REFUGEES WELCOME HERE (with Lord Alf Dubs and Josie Naughton) - a podcast by Mystery Jets, UROK Management, Cup & Nuzzle, Acast
from 2020-06-01T08:00
How welcoming is Britain as a country today? What part does climate change play in the refugee crisis? What does it mean to choose love? Blaine sits down with his friend Josie Naughton, co-founder of ‘Help Refugees’ to find out the answer to all these questions, and learns how the NGO have gone on to help over a million displaced people since they first drove a van out to ‘The Jungle’ camp in Calais, in 2015.
This week’s opening thought features Lord Alf Dubs reading the poem ‘Refugee Blues’ by W.H Auden.
At the end of this episode you will hear ‘Cenotaph’ from Mystery Jets’ critically acclaimed new album ‘A Billion Heartbeats’. You can buy and stream the album here.
‘Things worth Fighting For’ is produced by Matt Everitt for Cup and Nuzzle and Matthew Twaites.
