This podcast is all about ‘daring to have those conversations that nobody else dares to have’. Hosted by creator and activist Amanda Adé, the topics discussed aim to breakdown social and religious boundaries and give a voice to diverse perspectives. The latest episode deals with racism in Ireland and how the idea that racial bias is an American problem, is so very false. This episode is definitely an essential listen, as are the other four in the current season with discussions like toxic masculinity in the black community and modern relationships.
