Stories of Resistance

Stories of Resistance, a nine-part podcast series launched in January 2023, uncovering some of Bristol’s lesser-known stories of contemporary activism.

From the story of how one moment changed the direction of a grassroots boxing club, to a mother’s journey into disability activism, to changing the face of environmentalism and pushing for better gender representation in the music industry, these podcast explored the stories of ordinary people fighting for change.

The series was created by Bristol residents during workshops with award winning journalist and broadcaster Miranda Rae (Sound Women SW and Ujima Radio). Over four months Miranda hosted group and 1-2-1 training sessions where participants learned how to produce, research, record and present podcasts.
