    Is Your Trauma Even Yours? Generational Trauma, ACEs & the Two Arrows

    What does trauma actually mean, and how much of it is yours versus something inherited? Former teacher Tim Short takes a walk through Bootle, just north of Liverpool, to unpack trauma from every angle: adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), generational trauma, the Buddhist story of the two arrows, and how our environment, community and society shape our mental health. It’s a walk about the hard stuff, but also about getting outside, finding joy in nature, and taking small, meaningful steps forward. If anything in this episode brings up difficult feelings, you don’t have to deal with it alone. Samaritans are free to call 24/7 on 116 123, and you can find support at mind.org.uk.

    176 - Ralph James - Gone but not forgotten - Life, Legacy, The Future of the Left

    Today I speak to friend of the podcast Kevin Donnellon about the death in early 2026 of our good friend Ralph James. Ralph was a political animal, a superb intellect, a lovely guy, and a community activist. We chat about our memories of him, his lifetime of campaigning, his legacy, and the current and future condition of the Political Left, of which Ralph was a champion. We also discuss Ralph’s unique quirks and eccentricities and recite a few funny stories!
