One Harm Two Voices
One Harm Two Voices is a podcast series which brings into focus those topics we find hardest to talk about. Harmful, complicated human experiences are at the centre of each episode; the common thread is the stigma surrounding them.
Developed by an advocate of restorative approaches, we invite you to listen in on the raw, unfiltered conversation of two people sitting on different, at times opposite, sides of a harmful experience.
Our guests will share their personal stories and combine their unique perspectives to make more sense of what happened; reflecting on what helped them to find a way through and a way forward.
Professionally, the podcast host Jo Luck has spent the past 17 years working in the Criminal Justice sector. Qualified in Restorative Justice practices, her work has included mediation between crime victims and perpetrators, as well as leading on a nationally launched ‘restorative’ probation practitioner toolkit. More recently, Jo became an Associate Prison Inspector. One Harm Two Voices is Jo's passion project.
The podcast aims to instil some hope in those listeners impacted by the harm topics, and offer some pointers on what has helped others repair and recover.

In our pilot episode, the focus is on gambling harms. Patrick Foster, Founder and Director of Gam-ed (Gambling, Addiction and Mental Health Talks) and author of ‘Might Bite’ will be sharing his experience of developing and recovering from a severe and sustained gambling addiction. Jo Luck, the podcast’s creator will put herself in the guest seat and share her own experiences of being an ‘affected other’, financially and emotionally harmed by the gambling addiction of her long-term partner. Restorative Practices facilitator Joanne Ramsey will host the conversation.
Keeping yourself safe
If you are a listener in active gambling addiction or, if you are in recovery but feeling fragile, listening to Jo's story (the affected other) may be experienced as emotionally challenging.
