Hey, I'm Betty! :) I talk about relationships, mental health, disability, politics, and whatever else I can think of, with whoever I can convince to join me. Baaaaasically, I'm just trying to have some conversations with a little bit of juice.
...
See what I did there?
Welcome to Episode 17, my lovely listeners. In this one, I'm speaking to three members of the NEWISM event (that's North East Women In Soul Music for those who don't know): Kate Bond, Georgia May, and FALLU. In between all the nervous giggles and slight digressions, we talk about how they all came to meet, how they got into soul music, and what it's like to be young women in the music industry at the minute. So once you've given the podcast a go, I highly recommend that you give all three of the girls a google and their tunes a listen - and, if you can, get yourselves down to the NEWISM event in Newcastle on 28th October!!

16. Juice on Juice!
It's Episode 16, and I know I always say I'm excited about episodes, but this one is a really special one: I'm talking to Dan and Ben from Juice! Aside from having a genius name, Juice is a very cool, very groovy band based across the pond in NYC and in this episode I'm talking to Dan and Ben about their relationships with social media, masculinity in the music business, and there's even a little bit about swearing in Russian for absolutely no reason. Thank you to them for joining me, and we hope you like what you hear! (Be sure to give their tunes a stream too - once you've listened to the podcast of course...)

15. A Nigerian in Bradford
It's been so long! Missed you:( In Episode 15 I spend most of the time listening to my friend Adzira telling me about growing up in Nigeria, moving to England in his early teens, experiencing bullying, racial stereotyping, and learning to be more comfortable with who he is. It was a really enjoyable conversation and made me realise that we don't take the time to ask some of our closest friends about what's going on in their lives. So thank you to Adzira for sharing all of this with me, and I hope you love it as much as we loved recording it!

14. Three's a crowd..?
It's Episode 14, wow wow look how far we've come. In this instalment of Juice I'm speaking to Emmeline and Kirsty about sexualityyy since they're both bisexual and I'd never really asked them much about that before. Oh, and Rish makes an appearance as we discuss how being male/female might influence how comfortable you are with experimenting with sexuality. Basically, there's lots of good stuff in this one and I think you'll like it, so make sure to give it a save and a listen!

11. Redefining those beauty standards
Goood afternooonn:) this week, I spoke to the powerful Niamh Woods about her experience as a young model with Ecto-Dermal Skin Dysplasia. We talk about the lack of physical diversity in the media, and how society's understanding of 'beauty' has impacted what we each think about ourselves. Niamh is a beauty, and this conversation was one of my favourites, so make sure you give it a listen then follow her Instagram @niamhalexiswoods to keep up to date with her modelling.

10. You'd better watch that accent !
We're into the dOuBLe fiGUrEs now with Episode 10 of Juice; which is mental. This time I'm talking to my friend Laura, who is now in her third year at Cambridge University. Both Laura and I went to school together in Bradford and whilst we're both proud of where we're from, the English education system is pretty elitist...so when you reach those red-brick universities, if you want to be taken seriously, then you'd better watch that accent.

9. Male harassment and street violence
It's Episode 9, and it only felt right to devote a podcast to talking about mine and my friends' reactions to the murder of Sarah Everard. When tragedies such as this happen, I really think that the best thing to do is to talk about it with the people you feel most comfortable around. So in this episode, Alice, Rachel, George, Raahat, Joe (when he managed to make it off the bus lol) and I discuss male harassment, street violence, and what we can do to help each other feel safer.

Happy Valentine's Day lovers; this week I'm joined by two of my best gal pals and we're talking about sex. Scandalous (!), I know.
