Critical Change is evolving! On August 1st you will be able to experience the first Critical Change Podcast! This will become a monthly feature, covering different topics every month and acting as an open forum for debate amongst the activist and hopefully in time, the mainstream community. We will be seeking to bring together the many social change movements, as well as reaching the mass public and helping them to become involved where before they may have been resigned to apathy.
So who will be joining Critical Change? I'd like to welcome on board as contributors Ed Alan and Raihan Islam, who will join as writers and presenters for both the blog and podcast.
So let's find out more about the team that will be involved!
Derek Kirkup
Though my background is in music I have always had a very keen interest in psychology. Now I am focused on making a difference on a global scale and discovering the means by which I can help other people make this difference. I hope with the Critical Change podcast to build bridges between the activist causes and your average person on the street, helping them to see the significance of social change and empowering them with ways to begin enacting this change. I believe that the issues we will be discussing are relevant to everyone, we simply have to give them the tools and the confidence to act.
Ed Alan
I became involved after being dissatisfied with other efforts at raising awareness into these subjects as promoted by Jacque Fresco and The Venus Project and other similar advocates of "Social Change". I have a background in music and also debate in the “skeptic community”. I hope to make sure that this is all based on sound rational evidence.
Raihan Islam
Hey everyone, I'm Raihan, and I grew up in Virginia Beach in the states. You'll get to know more about me as the show progresses, but on Critical Change, I'm hoping to get you to think about who you are and seeing where that discovery takes you. My primary interests are focused in communication design and how communication on a whole can be used as a force for progression but also as a force for stagnation and even regression. Sounds broad, but I'll keep things simple.
We have chosen the topic for our first show to be Societal Apathy. Our first show will be around 20 minutes long and in these 20 minutes will be included a discussion on apathy, who it affects and why it affects them. We will also be taking your comments and questions on this topic, as well as any other questions you would like to pose to us which we will answer near the end of the show. This is going to be a highly collaborative venture, between us the presenters and also you, the audience. As such we would like to begin by asking you this question:
In your life, has there been an emotional event or trigger that persuaded you to try and make a difference?
Please send us your responses by Friday 24th July and we will seek to include as many of them as possible in the show!
We will be happy to hear any other questions or comments you may have, which we will explore in a separate question and answer session.
We hope you are as excited about this new venture as we are, our hopes are high for the positive influence we could have. We want you to be involved in this positive influence on society too, so don't be shy, leave us a comment on the blog, our twitter, or use our temporary email: criticalchange@sonisis.com
We look forward to hearing from you!
The Critical Change Team – Ed, Raihan and Derek.
