In the mood to listen to debates, discussions, life lessons, spiritual awakenings or even life hacks? Here are some great recommendations for you to indulge your free time or weekend with some comedy podcasts.
The Amplify Project Podcasts:
The Amplify Project is led by Patricia Cumper and Pauline Walker. Both are writers who share a fascination with the people, the process, and the art and craft of writing, inviting Black writers for the stage, page and screen to tell The Amplify Project Podcasts about themselves, their work, what inspires them and why they write.
The discussions that led to setting up The Amplify Project began before the pandemic, before the summer of George Floyd, before the world assumed its current shape. Both Patricia and Pauline saw similar patterns in the publishing and theatre industries: Publishers saying they couldn’t find Black British writers, who felt that there wasn’t a sufficient market for the work they were receiving.
Amplify Project wanted a practical response to these concerns, one that could shape themselves and reflected their interests, as writers, in the lives, work and practice of Black British writers, not just when their latest book, play or programme came out but as thinkers and artists in their own right.
Podcast conversations with BiPOC writers for the stage, page and screen telling of their stories and experiences that inspires their work and compelling writings.
