Welcome to the Heard Storytelling podcast, where we celebrate the transformative power of spoken storytelling. Join us for intimate conversations with storytellers from all walks of life, as we delve into the personal journeys that led them to share their stories and the impact that sharing had on their lives.
We also examine how these stories affect the listener, fostering empathy and connection, and inspiring positive change.
Episodes drop on Mondays and Fridays. Each Monday, a storyteller shares their personal story, followed by a discussion with Caroline and Colette. Fridays feature Briefly Heard episodes, offering a story from the Heard story bank with insights into its crafting and the collaboration behind it.
Join us as we explore how spoken storytelling helps us connect with ourselves, each other, and the world around us. Get ready to be moved, inspired, and challenged by the depth and authenticity of these true spoken tales.

In this special episode, we are joined by Figen Murray, who has channelled her profound grief into advocating for improved public safety measures through Martyn's Law, inspired by a moment of realisation at a Katie Melua concert about the lack of security.
Figen shares how, as a mother who has faced unimaginable loss, she has tirelessly worked to create a safer world for other families. She discusses transforming her grief into action. Her work now includes significant education efforts, as she teaches young people about the dangers of radicalisation and the power of kindness.
Join us to gain insights into the personal and public challenges Figen has navigated, the community that has rallied around her, and the ongoing influence she hopes to have on public safety and counter terrorism.
