WELCOME to BristolianArt - Uncensored, unedited, unscripted and a new experiment in sound. This is episode 11 of I don't know how many.

I was contacted by some students today, who are increasingly frustrated with the deliverance of their education that they are currently receiving. Guy is a Fine Art student who has returned to study an undergraduate degree having been a Doctor in the past. Many students and many of them young are having to continue paying the massive tuition fees of £9000 per year and having nearly all their teaching and contact time delivered online. Many students have also moved into student accommodations - unable to leave. What impact is this having on their mental health?

I gave Guy a call to discuss some of these things. Guy mentions an article posted in the Financial times which is here: https://cutt.ly/5hskpAl and also mentioned the campaign which is asking students to answer all feedback from the university with a zero. This is #UWEZERO and can be found on Insta, FB and twitter. 

Hope you find it interesting. As always, if you have anything to add to this discussion please get in touch and if you have something you want to AIR - then join me on the podcast and we can give it a thorough airing!

BristolianArt - Episode 11 - Student Experience

Welcome to episode 12 of BristolianArt - Trying to tell stories in essence and in the process trying to raise some truth about the world that we inhabit.

Recently, Avonmouth was in the news - Globally this time, where there was a massive explosion down there at the YTL owned Wessex Water site. Sadly, 4 people lost their lives with one of them being a 16 year old - who according to Ian was on work experience/apprentice.

I chat to Ian Robinson tonight, who in my opinion is a powerhouse of knowledge of just what is going down in Avonmouth and moreover in Bristol as a city. Ian lives down in Avonmouth and through many ways has tried to raise awareness about the situation so many residents are up in arms about.

I say no more. Have a listen. Please share, RT and send me your feedback on this. If you would like to tell some stories about - well literally anything, then please get in touch and I'd be happy to have you on the podcast.

AVONMOUTH TRUTH IS RISING

BristolianArt - Episode 12 - Avonmouth: truth is rising

A special 2020/2021 episode of BRISTOLIANART!

Deciding earlier this year that something was not right, I knew and know full well that I need to make some changes to how I live and have been living my life. Todays podcast also went out live on fb as part of an experiment. I don't know what I'm doing really - but who in the end does.

Enjoy the conversation and I hope you have a successful, productive and interesting time forward from this one. Something for me has been niggling away at me for sometime and I know now I need to make some changes. 

Big love and see you soon.
