It's a very strange time at the moment, for all manner of
reasons, and it's an especially odd time to be running a travel
podcast. So ... I'm not.
This is the first of a two-part episode all about protest and
direct action. Next week I'll be going to back to "Storytime" with
tales of times when direct action in the UK has successfully
changed society, culture, or the government.
This episode, however, is all about the act of protest itself - the
bulk of which is a 'Guide To Your First Protest' provided by my
friend V; if you've never taken part in a protest before, but are
feeling inspired and motivated to do so, you might be a little
unsure how protests work in practice. V guides you through what to
wear (shoes!), what to carry, how to behave, what to watch out for,
and how to cope with a tear gas attack.
Good luck.
To help you along, A PDF transcript of this episode is
available.
As always, if you have anything to say about the topic, or indeed
about my podcasting in general, leave a comment or let me know.
The pod has a Facebook group you can
join, too.
I also have a Patreon - if you like what you hear, and want to
access exclusive content (or just to show your appreciation), then
head on over.
Until next time, bye for now. :)
