation into the condition. But what surprised her most was how fiery the conversation around this condition had become, with some asking whether the term dyslexia should even exist.

The Tropical MBA Podcast - Entrepreneurship, Travel, and Lifestyle
"Dropshipping" is one of the most used and abused terms in Digital Nomad circles. It refers to the practice of selling items without keeping inventory on hand, relying instead on a third-party manufacturer to ship the items directly to the customer. The term recently reached a much broader audience through a widely-shared piece in Wired magazine by Sirin Kale titled “‘It’s bullshit’: Inside the weird, get-rich-quick world of dropshipping”. On today's podcast, Dan and Ian weigh in with some of their own thoughts about the article, whether dropshipping can be used to create long-term success, and the pros and cons of the business model itself.
The work of the playwright and screenwriter Mike Bartlett has become a staple of the theatre and television landscape with his plays, such as Bull, winning prizes, his television dramas, such as Dr Foster, tantalising viewers, and productions such as King Charles III having a life on both stage and small screen. Now he’s written a new ITV drama serial - Sticks & Stones - about workplace bullying. He joins Kirsty to discuss the dark side of office banter. Looking at art is very popular. Last year 5.9 million people visited Tate Modern, that’s more than those who went to the British Museum. But a visit to a gallery, especially to one of the blockbuster exhibitions such as Tate Britain’s William Blake show or the Leonardo da Vinci at the Louvre in Paris is not always a comfortable experience. Sometimes they are so crowded that you can’t actually see the art. We discusses this dilemma and explore how exhibitions are staged and visitors managed. Sirin Kale, who has written about being elbowed in the ribs at the William Blake exhibition sets out the difficulties and Jennifer Scott, co-curator of the ‘mindful’ Rembrandt’s Light show at the Dulwich Picture Gallery, which includes a room with just a single painting, explains changing approaches to make going to exhibitions more enjoyable. Any One Thing is an immersive theatre company with a difference. Plot and prop details of their shows are tailored to individual audience members through use of software and technology more usually used for marketing and advert personalisation. Paul Farnell and Justin Fyles, the tech entrepreneurs behind the company explain their unique blend of fringe theatre and personal data. Presenter: Kirsty Lang Producer: Hilary Dunn

What's the fascination with films books and television programmes like Killing Eve where the story centres on women obsessed with other women? Author Joanna Briscoe and journalist Sirin Kale discuss.We hear why a UK wide coalition of women's organisations, represented by the Centre for Women's Justice, has begun legal action against the Crown Prosecution Service claiming that rape cases are being dropped because of a change in policy and practice. Beth and Gina tell us what happened to them and Rachel Krys the co-founder of End Violence Against Women tells us what the coalition is hoping to achieve.Food writer Jack Monroe Cooks the Perfect....Cannellini Beurre Blanc.Emma Land and Tontschy Gerig tell us how the struggled to find work after a long period off.The Booker Prize winner for fiction Arundhati Roy tells us about her new book of political essays focusing on environmental degradation, government elites and the impact on the poorest and most marginalised people in India.Ell Potter and Mary Higgins tell us about their theatre show Hotter.Presented by Jane Garvey Produced by Rabeka Nurmahomed Edited by Jane Thurlow
With the second series of the BBC's Killing Eve underway, Villanelle and Eve continue their obsession with each other. We discuss why the obsession women have for other women has become such a familiar dramatic theme – from Mrs Danvers in Rebecca, to Notes on a Scandal - with writer, Joanna Briscoe and journalist, Sirin Kale. We examine what is behind the resurgence in popularity of twentieth century political thinker, Hannah Arendt and The Origins of Totalitarianism with Professor Lyndsey Stonebridge. Why do so many feel her writing chimes with contemporary politics? And we look at why a number of women's groups are planning to launch a legal action against the Crown Prosecution Service, saying it's failing to prosecute cases of rape. We hear from Rachel Krys, one of the founders of End Violence Against women, and two women whose cases were dropped. Presenter: Jenni Murray Producer: Ruth Watts

In this episode, we round off our special two-week series on sex work by talking to Kai, a sex worker and DJ in Atlanta, Georgia. Kai is a wonderful, funny person and, in our chat, he shares some really important insights about different kinds of sex work, how sex workers take care of themselves and each other, and about the disastrous real-life implications the SESTA-FOSTA bills have for sex workers. We also talk to Kai about his life story. We talk about having to move from coast to coast as a kid and make new friends in completely different kinds of cities. We talk about finding friends in different groups, and about being a total band kid. We talk about his time at college, we talk about his job delivering weed on his bike all over the city, and we talk about the time Kai met his first client as a sex worker. And we talk about the crucial need for non-sex-worker (“civilian”) allies to speak up in support of sex workers, and to be as loud as possible. Additional links/info below...

In Part II of our bonus episode in this special Working People series on sex work, we chat to the amazing Alex Andrews, an organizer, former sex worker, and co-founder of SWOP Behind Bars, part of the Sex Workers Outreach Project. SWOP Behind Bars “is a national social justice network dedicated to the fundamental human rights of people who face discrimination from the criminal justice system due to the stigma associated with the sex trade.” We talk to Alex about what led her to get involved with SWOP Behind Bars and about the vital work they and other sex worker rights groups are doing to protect and advocate for sex workers around the country.

This is a slightly more condensed episode in which the TF crew discusses an idiotic Sunday Times piece about 'hipster fascists,' but more importantly it's an episode centred on the campaign in Ireland to repeal the 8th Amendment. Riley (@raaleh), Milo (@Milo_Edwards), and Hussein (@HKesvani) speak with journalist Sirin Kale (@thedalstonyears) about Irish abortion laws, the impending referendum, and whether or not the uniforms of the royal wedding were inspired by Steven Seagal. If you're in Ireland and can vote, make sure to do so — unless you're going to vote incorrectly, in which case you should bin yourself immediately. Please remember that, in these trying and dark times, you can always commodify your dissent with a t-shirt from Lil' Comrade (http://www.lilcomrade.com/). Please help us support a fellow socialist's small business!
