LAUNCHING A NEW PODCAST - Women for positive social change

Have you ever collaborated on a project?

A podcast co-created by two emerging researchers from Griffith University, Kiri Lingman and Katie Alleva.

How fantastic is it to work with other passionate, intelligent, creative and go-getter women!

This is what it feels like to collaborate with women and make a podcast. The interview process is intimate and allows the people in conversation to delve deep into the topic. The fact that a PODCAST isn’t a live show means you can tailor it and refine it to meet the aims and intentions of the brief. Working with a fellow emerging researcher was invaluable as we each brought in a different perspective on the same topic. Kiri interviewed an academic and I interviewed an Irish musician. We named our podcast, ‘INSPIRED BALANCE’. Why? We wanted to focus on positive social change despite discussing the heavy subject of trauma.

The podcast investigates the ways in which women strive to balance and manage their lives and heal from trauma. Our aims are to educate and discuss the complex topic of trauma and it’s multiple definitions from an interdisciplinary perspective. Lastly, the podcast is designed to inspire others, in the hope that they too can strike an ‘inspired balance’.
