World on fire: El Niño and Labour’s ULEZ debate - with Media Storm Jul 28, 2023

Show notes

LIVE SHOW ANNOUNCEMENT: Media Storm will be live at the London Podcast Festival this September, on Saturday 16th at 7pm! Book tickets now to join us as we breakdown the craziest headlines of 2023: https://www.kingsplace.co.uk/whats-on/words/media-storm-2/

Around the world, El Niño is causing extreme weather events and soaring global temperatures to alarming levels.

Meanwhile in the UK, Labour is playing internal blame-games after a by-election defeat in Boris Johnson’s old seat of Uxbridge and South Ruislip.

What do these two stories have in common?

Running through the UK’s political factionalism is a debate over London Mayor Sadiq Khan’s plan to expand ULEZ. This is a debate about climate policy, but climate is missing from its coverage.

In this episode, Media Storm hosts Mathilda and Helena discuss the week’s top headlines and the missing links between them. They are joined by climate podcast producer Thimali Kodikara to examine what the mainstream media could be doing better in its climate coverage.

The episode is created by Mathilda Mallinson (@mathildamall) and Helena Wadia (@helenawadia). The music is by Samfire (@soundofsamfire).

Unpicking the media storm - Trans rights as a threat to women Jul 20, 2023

Show notes

Warning: strong language and mention of rape

Are trans rights a threat to women? Or is that narrative itself the real threat?

Actor, author and activist Charlie Craggs joins journalists Helena Wadia and Mathilda Mallinson in the studio this week, to pick apart mainstream media efforts to pitch cis women against their trans counterparts: where has it come from, who is it serving, and how is it being weaponised against women themselves?

The hosts also spill the beans from their trip to Parliament, which took an unexpected turn for the transphobic.

LIVE SHOW ANNOUNCEMENT: Media Storm, from the house of The Guilty Feminist, will be LIVE at the London Podcast Festival this September, on Saturday 16th at 7pm! Book tickets now to join us as we breakdown the craziest headlines of 2023: https://www.kingsplace.co.uk/whats-on/words/media-storm-2/

Misogyny in the media: Media Storm goes to Parliament! Jul 06, 2023

Show notes

This week, Media Storm spoke in Parliament!

Helena & Mathilda were in the halls of Westminster to speak to MPs and Parliamentarians about misogyny in the media: how the media can responsibly report on domestic abuse and gender-based violence, and why lived-experience should be at the heart of reporting.

Media Storm were invited by Hacked Off (@hackedoffcampaign), the group calling for reform of UK press self-regulation. They were joined by Impress (@impress_org), a self-regulatory body for UK publishers, The Fawcett Society (@fawcettsociety), the UK's leading charity campaigning for gender equality and women's rights, and Melanie Skyes (@msmelaniesykes), TV presenter and Editor-in-chief of the The Frank Magazine. You can buy Melanie's new book 'Illuminated', which charts her history with the press.

In this episode, you can hear from the amazing women who spoke in Parliament, and then listen back to part of Media Storm's third ever episode - where Helena & Mathilda spoke with two gender equality activists, Dr Leyla Hussain and Gina Martin, about how the mainstream media upholds misogyny and depicts victims of sexual assault - and what we should do about it.
