Podcast Overview
<p>Hello and welcome to the Be Better Library podcast series hosted by Evie Manuel and Peter Kerwood. We are incredibly excited to have you listening with us (although Peter is amazed anyone is listening other than his mum and his aunty Sue). </p><br><p>In this podcast series, we explore the books that have inspired us. Not only are we talking about the books but we are then exploring around the books. So for each book that we discuss there is an alternative index (a publicly shared Google doc) which you’ll find on our <a href="https://www.instagram.com/bebetterlibrary" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Instagram</a> and LinkedIn. This index will list our favourite sections from our chosen books plus podcasts that feature the author and articles and websites. It’s basically the rabbit hole we would go down every time we talked about a book with all the information in one place. So you will not only find out about the book itself but you will be able to delve into everything we have found around that book. </p><br><p>We really hope you enjoy coming on this journey with us as we explore all the books that we have never got round to reading but now we’re forcing ourselves to.</p><br><p>This podcast was produced by <a href="https://www.peterkerwood.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Peter Kerwood</a>.

Episode 3. How to Own the Room: Women and the Art of Brilliant Speaking by Viv Groskop
In this episode we discuss Viv Groskop’s brilliant book and award nominated, chart-topping podcast of the same name. This episode is a bit different. We wanted to put the things we learnt from Viv’s book and podcast into practice, so we recorded the episode in front of an audience on Zoom. As Viv would say, this is a room owning investigation into all the best tips tricks hints and hacks about finding your voice and helping you get ready to own the stage, the boardroom, some horrific Zoom meeting (not ours obviously) or even the space in your own head. However you want to own the room is the right way to own the room its all a question of the guts and quiet confidence to discover what your version of that looks like.<hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

Episode 2. The Art of Gathering: How We Meet and Why it Matters by Priya Parker
<p>The book we are talking about in our second episode was chosen by Peter. The Art of Gathering: How we meet and why it matters by Priya Parker is part journey, part guidebook, a masterclass on the psychology of gathering.</p><p> </p><p>Priya is a master facilitator trained in the field of conflict resolution. Priya has spent 15 years helping leaders and communities around the world have complicated conversations about community, identity and vision at moments of transition. She is the executive producer and host of the brilliant New York Times podcast, Together Apart and a TED speaker on purpose.</p><br><p>Priya says: “Gatherings crackle and flourish when real thought goes into them, when an often invisible structure is baked into them, and when the host has a curiosity, willingness, and generosity of spirit to try.” </p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

Episode 1. Invisible Women, Exposing Data Bias in a World Designed For Men by Caroline Criado Perez
<p>Kicking us off on episode 1 of our new podcast, Evie has chosen Invisible Women, Exposing Data Bias in a World Designed For Men by Caroline Criado Perez. </p><br><p>Imagine a world where your phone is too big for your hand, your doctor prescribes a drug that’s not right for your body, and in a car accident, you are 47% more likely to be seriously injured. If any of this sounds familiar, chances are that you’re a woman.</p><br><p>Jeanette Winterton calls the book A secular Bible. The Financial Times says it’s like Simone de Beauvoir with data and Nicola Sturgeon thinks it should be required reading for policy and decision-makers everywhere. We think Caroline Criado Perez has created a mind-blowing book that literally changes the way we now see everything. </p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
