Prepare for the episode:

Today, I’m joined by Lorna who has chosen the text we’ll be talking about this week:

1) What If You Could Do It All Over? The uncanny allure of our unlived lives.

https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2020/12/21/what-if-you-could-do-it-all-over

I recommend you read this article before listening to the conversation (that’s what this podcast is all about, after all) but the chat will still make sense if you don’t!

Lorna works in higher education, helping universities reach their audiences. She’s passionate about education, running, and reading - she’s part of a feminist book club! She also runs her own podcast, Destination Unknown, all about people’s varied and twisting career paths.

You can find Destination Unknown here: https://open.spotify.com/show/5oqoBxz9QB4uFzdYAiMNa4?si=Rj1IsRXpSl2Sc2m5AR8oHg

Today, I’m joined by Bistra who has chosen the video we’ll be talking about this week:

1) Walking On Eggshells: Coercive Control in the UK

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cbx2q-hGgAc 

I recommend you watch this video before listening to our conversation - it’s a really powerful mini-documentary on coercive control, a form of domestic abuse.

Bistra is an English teacher and you can find her on Instagram @english_with_bistra
