Breaking Hate with Christian Picciolini

E

JK Rowling. Donald Trump. Central Park Karen. There's a lot of hate attacking our community and friends right now. Should we try to understand it? Where does it come from and how can we safely engage with people that hate us? James and Dan catch up with Christian Picciolini, a former neo-Nazi skinhead who has dedicated his life to preventing extremism and helping people to disengage from hate movements and other violent ideologies. Trigger warning. This episode contains depictions of violent attacks. Christian talks about his time inside the white supremacy movement, how conversations with black and LGBTQ+ people helped him change direction, and why some minorities can end up embracing extremism.

The London Patient: A Cure for HIV? Part 1

We've heard about 'expendable' populations before, but last time they meant gay people. 32 million people have died of AIDS related illnesses since the 1980s and in 2018, 770,000 people died worldwide because of the virus. The London Patient: A Cure For HIV? is the first episode in a brand new two-part series - funded by the Wellcome Trust and the British Podcast Awards Fund. Both episodes were recorded in accordance with government social distancing measures. This week, we look at the start of the epidemic, chat to AIDS activist Sir Nick Partridge OBE and head to Oxford to meet Professor John Frater who explains the science behind HIV. Trigger warning: Contains upsetting audio. Incredible advances in medicine now mean that if you are HIV+ and on effective treatment, you can’t pass it on. Undetectable = Untransmittable. And in March 2019, it was revealed that a second person had been cured of HIV - The London Patient. What does the London Patient’s story tell us about a cure for HIV? Plus in the age of Covid19, can the story of HIV and AIDS offer the world any hope?

Leaving the Westboro Baptist Church with Megan Phelps-Roper

E

The Westboro Baptist Church, notorious for picketing funerals and spreading homophobia, are one of the most hateful and homophobic Christian organisations in the world. Megan Phelps-Roper was born to hate, joining her family at an anti-Gay picket at just 5 years old. The pain, sadness and shame Megan and her family have caused LGBTQ+ people around the world is difficult to comprehend, but since leaving the church in 2012 Megan has dedicated her life to spreading love, compassion and understanding. In this episode, James and Dan chat to Megan about her journey. This episode contains strong language, offensive ideology and religious rhetoric you may find offensive. Read #Unfollow, Megan's story about the rarest thing of all: a person changing their mind. It's a fascinating insight into a closed world of extreme belief, a biography of a complex family, and a hope-inspiring memoir of a young woman finding the courage to find compassion for others, as well as herself.
