Bodies Are Telling – Détails, épisodes et analyse

Bodies are Telling is a two part exploration of the often complex relationship between the body and the self, told by Jimanekia Eborn through an intimate, personal reflection of her own journey to self-discovery. What are the psychological effects of growing up in a body that is constantly objectified? How do outside influences and expectations impact the way we perceive ourselves? What does it mean to reconnect to our body and heal after experiencing sexual assault? This started out as a podcast discussing bodies that have been impacted by shame and guilt. But it turned into a candid sharing of deep truths; an examination of personal trauma and what it's like to come out on the other side. While also calling in others’ journeys and ideals around their own bodies, this is a story that, sadly, many will listen to and be able to connect with, but, hopefully, it is also a story that many can discover a place of understanding, realisation, and, ultimatley, hope. TW: This series mentions sexual assault and eating disorders.

Nudity impacts so many areas of our lives - sexual and nonsexual - so it seems only right that we start here. From the moment that we have an understanding of our bodies we’re told about all the things that are wrong with them, and that it’s our responsibility to fix them. Which is exhausting. What would it be like if we were able to start from a place of accepting our bodies as they are right now? In this episode Ruby digs into the ways she became comfortable with her own body - from life drawing to being in nude spaces, and the myriad reasons why nudity could be difficult for us. She also speaks to Dr Keon West about the positive impacts being nude could have on us all.

Debates about what should or shouldn’t be taught in RSE can so often be driven by misinformation, fear-mongering, and political agendas — but at what cost? Who does this benefit, and crucially, who does it harm? Evidence-based research has proven that high-quality sex education can not only protect young people from countless harms, but give them the tools to navigate the real and online world with more agency, more empathy, and more control. Let’s Talk About Sex (Education) is a one-off documentary examining some of the (many) reasons why a comprehensive and inclusive sex education curriculum matters. It features the voices of sex educators, journalists, students and others, all of whom wish they'd learned, wish they'd been taught, more.   Let’s Talk About Sex (Education) was produced and presented by Lucy Carr. It was mastered by Benjamin Williams. This is a Broccoli Production. CONTRIBUTORS: Annabel - Student, England Dolly Padalia - CEO, School of Sexuality Education  Lucy Whitehouse - CEO & Founder, Fumble UK  Matilda Lawrence-Jubb - Co-founder, Split Banana Milly Evans - Sex educator and author of Honest: Everything They Don’t Tell You About Sex, Relationships and Bodies Sophia Smith Galer - Senior Reporter at VICE News and author of Losing It: Sex Education for the 21st Century Also thanks to Michael Conroy (Men At Work) and Tamasine Preece (Humanise) OTHER RESOURCES: Brook: Help & Advice NSPCC Learning  End Violence Against Women Everyone’s Invited Sex Education Forum: Resources Sexpression UK Sex Ed Matters Twinkl: Teaching resources Learn more about your ad choices.

On the 27th October 2023, the team behind We Were Always Here held a live event at the Bishopsgate Institute in London. We had collected hundreds of hours of interviews from over 50 people during the making of the podcast and decided to donate all of the audio and transcipts to the Queer Archives at the Bishopsgate Institute so that these stories would no longer be left out of the telling of the UK HIV Epidemic history.  This evening was in celebration of that donation but also to ensure the conversation around HIV is ongoing.  This event featured Marc Thompson, Sophie Strachen and Angelina Namiba and was chaired by the podcast's producer, Hana Walker-Brown.

As we move into the 2000's, the demographic of HIV is changing as are the policies surrounding treatment. At an International medical trail, PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis) is found to be highly effective for treating people with HIV, reducing the risk of infection from sex by about 99% when taken as prescribed. It was a breakthrough and it was assumed by many that PrEP would be rolled out by the NHS. But it wasn't going to be that simple. The thread of activism that runs through the last decade is reminiscent of the early 80's and 90's and a reminder that the fight to end HIV still very much includes the fight to end stigma.  We Were Always Here is produced and sound designed by Hana Walker-Brown This is a Broccoli Production.

During the 1990's the prevelance of HIV increased across the mainstream media in part due to celebrities taking to the world stage to disclose their diagnosis. First it was Magic Johnson, a week later singer Freddy Mercury would announce he had aids. He died the next day. Then there would be tennis star Arthur Ashe who had contracted the virus during a blood transfusion in 1982. Up to 5000 peope were thought to have been infected with HIV via contaminated blood transfusion in the 1980's.

Since the start of epidemic, women in many regions have been disproportionately affected by HIV. Today, women make up more than half of all people living with HIV and AIDS-related illnesses. In 1986 the ratio of male to female of HIV cases in the UK was 33 to one. By 1989, it was estimated that women accounted for a third of HIV cases worldwide, with several thousand diagnosed in the UK. In the first of this two part episode, women share their recollections of diagnosis.  This episode is dedicated to the memory of Leigh Neal We Were Always Here is produced and sound designed by Hana Walker-Brown This is a Broccoli Production.
