The Figure: Recent Episodes
Georgia Parkin & Charlotte Lorimer
The Figure is a podcast about lifelong learning. Each month, which we figure out people, numbers and images of the past, present and future. Hosted by Georgia Parkin and Charlotte Lorimer.
Together, we have decided that the chapter of our lives dedicated to The Figure has come to a close. Thank you so much to everyone who has listened to and supported us over the last five years.
For our last episode, we explore the life and writing of the ‘philosopher-king’ Marcus Aurelius, the study that showed that 43% of women in senior positions are burned out and a collection of illustrations by Quentin Blake for the books of Roald Dahl.
We hope to create something else together in future - we don’t know what or when yet - and we will share what that is on our Instagram @FigurePodcast if and when the time comes. The views expressed in this podcast are our own.

We are so excited to share this guest episode with singer-songwriter Delilah Montagu. We talk about her career so far, her songwriting process and her identity as a musician. Born in 1997, she wrote her first song aged 7 and released her first EP in June 2019. Dain Cairns of The Times wrote: “Brought up on Dylan, Leonard Cohen, Joni Mitchell, James Taylor and Carole King, the 21-year-old also touches base with the work of Sade and Everything but the Girl. On her debut EP, Gold, there is a clarity to her singing and a self-assurance to her writing that mark her out as a serious talent. It’s the sound of an artist who knows exactly what she wants to say — and how to convey it.” http://www.instagram.com/delilahmontagu/ https://smarturl.it/DelilahInGold https://open.spotify.com/artist/3WtrH1zNpzoPSz6XpwCh6y?si=hOit8th4RGCgl5ZF8A1Rag Our three figures are Delilah Montagu, that there are more than 30 million songs on Spotify and a photograph taken by Delilah while travelling in Japan. www.instagram.com/figurepodcast/ www.twitter.com/FigurePodcast/ thefigurepodcast@gmail.com (mailto:thefigurepodcast@gmail.com) The Call to Courage, Brené Brown https://www.netflix.com/gb/title/81010166 Magic Lessons, presented by Elizabeth Gilbert: Brené Brown https://podcasts.apple.com/ie/podcast/magic-lessons-se-1-ep-12-brene-brown-on-big-strong-magic/id1138081319?i=1000373139417 Figure 1: Delilah Montagu Delilah Montagu: 'Leonard Cohen was meant to be my life partner, in another life' https://www.gq-magazine.co.uk/article/delilah-montagu-interview-gold The Midas Touch: A Conversation with Delilah Montagu http://atwoodmagazine.com/dmig-delilah-montagu-interview-2019/ Figure 2: There are more than 30 million songs on Spotify Spotify vs Apple Music: Which music streaming service reigns supreme https://www.thesouthafrican.com/tech/apple-music-versus-spotify-streaming-service/ Musicians mentioned: Leonard Cohen, Florence + The Machine, Lizzo, James Blake, Carole King and John Mayer Figure 3: Travelling in Japan 10 Smart Solo Travel Tips For Women By Female Solo Travelers https://www.forbes.com/sites/nomanazish/2019/06/27/10-smart-solo-travel-tips-for-women-by-female-solo-travelers/ The views expressed in this podcast are our own and not those of the firms we work for.

It’s International Women’s Day and The Figure is back! In episode 31, we talk to Carole Easton OBE about her career in the charity world, intersectional feminism and fighting for a more equal society.

www.youngminds.org.uk/
After training and working as a psychotherapist, she entered the charity world and worked with ChildLine, CLIC Sargent and Cruse Bereavement Care. She is the current chair of the mental health charity Young Minds and CEO of The Young Women’s Trust, a charity that supports young women on low or no pay. The research that the Young Women’s Trust released today reports their finding that one in three employers say their organisation has not tried to reduce its gender pay gap over the last year and one in ten say that women are paid less than men for jobs at the same level. The image we discuss is of Kristen Visbal’s bronze sculpture ‘Fearless Girl’ (2017).

In episode 27, Jennifer Cerys joins us to talk about the play that she has written about Section 28 - legislation that was passed by Margaret Thatcher in 1988 that banned the promotion of same-sex relationships in school and by local authorities. This led to mass protest across Britain, partially lead by Booan Temple who stormed the BBC during a live broadcast. The consequences of this law cause an onslaught of homophobia and a lack of sex education amongst LGBTQ+ students. We talk about how much progress we have made since Section 28 was repealed, but also how far we still need to go to achieve equality for everybody.
