About Under One Sky

The Under One Sky podcast attempts to paint a picture of homelessness, as a story, that is unique, dynamic and complex. Each episode will draw on a guest's expertise and experience to bring to light a different lens to view homelessness, to give us as listeners a fuller understanding of homelessness that avoids careless speculation and stereotyping. This is podcast that first recognises the worth and value of the people that find themselves in a state of Homelessness. They are people like you and me, just the right things in their lives have gone wrong. I hope you'll enjoy listening in!

Behind the scenes: Understanding the 'System' (feat. Prof Keith Brown)

"The system is failing". This quote is a common exclamation rooted in lived experience of many people. But what in particular is failing? What pressures are the 'System' under? Ultimately, what is the solution? Professor Keith Brown is an Emeritus Professor in social work, and founding director of the National Centre of Social work, as well as the Chair of NHS England Safeguarding network. Keith has dedicated his life to caring for the marginalised and vulnerable, initially starting his career as one of the UK's first Male nurses, before being convicted to do more. During this episode, we discuss the link between homelessness and the childcare system, as well as the complexity of mental health care. This episode is not concerned with the nitty gritty of 'policy', but rather a pragmatic and raw unpacking of a perceived 'failing system' Let's get at it!

episode Beyond a snapshot: a shared connection (Feat. Ian Jipps) artwork

Beyond a snapshot: a shared connection (Feat. Ian Jipps)

So often as a society we relegate our conceptions of homelessness to a snapshot: To a man or woman sitting in a doorway, with a blanket and a cup, seeking donations. This is not the reality. In this episode, Ian Jipps talks about the time he spent on a sleep-out with his friend Brian, discussing how Brian is a man who loves to go to the Library and to the BFI Cinema. Importantly, Ian unpacks how he has a lot in common with Brian, referencing the similarity in their careers.  Also in this episode Ian talks about how he felt about volunteering for the first time, highlighting that the prospect of engaging with people dissimilar to him was at first daunting, but 2 years down the line he now takes his two daughters with him on walks.  This episode explores how we are more than the sum of our possessions and how friendship reveals our similarities as people.

episode A shared humanity: a humane understanding of substance use (feat. Brian Whiting) artwork

A shared humanity: a humane understanding of substance use (feat. Brian Whiting)

Brian is a vivid storyteller. He has spent years listening and befriending those he serves living in a state of homelessness. Each person he meets, he makes a concerted effort to remember their name. In short Brian cares about the people he meets.  In this episode, Brian is open and honest about his rehab experience, and the way that it enables him to relate and understand personally to his homeless friends. This episode addresses a few of the common misconceptions many of us have, as Brian graciously unravels wrong understandings through clear and engaging stories of real people.  Let's get at it.  Follow us on Social media: Instagram: DM us to come along on a walk! https://www.instagram.com/uosdurham/ [https://www.instagram.com/uosdurham/] https://www.instagram.com/underonesky_london/ [https://www.instagram.com/underonesky_london/] Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/UnderOneSkyDurham [https://www.facebook.com/UnderOneSkyDurham] https://www.facebook.com/Under1Sky [https://www.facebook.com/Under1Sky] Website: https://underoneskytogether.com/ [https://underoneskytogether.com/]

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
