The 'Diverse Voices' Podcast
This project funded by a UCL East Community Engagement Seed fund was led by Shoba Poduval and Rupy Matharu in collaboration Waltham Forest Future Formed and the Oh Pod! podcast team. The aim of the project was to work with multiple public and professional partners to achieve the UCL East principles of collaboration, co-production and mutual benefit through creative means. We aimed to develop a co-produced podcast series that provides a platform to open up the dialogue between academics and people from east London communities on issues pressing to the public relating to mental health.
Guests include Dr Kate Adlington discussing perinatal mental health, Professor Kurinchi Gurusamy discussing Autism and Professor Oliver Robinson discussing anxiety and psychological distress.
A short video summarising the project and the video podcast episodes are available via the links below:?
