Three Decades of Changing Minds Podcasts

Published on by Gabrielle

Starting in November 2022 volunteers supported by staff developed, produced, recorded and edited a series of podcasts exploring the work of GWL over three decades on six key themes: Access, Anti-Racism, LGBTQ+, Violence against Women, Environment and Sustainability, and Change Making.

Volunteers interviewed past and current staff who were especially involved in this work to gain their insight into past and present projects, their approach, and their learning and reflections.

Podcast #1: Access with Becca Lewis (former Facilities Management Officer), Deborah Walker (Adult Literacy and Numeracy Tutor) and Gabrielle Macbeth (Volunteer Co-ordinator)

Podcast #2: Environment and Sustainability with Jenny Noble (Museum Curator) and Caroline Gausden (Development Worker for Programming, Curating, Partnerships and Participation)

Big thanks to our volunteers Joy and Niamh who prepared and hosted the podcasts, and Fi, Becky and Nicky who recorded and edited the audio.

This project was made possible thanks to National Lottery players.

GWL is a multi-voiced haven for the diversity of lived experience that makes up women’s history. Our blog is written by many different voices and, although everything we share is in line with our values, some of the views expressed are personal and do not necessarily reflect the wider views of GWL. We’re proud to share the words of our staff, volunteers and placement students and we hope you enjoy reading their thoughts.
