Introducing "Getting Reflective"

Getting Reflective - a podcast about unlearning, with Lindsay Bindman (she/her) A lot of what we’re taught growing up, either through our schooling, the media, or simply wider society, is harmful. We know that people aren’t born racist, sexist, or homophobic. They learn it. And so, we must unlearn. With this in mind, I have embarked on a lifelong journey of unlearning and relearning. And it’s not one I can go on alone. I am meeting, connecting with, and learning from activists, public servants, migrants, writers, artists, poets, and anyone who is dedicating time to leaving our fractured world better than we found it. Sometimes during our quest to unlearn, and to be better allies out in the world, we get things wrong! I believe we should embrace that. No one is perfect, but together we can get better. I like to think of this podcast as not a calling out, but a calling in. I’d love you to join me on this journey. So listen, reflect, write to me, and let’s discuss! In this introductory episode, I’ve included some snippets of my interviews thus far, to give you a sense of what we’re discussing, and show you how much fun we can have along the way. I hope you enjoy. - My music is written and recorded by the Kingston High All Stars in Wellington, New Zealand. My graphics are done by MyMaggsyMayCo, in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada.
