  • Sanitised discussion

    Was a fan until the discussion around UNHCR and refugees… and not once was Gaza and what’s happening to Palestinians was mentioned.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

In This Together - Fighting Misogyny: A Podcast of One’s Own Live
Q: How do we make this vision of gender equality work, especially when online misogyny is monetised?
The panel recommends investing in healthy content creators, changing and regulating social media algorithms, teaching digital literacy, and using media literacy to help boys recognize who profits from misogynistic messages.
In This Together - Fighting Misogyny: A Podcast of One’s Own Live
Q: What do we mean by misogyny?
Michelle Ryan says misogyny includes hatred and mistreatment of women, but also enforces patriarchy by policing the behavior of men, boys and anyone who challenges its expectations.
Julia's Book Club – Elif Shafak on her new novel, In One Brief Moment All Eternity
Q: You were prosecuted over your works in Turkey. Is that something that drew you to Flaubert and why you've centered the novel on him?
Shafak says she related to Flaubert's trial because she was prosecuted over The Bastard of Istanbul, accused of insulting Turkishness, and later faced investigations of other books for obscenity. She connects these experiences to the vulnerability of writers when authorities restrict expression.
Julia's Book Club – Elif Shafak on her new novel, In One Brief Moment All Eternity
Q: Why Gustave Flaubert? What led you to him and inspired you to make a writer?
Shafak was thinking about the role of literature during crisis and sought guidance from writers of the past. She wanted to recast Flaubert's story through the women who shaped his life, rather than leave it told only from his perspective.
Sharon Bhagwan-Rolls on building peace and fighting for climate justice
Q: What does it mean to redesign the table in climate justice work, and how do you see it playing out in practice?
She emphasizes moving beyond symbolism to ensure local communities, women, youth, and civil society have real influence in decision-making, with funding and processes that reflect accountability and inclusion.
