Two and a Mic - The Social Podcast

di Zak

Relationships, experiences, places and thoughts. I speak with individuals I have met along the way, talking about personal stories, impressions, life and dreams. Society is the sum of ups and downs, some we share, most we never hear of. Here some voices rise above the rest to tell their unique tales and I thank you all for allowing me to listen and record your stories. Find me on Twitter @TwoandaMic1

  • Sheltering Armenians from the constant fire from Azeris: an endless battle for survival.

    Sheltering Armenians from the constant fire from Azeris: an endless battle for survival.

    The Aghmoog Collective is a group of artists in Montreal who have come together to raise money for the vulnerable Armenians living near the border with Azerbaijan. These people have to contend with sporadic weapon fire from Azeri soldiers, without reason, without warning. They have little to no defences, no shelter and no support. All the funds raised will go to building shelters to buy these people time, to protect themselves until Armenian forces arrive to defend them. Your contribution will save lives and offer a sense of hope to those above whom the clouds are gathering.

  • Smart nature systems and collaborative thinking in a sustainable hub in India - supported by WeltHungerHilfe

    Smart nature systems and collaborative thinking in a sustainable hub in India - supported by WeltHungerHilfe

    Holistic and structural sustainability in small communities around the world. That is what Nutrition Smart Communities could lead to one day. Power shifting from knowledge superiority to respect for local knowledge, awareness and cooperation. Supporting one another over being dominant and subservient. Partnerships rather than lead-and-follow one-way streets. In this episode we hear what the teams have learned working on this fantastic project in India. My thanks as always to Philippe for his invaluable insights, and to Saroj for putting this altogether.

  • Racism is an agenda even in the healthcare sector

    Racism is an agenda even in the healthcare sector

    If Dr Boshart does not act in a way Canadian doctors feel comfortable with, that will earn her a label. The fine line of acceptable professional and “angry Indian woman” is placed in front of people by the limited worldviews of systemic societal racism. What is the solution? Dr Boshart suggests we have to get together more as humans. We shouldn’t keep people so separate. We need to get to know each other, understand one another, and break down the walls of ignorance. Here Dr Boshart speaks about her experiences and thoughts on racism in Canada and what she sees glancing across the border into Trump’s USA. Thank you Dr Boshart for your time.

  • The integrity of Armenia’s borders are being threatened by dictatorial petrostate Azerbaijan

    The integrity of Armenia’s borders are being threatened by dictatorial petrostate Azerbaijan

    After the ethnic cleansing of Armenians in Karabakh, Azerbaijan has not had enough and through lies and false flag events, is setting the stage for its invasion of Armenia. This is how the EU’s trade partner behaves, and the EU has done little to discourage genocidal dictator Aliyev from this course. Harut talks with me about the situation in Armenia as well as in Syria with regards to the Alawites. We know so much less than we think we know and if we only consume western news outlets, we will come to learn less and less and less. Thank you Harut for your time.

  • Do you find politics too frustrating? Are you fed up with inept politicians? You're not alone!

    Do you find politics too frustrating? Are you fed up with inept politicians? You're not alone!

    The calm breeze caresses the pond. Slow ripples, like silent waves skate along the surface. Then a kid chucks a stone ‘plonk’ right into the middle and the pond sends angry flows to every side. The child stands over the pond in awe at the chaos. The flows gently becalm and the pond returns to its peaceful serenity. We are that pond. We are resilient to a fault. We have this confidence that everything will go back to what it was regardless of what happens. Yet we are not talking about these superficial occurrences anymore. Political movements like ripples come and go. A childish president dropping a stone or two here and there. Yet we return to normal thereafter. So it’s all ok, right? We can ride it out can’t we? I don’t think we can anymore. I think the problem is more significant. I think we have realised that the pond is not a natural body of water, but a skilfully designed bath that masks the falsity of its creation. It is the manipulation we have all lived under, grown with and tried to escape occasionally succeeding only in sliding back down the sheer wet sides. Yet that’s not the worst of it. The sinister creators of this fake pool have a plug at the bottom and a filter over that. When they pull the plug, most of this pond is going to disappear and only the ones with the right connections will be saved by the filter. Do not be fooled any longer. This pool will either be drained, or it will dry out, and we’re going to be screwed either way… TwoandaMic clocking out. #RiseUp I welcome opinions of every kind so please come and find me on social media at: Instagram: TwoandaMic Twitter: TwoandaMic1 Should I really have to ask? 😉 If you like the developing story of this social journey unfurling in my series of podcasts, feel more than free, feel partially responsible for spreading the word by subscribing and sharing and where possible, liking.
