This podcast is about a ‘Philosophy of Mind’ workshop series, which ran at Mind in Camden, a local mental health charity, in October 2017.
The first part of this podcast is an interview with Sophie Stammers, the creator and facilitator of the workshop series and a philosopher at the University of Birmingham – she tells us about her work and her experience of facilitating the group. The rest of the podcast (from 12.25 onwards) is a group discussion amongst several participants about their experiences of the group – what was most important, what the group felt like, and what has stayed with them…
All of Sophie’s materials for the workshop series are online, so if you like what you hear you can go online and access them yourself at the link next to this podcast.

Black lesbian feminist poet Audre Lorde framed political struggle for a generation of women in Europe and USA. It is difficult to overestimate her legacy. To mark twentieth anniversary of her death, Fringe Film Festival 2012 screened ‘Audre Lorde: The Berlin Years 1984- 1992’. The response to the film highlighted the importance of Lorde’s legacy. Denise O’Connor and Betiel Baraki have captured some of the atmosphere for us.

These 4 podcasts explore the Legacy of the Endell Street Military Hospital, the only British army hospital to have been established and run by women during WWI. Opened in 1915 on the site of a former Victorian workhouse by Suffragette doctors Flora Murray and Louisa Garrett Anderson, its staff of 180 women treated over 26,000 in-patients and performed over 7,000 surgical operations.

Angela Mason, Camden Councillor and lead on matters concerning children and families, talked with Camden Community Radio about her concerns re the roll out of the Government’s policy of Universal Credit to Camden.
All new claims for Child Tax Credit, Housing Benefit, Income Support, Income-based JobSeekers Allowance, Income-related Employment & Support Allowance and working tax credit will be replaced by Universal Credit and claims will have to be made online rather than in person.
In 2019, all Housing benefit claims, excluding those of pensioners are to be replaced by Universal credit. Early rollout of the scheme suggests that it will drive people into deeper poverty and great hardship.

Is it ever okay to separate a child from their parents? Fingers Crossed Theatre Company explore the effect of separation and immigration on a person’s identity, in their devised play ‘Central (Story) Line’.

Camden-based multi-media artist Sally Buchanan doesn’t necessarily know what her projects are going to be about, but always knows that they are going to happen. Not surprising then that her contribution to the FLUX Exhibition – this week in the Parade Ground of Chelsea College of the Arts – is called ‘The Inevitable Installation’. Sally talked to Camden Community Radio while she was still on a high from the (not quite finished) work on her sculpture which she hopes will draw people into a space that suggests another world, another dimension. Consisting of ten cubes, each a different colour and constructed with scaffolding and organza that people can walk through or view from outside, the installation plays with shape and colour as overlaps transpose colours and convey different hues. On Monday and Tuesday ‘The Inevitable Installation’ will be assembled (and filmed with a time lapse camera) in situ.
Entry is FREE, Gates open each day at 11am. Chelsea College is next to Tate Britain at 16 John Islip Street, SW1 4UJ.

Anna Wright tells how Healthwatch Camden was about to use its powers to visit and check on the quality of local care homes when it heard that ‘Independent Age’ was keen to develop indicators to help ordinary people to assess the quality of care homes they might think of using. The resulting collaboration was so successful that Independent Age is recommending that all MPs get their local Healthwatch to inspect and report on their local care homes using the eight quality indicators that they have developed.

Martin speaks to Natasha Langridge, whose show In Memory of Leaves comes to the Camden canal from the 11th-14th of October.
Written in the wake of her home on the Wornington Green Estate in Kensington being demolished, Natasha Langridge’s monologue explores what happens to communities when they are moved from their homes. It follows her getting arrested with Occupy Democracy and volunteering in the refugee camp in Calais. It is personal and bracing; a love note to neighbours and a revolutionary call to the world.
Natasha Langridge is a Meyer-Whitworth award winner for Shraddha which was performed at Soho Theatre. She is also an actress and is co-author of Rage and Reason Women Playwrights on Playwriting. Her writing and directing credits include Beverley (UK Tour), Breathing in Brixton, The Method (Oval House London) and Worthing Whispers (Pavilion Theatre Worthing).

Lacky talks to Jim Walsh of Conway Hall, which is run by the South Place Ethical Society that was founded (on 14th February) 1793 and is the last remaining ethical society in the UK and the oldest free thought organization in the world.
Jim knows all about the historic building and its fascinating artifacts of English culture, especially relating to free thinking and Humanism.
Conway Hall has been the jumping off place of important movements and causes – anti-apartheid, abolition of capital pubishment, where public figures such as Charles Darwin, Lisa Jardine and Tony Benn challenged current thinking.
Conway Hall has teamed up with Trunkman Productions to tell the story of Moncure Conway after whom the building is named. A documentary ‘The Empty Niche: The Long Lost Bust Of Moncure Conway’ is available from 25th February on YouTube. It tracks the history of Conway Hall and the mysteriously empty niche that has sat in its foyer since it opened.

After volunteering at the camps of Calais and Dunkirk in France, they bring their help to those who have nothing in the streets of Camden. For about nine weeks now, the Refugee Community Kitchen (RCK) has been offering – along with the local NGO Streets Kitchen – hot meals and support to those who most need it. We met Janie Mac, one of the coordinators, on a cold Wednesday night just outside Camden Town tube station where a temporary “canteen” has been set up. Janie says RCK gives people essential support that the government simply fails to provide.
After Camden the organisation wants to expand into other areas of London.

April 24th is the official one hundredth anniversary of the Easter Rising in Ireland. Commemorations are already underway to mark the week hundreds of people, mostly in Dublin, rose up to fight against British rule. After six days the struggle ended in an unconditional surrender. The seven men who planned the revolt were executed. But knowing that might be their fate they’d already chosen someone to carry on their work: Kathleen Clarke was the wife of one of their number, Thomas Clarke.
She was under strict instructions to stay home, guard the secrets, look out for the welfare of the fighters’ families and keep the flame burning.
What Kathleen endured during those days has been dramatised by Irish actress Sharon Sexton. She’s performing her one woman play “A Fit Wife for a Revolutionary” at the London Irish Centre in Camden Square from the 29th of March until the 2nd of April.
Sharon has appeared in London in The Commitments and is currently in Billy Elliott. She’s hoping to take her play around Britain and to Ireland later in the year. Sharon was keen to look at the role taken by women in the Rising, which has often been overlooked. She originally planned to follow a number of stories but as her research progressed she found there was just so much to say about Kathleen Clarke’s life that she had to focus on her. Catherine Carroll asked Sharon to describe the subject of her play.

In the churchyard of St Pancras Old Church is the mysterious Hardy Tree. A proud ash tree with over a hundred gravestones studded into its roots.
The story goes that the poet Thomas Hardy was its creator, while he was a young architects assistant helping the Midland Railway company. But that’s only a story. No one can say what the true origin or import of this tree is, could it be a truly mystic tree?

The ‘Camden Mothership’ was the name given to a recent squat in the former Council offices on West End Lane. It didn’t last long as the Council wasted no time in having them evicted, branding the squatters ‘freeloaders’.
For their part, the squatters said they were there to reopen the building to the public as a community centre and space.
Are the Council right to be so dismissive of the squatters as time wasters and freeloaders? Or are the squatters pointing out an uncomfortable truth about the council’s sale of public land?

There’s a mitten on a railing near the children’s playground at Coram Fields. A common enough sight. Go closer though and you will find it is made of painted bronze. What does it mean?

Special thanks to Caro Howell at the Foundling Museum and to Carol Harris at Coram.

Argent agreed to provide only 40% of its housing as social housing when it signed the planning agreement in 2006, rather than the London target of 50%. That came to 750 of 2,000. With properties selling for an average of upwards of £1 million each, Argent now wants to back out after it has delivered only 650 of the agreed homes. People have taken to leaving messages on Argent’s Facebook in protest and over 11 thousand have signed on online petition. Here some of the things that protesters are saying.

There’s a new Labour Candidate in Town. After more than thirty years as MP for Holborn and St Pancras, Frank Dobson is standing down and the party has chosen Sir Keir Starmer to fight the seat. He’s a Barrister, specialising in Human Rights issues and was Director of Public Prosecutions for five years before leaving the post in 2013. Camden Community Radio caught up with him at Labour’s local office where he spoke about tackling the constituency’s problems, lowering the voting age and how he doesn’t like being called SIR Keir – “It’s Keir” he insists. Our reporter, Ann Carroll, began by asking him what he feels he brings to Camden.
The full list of candidates is:
Natalie Bennett, Green Party
Will Blair, Conservative Party
Jill Fraser, Liberal Democrat Party
Vanessa Helen Hudson, Animal Welfare Party

Ten years ago Jill Fraser stood in the Holborn and St Pancras
constituency as the Lib Dem candidate. It was said she gave
Labour a bit of a scare. She’s back again with another attempt
to take the seat held for more than thirty years by Frank
Dobson, who’s retiring. She spoke to our reporter Ann Carroll
about her political beginnings, her determination to represent
the local community even if that puts her at odds with her
party, and fish and chips.

We do love to celebrate New Year and what better group to help us do that than Cheerleaders? Now when we think of Cheerleaders we may associate them with America, but while its roots may be there, it’s a movement that‘s thriving in Britain, and even in our own backyard in Camden.
And it’s not just about entertainment. The activities promote health, community, family and acceptance. Our local group, London Infinity Elite, usually takes part in the New Year Parade in London, but this year they’ve been invited to Italy for the first ever event of its kind there. Just before the group took off their inspirational founder, Valerie Amajoutt, came into our studios and talked to Ann Carroll who asked; What was she expecting from this New Year’s Parade in Rome?

Back after a prolonged summer break, this month’s newscast is a treat for the ears. We bring you incredible poetry from the young people from the New Horizons centre in Chalton Street. In a night organised by new local organisation Youth Sauce, these young people reimagined their own tough stories and fairytales dark and grim set in Somerstown.
Our second story comes from Rochester Square Gardens and the community who have been squatting there for more than a year now. They have wonderful plans for the space and visions of returning it as a natural paradise to the local community, but it is proving a slow process. Listen in to find out more about this alternative group and what they’re trying to achieve.
Lastly, we close with an interview and some music from our newest recruit Melvyn.
Enjoy!

Ira Putilova has been detained today by UKBA officials. Ira is an LGBTQ person from Russia who is currently claiming asylum in the U.K for her own safety. In Russia she was harrassed, followed, and attacked, by state officials, the police and Neo Nazis because of her political activism and LGBTQ status; if she is returned to Russia she is likely to face torture, detention, and potentially death. She was taken to Yarls Wood Immigration Removal Centre and may face imminent deportation. Her campaign asks everyone reading this to spread the word about Ira and her situation, and to contact groups or people who might be able to help. All and any actions of support/solidarity are greatly appreciated by Ira and her Friends.

Youth unemployment at the UK rose sharply after the economic crash and remains stubbornly high. There are fears this could be leading to another ‘lost generation’ of Britain’s youth.
Camden Council’s apprenticeship team are dedicated to helping young people into work. In Spring/Summer 2013 they ran an initiative called ‘Camden 100 in 100’. The idea was to create one-hundred apprenticeships in the borough in one-hundred days.
To find out more about the scheme, Camden Community Radio interviewed Rahima Khanum, an apprentice at the Wellcome Trust on Euston Road, and Brian Lim, her manager. We also spoke to Michael Pratt, from the council’s apprenticeship team, and councillor Valerie Leech.
Special thanks to Michael for all his help and to Rahima and Brian for giving up their time.

Tensions have flared between boaters and homeowners on London’s increasingly crowded canals. The focal point of the argument is in Islington where woodsmoke and late-night engine noise from the canal have been impacting local residents. But the overcrowding and stress on the canals stretches throughout the city and is serious enough to have prompted the London Assembly to launch an investigation. Its remit is to find out more about what problems there are and to suggest ways of solving them.
Freddy Chick checked it out.

The death of Savita Halappanavar in a hospital in the West of Ireland in December 2012 has raised fury in Ireland, in India and around the world. The allegation is that the hospital staff refused, on religious grounds, to terminate a dying foetus so allowing Septicaemia to take hold. This report provides the background to demonstrators in London and elsewhere calling the Irish Government to legislate for a safer policy on the abortion.

Camden Town Brewery has come a long way, very quickly. Founder Jasper Cuppaidge first started brewing beer on a small scale in the cellar of his pub, The Horseshoe in Hampstead, seven years ago.
In 2010 he set up the brewery at Kentish Town West station where he produces around 60,000 pints a week. His beer is served in pubs all over London and further expansion is on the cards. Tom Boyle talks to Cuppaidge about his plans to construct a new brewery in the borough next year – the biggest to be built in the capital for 150 years.

Pioneering theatre company Theatro Technis has been performing in Camden for 55 years. Its current home, a former Church House, sits just moments away from the pubs, clubs and music venues of Camden High Street. It might be overshadowed by the attractions the High Street or the West End has to offer. But the volunteers that have ensured that the show remains on the road are justly proud of their contribution to the borough’s cultural life . . . and they still welcome volunteers to join them. Tom Boyle speaks with founder George Eugeniou to discover more.

Seven original works have been loaned by the Victoria and Albert Museum and the associated exhibition is supplemented by a series of talks and walks.

Wayne Boucaud talks to the legendary Frank Holder, who traces the history of his development as a Jazz musician. Now almost 90 years old and still full of musical ambitions, Frank left Georgetown Guyana as a teenager to join the Royal Air Force. Having entertained troops in the War, he got demobbed in the UK where he found an audience for his playing. By the 1950s, he was playing warm up for the likes of Nat King Cole. He has played alongside Johnny Ray, Eatha Kitt, Johnny Dankworth, Lena Horne, Dudley Moore and Cleo Lane, whose singing he finds hard to equal in today’s artists. He recalls that racism meant band members on tour had to ask the audience for help with accommodation. He worked with guitarist, Shane Hill on the album ‘Interpretations’, which includes a selection from each decade and covers the late local artist, Amy Winehouse.

At the London Gay Fringe Festival earlier this year, Spanish artists from the new Transfeminism movement articulated the role of the post porn movement and sexual dissidence in the shake up of repressive aspects of Spanish politics and culture.

Trying to keep sane,
Don’t want to wane again,
Feeling like a trapped soul,
Jumping deeper into the hole,
Feeling experimentally challenged,
Counting the days I’ve mismanaged,
Hiding the light under a bowl.
I don’t want to think I’ve suffered in vain,
Through years of loneliness and pain,
Because time will kill me in the end,
If I don’t let go of all that I pretend /to be,
And realise what I ought to be,
In the arms of some sympathetic company

A poem by Martin Lim
What I really long for,
Is to find that long lost distant shore.
To be alone in my private thoughts,
Distant voices echoing through the wind’
When will they stop ,
When will they rescind,
Persistant,thought resistant ,
Shaming to the core.
What I desire
Like purifying fire,
Is to make God’s word the truth and the Devil liar,
To make the right choices,
Instead of treading on thin wire,
Separate the wheat from the briar,
Let him be the squire.
