    Arsenal Fans & Antisemitism with Katie Price

    Arsenal Fans & Antisemitism with Katie Price

    Earlier this year, commedian Katie Price was trying watching a football game in a London pub when she was the victim of antisemitism, aimed at her by her fellow team's fans. The incident and the way it was dealt with by management rightfully sparked outrage, and reignited an important discussion about antisemitism in modern Britain. 
    Katie spoke to Diversify's Kate and Holly about what happened that day, why people seem so content to brush off anti-Jewish behaviour , and what football needs to do next.

    Ending Workplace Bullying and Dancing in your Underwear with Meriel Beale

    In the wake of the recent Noel Clarke allegations it's never been more important to tackle workplace bullying and harassment, and Meriel Beale is at the forefront of the push for change.

    This week we chatted to Meriel about her anti-bullying campaign "Unseen On Screen", as well as "Cheer Up Love", which offers comedy professionals a forum to discuss sensitive subjects in a safe environment.

    But this is Diversify, so we also swapped stories of mistaken identity, favourite musicals, and why we should feel free to dance like no-one's watching!!

    Follow Meriel on Twitter at @MerielBeale and check out her projects @UnseenOnScreen_ and @cheeruploveorg too!

    Writing the Secret Diary of a British Muslim with Tez Ilyas

    Comedian Tez Ilyas has written a book and he's pretty proud of it! Holly and Kate were also pretty proud to have him on the podcast.

    From growing up as a Muslim in 90's Blackburn to finding his drag name with the help of our hosts, this episode is full of "top bantz" and of course, our standard sociological hot takes. 

    Join us for the latest episode of #DiversifyPod where we journey from pre-9/11 England, all the way to the post-Olympics wasteland of 2021. It's not to be missed!
    Tez's book can be found at: https://www.waterstones.com/book/the-secret-diary-of-a-british-muslim-aged-13-3-4/tez-ilyas/9780751582185
