Giving the learning-disabled community a voice – with Carousel

June 15, 2023July 10, 2023
by Vic

The Carousel Radio podcast is made, presented and features the talent of Carousel’s learning-disabled artists. But how do they do it and why this approach is incredibly important to the charity. Discover how they’re giving participants a voice and what the impact has been at the next Grab The MIC: Live on Tuesday 25th July. This is the rescheduled date from our original June one.

Carousel Radio is an award-winning podcast series from Carousel. They’re a charity that supports people with learning disabilities to explore and develop their artistic talent. On top of this, they provide lots of opportunities for their artists to showcase what they do through performances, films, festivals, club nights, and podcasts!

Carousel Radio, which is also broadcast monthly on a local Brighton radio station, is produced and presented entirely by learning-disabled people. Their current season focuses on features that highlight the creative spoken word, truthful audio diaries, and passionate political viewpoints from learning-disabled people.

It’s made a huge impact too, winning Gold at the Audio Production Awards 2022, Silver at the Lovie Awards 2020 and in 2018 Gold at the British Podcast Awards.

This Grab The MIC: Live conversation is set to be a fabulous insight into what goes into making a podcast for and by the learning-disabled community.

How to use your archive in your podcast with…

November 2, 2022November 2, 2022
by Vic

The Log Books podcast is an award-winning podcast from the LGBTQ+ helpline Switchboard. Discover how they used their archive of log books from the helpline to create awareness of their important service at the next Grab The MIC: Live on Tuesday 15th November.

The Switchboard charity is a helpline for anyone who wants to talk about gender identity and sexuality. Their podcast The Log Books podcast gives you a glimpse into LGBTQ+ life across 3 decades. Each episode of the podcast centres around their log book entries made by volunteers who staffed the phone lines from the charity’s first day in 1974.

They created the podcast by delving into the content they already had, in abundance and at their fingertips. At the same time, creating awareness of both LGBTQ+ issues and their important service, which is still active and doing brilliant things to this day.

The Log Books podcast, supported by the Heritage Lottery fund, has received well-deserved kudos from the likes of Miranda Sawyer at The Guardian, Metro, Stylist, Esquire and the Evening Standard. Not to mention a plethora of awards including The British Podcast Awards and the Audio Production Awards.

The podcast, which ran for three series, uncovers stories ranging from police entrapping gay men meeting for sex in toilets, women losing custody of their children for being lesbians and people getting kicked out of pubs for wearing pro-gay badges. They all create a unique insight into British LGBTQ+ life in the 70s, 80s, 90s and early 00’s.

So why did Switchboard choose this approach, how did they make it work and what impact has the The Log Books podcast had?

Hear how That Great Manc Pod showcases their community

That Great Manc Pod podcast exists solely to showcase the brilliant work of community groups in Greater Manchester. Discover why and how they’re doing it at our Grab The MIC: Live on Tuesday 25th October.

That Great Manc Pod is Greater Manchester’s Community Podcast. It was started in 2020 by the Manc Spirit charity. What makes it special is that it is not all about showcasing the brilliant work of Manc Spirit. Nope, that’s not their vibe at all. It’s all about profiling the work and impact of other not-for-profits who are doing brilliant, impactful work stuff across the Greater Manchester region.

By turning the tables, they’re giving a voice and a platform to groups who may not be able to get typical media coverage or perhaps don’t have the resources to market themselves. That Great Manc pod is providing this space. They’ve spoken to good eggs like The Proud Trust, Age UK, The Northern Poets Society and yours truly!

So why did Manc Spirit decide to take this approach and how successful has it been?

Hear and learn from the award-winning Armchair Adventures podcast!

Our next GrabThe MIC: Live conversation is with Andy Smith, founder of the participatory arts company Made by Mortals CIC – the brains behind the hugely successful and award-winning Armchair Adventures podcast on Tuesday 18th October.

front cover of the armchair adventures podcast. Features an armchair and an animated young girl with ginger hair

Armchair Adventures is a podcast for kids and this year they won Bronze in the Kids and Family category at the British Podcast Awards. They’ve been featured on BBC Radio 4, received kudos from HRH Prince William and received tens of thousands of global listeners. Plus, just this month it was revealed that Armchair Adventures would be the first kid’s podcast available on all Virgin Atlantic Flights! On October 6th 2022 they launched series 3 of the Armchair Adventures podcast.

The Armchair Adventures story started during the pandemic in 2020. Made by Mortals recognised that their community was suffering from isolation and loneliness because of the lockdown. So, they wanted to create something that could boost well-being, be fun, and be able to be enjoyed by all of the family. Most importantly they wanted to design an activity that could be loved by anyone, at any time. The Armchair Adventures podcast was their response.

Grab The MIC: Live with Armchair Adventures

But just how did a small theatre organisation from just outside Manchester create one of the most popular kid’s podcasts in the UK and where all the voices you hear in the Armchair Adventures podcast are from their over 60’s amateur acting group?

Andy will answer these questions and more on Grab The MIC: Live on Tuesday 18th October, from 12.15 – 1.00pm, streamed live on LinkedIn and twitter via MIC media’s page.

Our second Grab The MIC: Live conversation is with Sanita Guddu, Founder and Host of Legacy Fundraising Chat Podcast on Tuesday 20th September.

Launching a podcast in just 4 months, whilst running a consultancy would put most people’s stress levels into overdrive. But committed to helping the sector and her passion for legacy fundraising, Sanita Guddu did just that!

Fast forward to today and Legacy Fundraising Chat has just released its 13th episode!
