Random Poverty Podcasts

With audio postcards from the streets, and inspiring interviews with community activists and heroes of Reno, we address issues of homelessness, the disappearance of public space, gentrification and the value of helping each other out from our base in Reno, Nevada. We do live reporting, micro storytelling and spoken word. As we face an affordable housing crisis, what happens to our most vulnerable? We also feature #keeprenorad musicians and artists. #Helpeachother is our motto.

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.
