MAHAKAVI C. SUBRAMANIA BHARATI: A PODCAST BY HIS GREAT
C. Subramania Bharati (1882-1921), also known to Tamil speakers as Mahakavi Bharathiyar, was an iconic Indian poet and visionary. "Mahakavi" means greatest of poets. Bharati's support for Indian freedom from British rule led to much of his writing being outlawed by the British, and the lasting effects of this government censorship have been felt until now. In our post-colonial era, at last, Bharati has a chance to reach the worldwide audience that he dreamed of, and deserves. Discover and explore Bharati's life and work with his great-granddaughter, Mira T. Sundara Rajan, a writer, musician, and Oxford-educated law professor. Bharati's prescient and passionate advocacy of freedom, equality, and human rights for all makes him profoundly relevant to the world today. All listeners are welcome.
CHICK FLICKS WITH GABBY & AMY
Friends Gabriella and Amy discuss movies by, for, and about women. These movies are often loved but not necessarily respected.

Join us monthly as we revisit our favorites and make some discoveries along the way!

ALDRIG MEHR PODDEN
Rivningarna av Stockholm och andra stadskärnor under efterkrigstiden är ett ämne som aldrig slutar att uppröra och fascinera. I Aldrig Mehr podden samtalar Rikard Gustavsson och Eric Palmcrantz om försvunna platser och rivna byggnader med människor som på ett eller annat sätt försöker förklara hur det kunde ske och varför eller varför inte det ”aldrig mehr” borde hända igen. För det kan det väl inte göra? Producerat av Figaro Music & Media Group.
MOR SKILJER SIG
En podd där två kvinnor, inte litteraturvetare, snackar både lättvindigt och med visst djup om böcker skrivna av kvinnliga författare i olika tider och rum. Vi bjuder på såväl lite gråt som väldigt många skratt! Man kan kanske säga att vi knådar själen genom att anta dessa kvinnors perspektiv på vår egen tillvaro? Man behöver inte ha läst böckerna för att lyssna, men är man intresserad finns aktuella boklistor på både vår insta @morskiljersig och i vår Facebookgrupp https://www.facebook.com/groups/377688474012588
FORCED TO FLEE
Persecution. Violence. War… Forced To Flee, the new podcast from UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, tells the extraordinary stories of people who lived through some of the most tumultuous events of the past 70 years. The story of the mother who fled Vietnam by sea and fell into the hands of pirates, and of the orphaned schoolboy who found his calling thanks to a disposable camera. The story of the Venezuelan musicians who found hope with a new orchestra, and of the daughter of refugees who joined the rescue effort during Rwanda’s genocide. And stories of the many humanitarian workers who for seven decades have endeavoured to protect the forcibly displaced. Over seven episodes, we revisit some of the major emergencies of the post-war that have forced millions of people to leave their homes in search of safety and peace.We discover why they fled, what they endured, and what happened next. And as UNHCR and the 1951 Refugee Convention both mark their 70th year, we also look to the future and ask how the world must respond to record levels of forced human displacement.
