Arsenal Fans & Antisemitism with Katie Price
Diversify
Earlier this year, commedian Katie Price was trying watching a football game in a London pub when she was the victim of antisemitism, aimed at her by her fellow team's fans. The incident and the way it was dealt with by management rightfully sparked outrage, and reignited an important discussion about antisemitism in modern Britain. Katie spoke to Diversify's Kate and Holly about what happened that day, why people seem so content to brush off anti-Jewish behaviour , and what football needs to do next.

Sam talked to us about his role on the iconic show, why Sci-Fi continues to be at the forefront of modern storytelling and why we need to embrace diversity of sound in the modern creative industries.
