This podcast is a place to share the radio shows I host weekly on Freshair radio. Discarray: a loving combination of a disarray of music and chat. Each week focuses on a different area which caused me disarray (especially through my Uni years and beyond). A little message to my younger self not to panic and stress, we've got your back.
Monday 8th March is International Women's Day. So buckle up as I have 5 incredible stories to tell about 5 incredible women. Interjected with amazing songs all performed by, you guessed it, women. From pedestrian crossings, to CEOs, to billiard players we celebrate all the brilliant work produced and achieved by women which better society, the world, and us. Another joyous episode to record, I hope as a listener you learn something and feel a sense of empowerment to change the world. This show is for women and men alike as we all have an important part to play in gender equality which, at its heart, has the power to improve the lives of everyone. π
February is LGBTQ+ History month, and as a gay female, it's a month close to my heart. It's also my birth month so good vibes all round, but that's as much a coincidence as attending an all female school, or playing an all female sport. This week we break from the traditional style of the Positivi-TEA shows, as we focus on 6 amazing stories from the LGBTQ+ community. Join me to hear of some incredible trailblazers, and inspirational stories, alongside some amazing, beautiful music from LGBTQ+ artists. This episode has been a pleasure and a joy to record, I hope you learn something, I hope it brings you some hope and bucket loads of positivity. Tune in to tune out, and spread the love. Because love always wins. π
A 5 minute demo covering my radio skills, styles, and general chat. From music intros, interviews, and storytelling.
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...well, this year, all things considered it might not quite be feeling like Christmas as mush as usual. But Positivi-TEA is here to try and save some Christmassy spirit and channel it through 10 feel good songs jam packed around some incredible Christmas songs! It might not be the line up you're expecting of the usual Christmas songs, but it's not been a usual year and you might find a wee treat you didn't expect. Tune in to tune out, and let's get Christmassy! πβ€οΈπ

Baby I'm back! Sorry for the radio silence folks, it's been a big few months. Every hour I'm not sleeping or working I've been at my new flat pushing on with the renovation works! βοΈ But I did manage to squeeze in a few live recordings of Positivi-TEA. If you didn't catch them, this is me getting round to posting them. This week's episode is another hour of joyful news, glorious songs, and feel good vibes. If that sounds like your cup of tea then go grab one and settle in for an hour of Positivi-TEA. ππ

An interview with my great friend Bel, at a perfect time for Mental Health Awareness Week. In 2016 Bel contracted a tropical illness which led to Chronic Fatigue. We dicuss Bel's illness and how she managed to handle both physically and mentally this whilst going through University, finding a Career path that suits her and is manageable, and how becoming a yogi has been a saving grace. This is a beautiful blend of Discarray & Positivi-TEA, and it was a pleasure and a joy to record. We laughed, we nearly cried, and we talked (a lot). Thankyou Bel, you're incredible. ππβ€οΈ

Although given then current climate this show might not be the most relevant if graduate jobs intakes are affected by Covid19, if nothing else I hope it provides you with an hour of entertainment and escape from the outside world π
There's already quite enough Disarray going on in the world right now. So, in a twist I bet you never saw coming, this week's show is shouting out about everything positive in society right now. No fake news, just great news. So switch on, to switch off.
This week's show is everything LGBT+ to support LGBT+ History Month. A tour and celebration through music and chat. All songs this week are performed by artists who are part of the LGBT+ community. And no, that isn't all 80s ballads, although a few might have slipped through...
An hour of ballads, Rock anthems, pop icons, and feel-good Motown all sung by 10 inspirational female artists. It was damn hard to narrow it down to 10. This show is for women everywhere, to speak up, do what you love, and be you.
Ever thought about taking a gap year? Or a gap 2 years. The world's your oyster. From working placements, to a South East Asia finding yourself trip, this episode talks all things gap years. The benefits, the types, the best time to take them? Mixed in with a musical theme of song sampling, which I've oh so elegantly coined the 'musical eviqaulent of a gap year'. A space to grow and change and develop into something newer and ready to take on modern day life. Musically and personally.
