  • S4|Ep4 - GenZ Voice: "Life in Contrast"

    Welcome to Season 4 of UnMute Now Podcast! 

    For this season, we are sharing the table with a dynamic group of young ladies from Northern Ireland. The young ladies were part of our Summer 2022 Mentorship development programme which culminated in them learning the basics of podcasting. Tune is as they share their views on some of the whispered conversations in the Gen Z generation and raise their voices and the volume on a range of varied topics. Let's empower and show these brave young ladies some LOVE!

    In this episode our young ladies take the reins all by themselves as they discuss the joys and pains of navigating different cultures in their daily lives. We think they did a great job! What do you think?

  • 10: "Wrap & Reflect"

    Hi guys, in this final episode of Season 3, we had the pleasure of having 3 of our lovely audience members live on the podcast with us and we had a blast! Plenty of laugh out loud funny moments as we reflected on what was a 'rollercoaster', 'whirlwind' and 'dramatic' season and relived some of our blooper moments. It was so encouraging to hear from our guests the impact that UnMute Now has had on them and the wider community and we thank you for being part of our journey. 

    Special thanks to Resourcing Racial Justice who funded this season, to James Rea of Bohemian Belfast for his invaluable support throughout this season, to all our guests and of course, to you our amazing audience. 

    Do keep in contact with us on our socials and check out our new website: www.ukpivot.com, where we will be sharing some of the initiatives, projects and workshops that we will be leading and collaborating on during our season break. We look forward to seeing you the in Season 4!

  • 9: "The Race Card"

    Hi guys, in this penultimate episode of season 3, we tackle a very emotive subject - the issue of 'playing the race card'. There were some passionate contributions in this episode and a general consensus that this was probably a topic that needed to be revisited in the future. You may be surprised at some interesting thoughts shared about who really holds the card and how it is played in reality. Have you ever been accused of playing the race card? Have you ever felt unable to speak up about an issue because of fear that you would be accused of playing the race card? We'd love to hear your thoughts and experiences so please do get in touch with us and share. 

    We are also pleased to have had invaluable contributions on this episode from our guests, Nusrat Faizullah and Farzana Khan of Resourcing Racial Justice - the organisation that has funded season 3 of the UnMuteNow podcast. Hear them share about the very important work they've been doing in the area of funding for issues and work that are often overlooked by mainstream funders. 

    For this season, we are airing our episodes LIVE on our Facebook page and You Tube channel every Friday at 8pm GMT! Next Friday, why not join us and participate live in our conversations!

  • 8: "Navigating Friendships"

    Episode Description:

    Hi Everyone.  Thanks for tuning in and sorry for the late upload. 

    In this episode, we give a shout out to good friends who have shown themselves to be more valuable than money in our pockets, and discuss whether losing track of time when with friends, is a good thing or bad thing. What are your thoughts?  Would you see those friends as needy? Would you see them as such good company, you don't care about the time? Do you agree with one member of the audience that friends who know you well, know when it's time to leave?  Another audience member asked about reciprocity in friendships.  What do you think? Join the conversation and let us know!

    For this season, we are airing our episodes LIVE on our Facebook page and You Tube channel every Friday at 8pm GMT! Next Friday, why not join us and participate live in our conversations!

  • 7: "Dealing With Workplace Grievances"

    Hi guys, in this episode, the ladies are joined by Patricia Coulter, Knowledge Manager at the Labour Relations Agency, to discuss some of the most common workplace grievances and how to handle them. Patricia provides very valuable insight into the work of the agency and how it interacts with employees, employers, and trade unions. Together, Patricia and the hosts tease out some scenarios and Patricia provides tips and advice on how to handle them. Packed with useful and practical advice, this episode is an eye opener on options you may not have been aware of that can help you or someone you know.

  • 6: "The He(art) of Giving"
    Hi guys, in this festive episode, we discuss the question of what to do with unwanted or unsuitable gifts. Is it ok to re-gift, return or even sell them? Do you feel the pressure to give gifts to others because they gave to you? Do you feel pressure to give 'everybody' you know or are you more selective in your approach? The ladies also discuss the most random gifts they've ever received, with some rather saucy contributions from the audience. With a carol sung by Angela to start and a poem written and read by one of our lovely listeners to end, this is sure to get you in a festive mood. Here's wishing you and yours a wonderful Christmas and happy holidays!

  • 5: "Positive Discrimination"

    In this episode, the ladies discuss the controversial topic of positive discrimination. What it mean vis a vis positive action and affirmative action. Is there a case for making it legal in the UK? What should organisations be doing to increase diversity within their workforces? These and other questions are discussed very candidly and openly by the hosts, raising the volume on a conversation that is sometimes uncomfortable to have.
