Third Helpings: Recent Episodes

BRIX Brand & Creative

The Third Helpings podcast is the show where we bring different people working inside the third sector to talk about life inside and outside it.

Whether it’s the business of charities, the path to sustainability, youth culture, or design and technology - we’re aiming to leave some opinions and stories on the table, and give you an idea of what it's like inside the bubble of a charity!

If you'd like to get in touch or submit a topic for discussion, email us at: podcast@brixbrandcreative.com

Hello! Here’s the third episode of the Third Helpings podcast. On this episode, we largely went on tangents about the “good old days”, and did a lot of rambling. In the times where we stayed to the plan though, we spoke about what’s truly worth our attention in our society of constant distraction. Is shiny paper the answer? What do we need to do to make our organisations worthy of people’s attention?

Hello! We're new here, but welcome to the first episode of the Third Helpings podcast. On this episode, we chat through a Guardian article on how social media is affecting young people today, and what we can all do to avoid our phones ruling us. We also chat about the design approach that social media companies use to keep you hooked, and why you shouldn't always judge people by what you see on social media (but you already knew that anyway, didn't you?)

Re-uploaded due to audio issues, but we couldn't find the problem despite checking EVERYTHING so we're still sounding like chipmunks!! Apologies, future episodes will not sound like this!
