S3 E5: Physical Activity: How Your Movement Could Support A Movement

from Switch · host Ashna and Lydia

Today we discuss physical activity and the links it has to social impact. We start by discussing the intersection of yoga, yoga philosophy and social impact, as there are links there which Lydia, as a yoga teacher, has come to realise through her training. We then move to other ways in which physical activity and sports can have socially positive effects.A couple of links to initiatives we mention in the episode:GoodGym - Helping the community while getting a workoutFight for Peace - Combines boxing and martial arts with personal development and education for kid. Teaching peaceful, fun conflict without the need for violence.Equality - LGBTQ+ sports leagues and clubs around the world are a demonstration of the socially-connecting and educational power of sports, for example Queer Surf Club.You can try a gym powered by human energy - Terra Hale in London runs the lights and speakers on pedal power - one class generates enough energy to supply a computer for a day.Tell us what you think at podcastswitch.com or @podcastswitch.

Join our cast of trained improvisers and tabletop enthusiasts as we switch off between short-form and long-form RPG campaigns using a whole slew of different game systems, all with an emphasis on collaborative discovery and high-quality performance. ”Short-form campaigns”, you ask? In these campaigns, we create and explore a brand-new world from scratch every month using the Fate Accelerated RPG system! When we sit down to record, nobody—not even the GM—knows who their characters are, or what the story is going to look like.”Long-form campaigns”, you continue? These are more like the campaigns you’re probably used to, with a consistent set of characters adventuring over an extended number of sessions. Which RPG system will we play next? Who knows! We’ll just find out as we go.Episodes release every other Wednesday.
