Protests, local heroes, and the Bearpit

from Inside Bristol Live · host Reach Podcasts

This week on the show, we talk to reporter Robin Murray about a feature he is working on based on characters in the city we all know and love. Robin talks us through why he decided to write a feature celebrating these memorable personalities, he tells us what has been like to meet and chat to these characters, and discusses his future ambitions for the series.Next up, host Alex has a in depth chat with a fellow Alex in the office! Reporter Alex Wood talks us through his coverage about the Bearpit and a huge new redevelopment that could well become a reality. The Bearpit is well known in Bristol, it's a subway underneath a roundabout with space in the centre. The idea has also been to use this space to help businesses and bring the community together, however, time and time again it has faced challenges. Reporter Alex talks us through those challenges and the plans to try and successfully bring the space into the present.Last (but certainly not least), we talk to digital content editor Briana Millett on covering protests. Bristol has more than its fair share of protests and Briana explains how we cover these events, what we look out for, how we try to be balanced and the other difficulties when dealing with passionate people fighting for what they believe in. They can be heated and hard to cover but for better or worse, it's something Bristol Live consider an important part of the city and essential to report on.If you'd like to follow us or any of the reporters featured in today's episode, here are the links:Inside Bristol Live: @IBLpodcastHost Alex Ballinger: @ambhackRobin Murray: @Rob_Murray92Alex Wood: @MrAlexWoodBriana Millett: @brianamillettLinks to this episode's storieshttps://www.bristolpost.co.uk/whats-on/food-drink/meet-the-voice-bedminster-bristols-1497980https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/news/bristol-news/bristols-bearpit-roundabout-being-renamed-1579639https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/news/bristol-news/palestine-protesters-told-bring-banners-1564061 For information regarding your data privacy, visit acast.com/privacy Learn more about your ad choices.

The stigma of mental health within those who serve in the shadow of the cross is something that invokes the stigma of fear. Many of those in the clergy will choose to suffer in their despair rather than reaching out for help. Sometimes those suffering choose to wait until it's too late to get the real help that they need. At Wounded Warriors of the Cross our mission is to lift the stigma and the veil of silence that encompasses clergy mental health and assist those who suffer in silence. Wounded Warriors of the Cross is here to shed the light of Christ's love into those dark places.
