Getting Better Acquainted

In GBA 330 we get better acquainted with Miranda. We talk writing, working, true storytelling and lots more. She's been running There Goes The Neighborhood - a night showcasing established and upcoming writing - for a few years and is currently in the middle of putting out the podcast project, 100 Voices For 100 Years, which is releasing a piece of writing from a woman every day for 100 days to commemorate the centenary of (some) women getting the right to vote.

It's another episode of GBA Replayed which showcases some of the conversations recorded in the early years of Getting Better Acquainted.

----------------

In GBA 113 we get better acquainted with Donna. She talks about fitting in, sticking out, dressing up, social awkwardness, creating your own reality, dancing, working with children and more.

Donna is a very unique person and we met in her very unique office filled with the interesting bric a brac that she uses to entertain children. She discusses the time when she would only wear green clothes and talks about spending her free time inside her inner world.

Donna plugs:

"The idea that other things do exist outside of normality... You can just say, 'that doesn't exist in my world, so I'll just tunnel vision my way to the end. I can see the end, so I'll head for the end and then die.'"

In GBA 326 we get better acquainted with Tobi from the Arts Performed Podcast. We'd already warmed up by the time we recorded this conversation with me recording an interview for his podcast and so we get into things pretty quickly. Tobi talks cultural studies, artist and resistance, navigating the world with ADHD and dyslexia, how his relationship with being the child of a Guyanese migrant has changed over his life, systems of oppression, what he has learnt from people he has interviewed on his podcast and so much more.

Content note: racism, slavery, colonialism

It's another episode of GBA Replayed which showcases some of the conversations recorded in the early years of Getting Better Acquainted.

------------

In GBA 66 we get better acquainted with Iris. Sitting in my childhood home away from home we talk about Histories: personal, social, local and shared.

Our conversation goes places - the excitement of London in the 60's, visiting Germany after WW2, providing educational support and assistance to disabled students, the psycho-geography of cities, the use of the word chav and discovering the heritage of a tiny part of Coventry are some of those places.

Oh yeah, and we talk about what I was like when I was 12.

Iris Plugs:

"Don't keep hankering about going a long way away to find things out, look on your doorstep because often the answer is there, and look at your own environment and learn from it, and sortof... put your roots down where you are."

And the Willenhall Local History Group that she is the secretary for and the Virtual Museum Coventry: http://www.virtualmuseum.co.uk/

She has just set up an excellent blog for the Group: http://willenhallcov.blogspot.co.uk/
