    MEXICO: the power of people/inclusivity and judgment/the meaning of resilience and how to practice gratitude

    Today we speak to speaker and life consultant Jose Carlos (JC) in his home office in Tijuana, Mexico. JC and I met through a podcast network and his enthusiasm for this project and his commitment to creating in a crisis really stood out for me. And as it is the International Day of Persons with Disabilities today, December 3, JC's episode was important to share as he highlights so eloquently the particular challenges Covid has brought to people who are living with a disability. * Every seventh person alive today – more than 1 billion people in total – lives with some form of disability. Despite this persons with disabilities are still overwhelmingly overlooked in times of emergency, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. What did this mean for JC personally? * When we spoke it was the height of lockdown in Mexico, and the challenges Mexico faced in particular due to late shut down, high numbers hospitalised and lack of resources; * the power of people, and what he is missing without this physical contact. * the power of awareness and how that has changed in a quieter, slower world. * What resilience means to JC and how gratitude is the cornerstone of his approach to life.

    It is a year from the date that the World Health Organisation declared Covid a global pandemic and exactly 365 days since today's guest, Mario, set foot on a plane - an anniversary of deep significance for this international aid worker, sitting in the corner of his home where he has carved out an office, overlooking a sea of skyscrapers in Dubai * Dubai, known internationally for its jaw dropping architecture and multicultural buzz, Mario paints a vivid picture about what happened in this city that never slept before this year.  * the challenges faced by international aid workers globally - during the expected and unexpected of the worst of the Covid pandemic. *What happens when our countries' leaders deny the crisis and a question we may ask - who will be held accountable? * what it meant to deliver aid to help people where they never thought it would be needed - in Italy and America and how we capture the stories, the voices of those that cannot speak for themselves * What it means to say "I am Pro Science" in 2021 and what we all need right now - the rallying cry to action within all our power.

    ZIMBABWE: On writing and loving, protest and crackdowns

    Day 134 and we speak to poet Togara Muzanenhamo at his writing desk in Harare, Zimbabwe. We spoke at an incredibly tense time in Zimbabwe and covered what was happening out on the street, but also how Togara was carving out space during the crisis to write. Including at the end of the episode a beautiful quiet and transporting reading of one of his works that he had written during lockdown - an extract from long form poem, Sundogs. * Zimbabwe's economy in collapse and the very real danger of a pandemic in this context, with healthcare workers striking to protest Government corruption * a new wave of protests were taking place as we spoke sparked by the arrest of a prominent journalist and activist and it was suspected that the Government was using Covid to implement a crackdown on protestors and to put a curfew in place * we speak about working within a crisis and how to create a refuge in writing when the world is going mad around you * the surprising new intimacy created during this time This episode was recorded on 10 August 2020 ***** Guest Insights Togara read from his poem, Sundogs, that he has been working on during lockdown. It details the 1910-12 Japanese Antarctic Expedition lead by Lieutenant Nobu Shirase. Sundogs will appear in Togara's  collection of poems 'Virga' published by Carcanet Press in August 2021. Virga retells stories of the twentieth century using the weather and the memory of the wind.

    VIETNAM Lunar NY Special:How has Vietnam become such a virus success story with not one single death from Coronavirus? Re-release

    Its Lunar New Year and the Year of the Ox! As a love letter to those that celebrate this beautiful holiday a re-release of our Vietnam episode to celebrate the lunar new year or Tết  - a shortened form of Tết Nguyên Đán meaning "Festival of the First Morning of the First Day" We spoke to Creighton at his desk in a dark noisy night in the capital Ho Chi Minh City. A fascinating episode from back in June 2020 where we discussed how despite proximity to China, Vietnam, a densely populated country of 97 million and a developing infrastructure has been a success story - with only 300 cases of Coronavirus and not a single death. Figures that to this day remain EXTREMELY low and could so easily have gone the other way. We talk about why and how Vietnam has handled things so well, what is different in the attitude in America We were just at the beginning of the year that was to be, but Creighton spoke movingly and with great thought about how to put self-care at the very centre to help you cope with the personal and professional upheaval so many are going through.
