    Ruchira Deconstructs

    Journalist Ruchira Sharma tackles the awkward side of popular culture head-on. In this pilot episode, she examines her complicated relationship with yoga, from lockdown YouTube classes to an uncomfortable memory of a Hindu summer camp. Through conversations with yoga teachers Carly Schutt and Ainhoa Acosta, Sanskrit scholar Dr James Mallinson, and psychiatrist Raj Persaud, she explores yoga’s Indian roots, its Western reinvention, the wellness industry, cultural misappropriation, anxiety, and whether yoga needs decolonising. Along the way, Ruchira confronts what yoga means to her as a British Indian woman, and whether reclaiming the practice also means reclaiming parts of herself. Credits: Writer/Narrator - Ruchira Sharma Executive Editor - Tony Phillips Production Management - Emma Stephes Producer - Bernard P Achampong Executive Producer for Spotify - Natalie Tulloch Hosted on Acast.

    The Unacclaimed: Ora Washington

    In 1920s America, one woman dominated two sports simultaneously – yet her name was erased from history. Ora Washington won 23 African American national tennis titles and 11 consecutive Coloured Women’s World Championships in basketball. She was arguably America’s greatest Black female athlete, yet almost nobody knows it. The Unacclaimed travels back to the sounds and textures of early 20th-century America to ask: how do extraordinary legacies disappear? This is a story about forgetting and why some names deserve to be spoken again. Credits: Anne-Marie Batson (Narrator/Writer) Sefa Nkyi (Producer Drew Christie (Writer) Marc Farey (Sound Design) Natalie Tulloch (Executive Producer) Unedited for Spotify Sound Up. Hosted on Acast.
