The Pink Elephant
We need to talk about the elephant in the room. A podcast about what's happening in Scotland that no one's talking about. Children, childhood, culture, healthy communities. Kate Deeming developed dance projects for kids globally in educational and community settings for 30 years before being cancelled by the dance sector for questioning the narrow social justice mantras that were being embedded across culture. A long time advocate for children and childhood join Kate as she tries to make sense of the madness and give voice to the voiceless.

BONUS: Living Lent by Barbara Cawthorne Crafton
Today marks Ash Wednesday the first day in the Catholic season of Lent. Lent is a 40 day period of preparation and prayer leading to Easter. It is a time of paring back, of giving and doing for others. I read this passage by Barbara Cawthorne Crafton in the book 'Bread and Wine: Readings for Lent and Easter' and found it so relevant to the time we live that I felt compelled to share it with you all! Enjoy!
"We didn't even know what moderation was. What it felt like. We didn't just work; we inhaled our jobs sucked them in, became them.... we didn't just eat; we stuffed ourselves.....And if it was dangerous for us to want and not have, it was even moreso for our children"
