Are You Listening?: The Oxfordshire Youth Podcast – Détails, épisodes et analyse

It's National Youth Work Week and we have a bonus episode of Are You Listening? for you. Courtesy of former Podcast Crew member and contributor, Jord Hailwood (He/Him) explores how the podcast supported him on his journey. On our podcast, he hosted conversations about Black History Month, Queerness in Heartstopper, and transitions in education and work. He did this with such poise and patience.

Jord says that, "Are You Listening? Is such a good gateway into social skills, presentation skills, and confidence. All skills are very universally transferable and can be applied to a lot of jobs or sectors."

We want to bring Are You Listening? back better than ever before but we need the support and funding.

Could you be the missing piece? Contact Ali.khan@oxfordshireyouth.org to register your interest in empowering young people's voices. Jord has his own podcast, The Winning Side, which is an insightful podcast from the viewpoint of a black queer man.

He has interviewed many amazing people and he most recently had the opportunity to interview Jordan Stephens at the Cheltenham Literature Festival about his new book, Avoidance, Drugs, Heartbreak and Dogs. Jord, we are so proud of the progress that you are making and will always champion what you do! If you haven't already, check out Jord's podcast: https://www.youtube.com/@jordhailwood
