At this time of the Great Transition, we need new, fresh ideas, role models and narratives that show us how we can step forward into a future we'd be proud to leave to the generations that come after us. What does it take for our great, great grand-kids to look back and say, 'It was hard, but they did it'? What changes are we already making that take us in the right direction? We talk to the people leading the way, offering interviews, conversations and radical new ideas from people who are living the change we need to see in the world. We have the choice now, to transform - or to face the chaos of a failing system. Our Choice. Our Chance. Our Future. Join the evolution at: https://accidentalgods.life

Where fact-checking meets fun, reporting meets road-trip and the mainstream media meets its match... Media Storm is a news podcast that starts with the people who are usually asked last. "Migrants", "criminals" and "sex workers" are some of the biggest stars in the headlines, yet we rarely actually hear from them. Here, we provide a space for these minority groups to get their right of reply. From The House of The Guilty Feminist, Media Storm hands the mic to people with lived experience, to shed new light on old stories and roast the headlines that love to roast them.

This Podcast is the result of ten years of arts criticism in the legendary -South American blog loveartnotpeople.org that, since 2012, shocked and changed the perception of art and, more specifically, of their cultural elites and their exclusionary practices. But now, I want to elevate blogging to artistic status and also to refer to my reality in the UK and its critical present. Intellectual, artists and academics will pass by this space only to reinforce our commitment to freedom of speech at a time identity politics is weaponised to censor and silence. Entirely in English, it will take decolonial and queer methodologies to their logic extremes..

Welcome to The Vanity Project, hosted by Drag queen Vanity von Glow. This series will showcase engaging discussions between a drag queen and unlikely guests from the worlds of entertainment, media and politics. It will juxtapose the laughs we all know and expect from a drag queen, with more thoughtful, engaging discussions and insight.

A reigning queen of Soho, Vanity is one of the UK's most recognisable cabaret stars, famed for her lively shows at the piano. Being a creative of the nightlife, Vanity is also an advocate for personal freedom, free speech, and radical tolerance. She has caused a stir with appearances on panel discussions for the BBC, Sky News, Byline TV and more. VVG believes in tackling ideas rather than people, and prides herself on taking time to consider all points of view. Guests at The Vanity Project will be encouraged to relax, be themselves and express their truth.

The Vanity Project began life in front of a live audience in Covent Garden's glamorous hClub in 2018 featuring guests such as satirist Jonathan Pie, journalist Dan Wooton, and black community activist and performer Sadie Sinner. Now Vanity is exchanging the live audience for the intimacy of a podcast. Performers are known for being talkers, but this queen is also a great listener. In a cultural moment where it feels like everyone is shouting at one another, we offer you a classic innuendo: it is time to go in deeper with Vanity von Glow.

Themes range from wellness/mindfulness, human rights, youth culture, the LGBT+ experience, politics and more, with guests bringing their own themes and experiences to the podcast.
