3 podcasts to warm your heart

October is the month of thrills and chills as Halloween approaches, but we’re also in need of a bit of calm and warmth. So here’s a selection of 3 podcasts that should be called safe places, and which will make you feel like snuggling up in a cosy blanket on a rainy day.

Marzieh Ebrahimi, Iranian figurehead

Look her straight in the eye. Yes, look at her. Her scarifications content the atrocity of the violence done to those who “dare” to live normally. Disfigured? No. A figure of bravery, rather. If Marzieh’s attackers thought they had dug her grave, they have in fact raised to the top a woman of great beauty that they will not have completely erased. Now a spokesperson for all the oppressed women in her country, Iran, Marzieh is fighting the battle of her life. A fight for freedom.
