The Echo Chamber from Tortoise Shack

Please join us at patreon.com/tortoiseshack
Listeners will be aware of the story of the late Harvey Sherratt, who passed away at only nine and a half years old. Many of you would also know of the dedicated activism and campaigning done by his parents, Gillian and Stephen; two remarkable people, doing incredible advocacy under the most heart-breaking of circumstances.
They both joined me in the Tortoise Shack for an evening where we discussed activism, their campaign, State failures, Simon Harris's broken promise, the importance of great neighbours, their personal grief journeys, and how their determination to let the world know that Harvey mattered keeps them going. Please listen.

"You spent the last four years telling these people you don’t want them. And then you wonder why they don’t vote for you."
— Philip O'Connor
Lock-in, this is a long one.
The recent Swedish elections have left many asking who won? Philip O'Connor returns to the Echo Chamber Podcast to discuss the results and the implications of a government that appears to be neither here. Turns out you can be just a little too racist.
Then we dive into the Trump nonsense, the antisemitism in public issue, A.I. seeking regulation-ish, what the NAZA documentary says about western media, and more

Hala Hanina is an academic, a writer, a student of colonialism and host of the podcast, Falasteeniya. She left Gaza to complete her PhD a few days before October 7th. Now in London, she lives a life in many realms, pursuing academia, constantly checking in on her family in Gaza, and helping to platform the voices that might otherwise go unheard.
She shares the story of her own wedding day and talks about how the Gaza of then, and many of the people who attended, no longer exist. We also share our mutual experiences of using our platforms to raise voices and capture stories.
