“There are as many identities in Northern Ireland as people”

lundi 11 mai 2020 • Durée 32:01

Zing’s reached the end of her adventure around the UK and it’s time for her to make a decision: does she want to give up her Singaporean passport for a British one? Has touring the country and having frank and difficult conversations about national identity helped her decide whether she’s ready to trade in citizenship of the country she was raised in for the one she calls home now? Before she answers these questions, she’s got one final stop to make on her tour - Belfast. Unfortunately, with the country still locked down due to coronavirus, Zing can’t travel there in person. However, journalists Jordan Dunbar and Ciarán Logue are ready to give her a virtual tour of the city, an introduction to its nightlife and slang, and some fascinating insights into British, Irish and Northern Irish identity. Ciarán teaches journalism at Queen’s University Belfast and he’s asked some students there to share their thoughts on what national identity means to them.

“Geordies - we’re a tenacious bunch of people!”

lundi 4 mai 2020 • Durée 23:03

Something that still occasionally baffles Zing about life in the UK is the British sense of humour. Why does it often involve taking the piss out of the people you love most, or jokes about the bleakest things imaginable? This week Zing puts her questions to a professional: Geordie stand-up comedian, Louise Young. Louise tells Zing about the comedy scene in her home city of Newcastle, what Geordie identity means to her, and Title: “Geordies - we’re a tenacious bunch of people!” Short: Zing chats to Geordie comedian Louise Young Long: Something that still occasionally baffles Zing about life in the UK is the British sense of humour.

Welcome to United Zingdom

lundi 9 mars 2020 • Durée 03:16

Zing Tsjeng, executive editor at VICE UK, can apply for a British passport. But there’s a catch. She’s already got one from Singapore, the country where she was born and raised, and she’s not allowed to have both – it’s either a British passport, or a Singaporean one. Before she makes a decision she wants to know: what does it mean to be British? So she’s going on a trip around the UK to find out.

“Elbow deep in cow muck – and I love this!”

lundi 13 avril 2020 • Durée 21:42

Zing heads to Lytham in rural Lancashire for a trip to Tom Pemberton’s farm. Tom’s the fifth generation of farmers in his family and he’s one of very few young people in the UK working in this tough industry. He’s also something of a farming influencer – his videos about the highs and lows of farming life get thousands of views. He tells Zing about nursing new born calves, chasing escaped cows and why Britain should be proud of its grass.

lundi 6 avril 2020 • Durée 25:39

Zing speaks to poet and photographer Nabeelah Hafeez about what being from Bradford means to her and why the city’s arts scene is thriving now.

“Speaking Welsh is vibrant and cool”

lundi 30 mars 2020 • Durée 25:43

“People have had to really fight to keep the language alive, which is why it’s vibrant now”. Zing heads to Cardiff to meet Lisa Angharad, host of possibly the first ever sex podcast in Welsh – Siarad Secs. Lisa wants to provide young Welsh speakers with frank, open discussions “in the language they have sex in and have those chats with their mates in”. Lisa is also a singer and says that a love of music, singing and harmonising is at the heart of Welsh identity: “If you’re happy, joyous, grieving, whatever – music is something we gravitate towards”. She's proudly Welsh, and doesn't feel "an ounce British" - she tells Zing why.

“British drag is slapdash and hodgepodge”

lundi 23 mars 2020 • Durée 25:11

When RuPaul’s Drag Race launched in the UK last year Zing noticed lots of fans saying the show made them feel strangely patriotic. The contestants were bawdy, slapdash, raucous and not as earnest or polished as the queens of the original American series. This week Zing’s heading to Birmingham - home town of Drag Race star, Sum Ting Wong. They discuss what makes British drag unique, compare stories of coming out to their Asian parents, and take a tour of Sum’s Brum.

"Essex has given me my ballsiness"

lundi 16 mars 2020 • Durée 33:28

Zing heads to Witham to meet self-described proud Essex girl, councillor Chelsey Jay. Chelsey was elected last year to the local town council at the age of 28.
