The Roots to Change podcast is hosted by Donya Lamrhari, Systems Change Lead at the Children’s Society (https://www.childrenssociety.org.uk/), a national children’s charity. Our goal is to overturn the damaging decline in children’s wellbeing by 2030 and we know that to do this systemic change is needed. The Children’s Society defines Systems Change as a process of working collaboratively with people to understand and address the root causes of disadvantage for young people; an approach to redesigning and influencing the people, processes, rules, power and structures that make up systems, to achieve positive change. This podcast aims to make Systems Change accessible, by interviewing inspiring professionals and young people in the community and sharing their stories of change.

Going for Broke is a co-production of the Economic Hardship Reporting Project and PRX’s “To The Best of Our Knowledge” at Wisconsin Public Radio. The three-part series hosted by broadcaster Ray Suarez centers on Americans who have lived on the edge. They share their sometimes startling economic experiences and also insight into our society as a whole. Each hour also includes some of our country’s top thinkers on income inequality, among them the legendary writer Barbara Ehrenreich, author of the classic “Nickel and Dimed,” who passed away in September 2022. In each episode we ask: what would result if we put more care into how we dealt with housing or mental health crises or our workplaces? Going for Broke explores these questions, moving from powerful personal accounts to visionary solutions.
