Show notes

"Along the Lines" is a conversational podcast started during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Beginning the first episodes in lockdown, and unable to meet each guest in person, the conversations had to take place along the phone lines.

Each episode is along the lines of... whatever subject/s are interesting and relevant (to the guest/s) at the time of recording.

In this episode, Dan talks to Jade about a few different topics that include...

- Bringing theatre to communities

- Theatre in prisons

- Lack of diversity involved in theatre and drama

- Lack of empathy for the experiences of ethnic minorities

- Media representations of BAME individuals

- Jade's personal experiences of race discrimination

- Realising problematic views held by close friends/family

- Free speech issues within race relations

- The importance of having exposure to diverse individuals and groups

Please feel free to comment, like, subscribe and/or come on as a guest.

Let's keep the conversation going!
