Family carers play an indispensable role in supporting loved ones who need assistance due to age, illness, or disability. The commitment and dedication required to fulfill this role can be both rewarding and overwhelming. One of the most important, yet often overlooked, aspects of being an effective carer is the willingness to accept help. Saying "yes" to offers of assistance can significantly enhance the wellbeing of both the care...

In a world often focused on self-improvement and personal success, the act of helping others might seem secondary. However, aiding those around us is not just beneficial for the recipients; it profoundly impacts our own wellbeing.
In our fast-paced world, where everyone seems to be in a hurry, a simple gesture like a friendly smile or a wave of acknowledgment to a passerby on the street can have a profound impact. These small acts of kindness, though often overlooked, can significantly enhance both the giver's and the receiver's sense of wellbeing and community connection. Let’s explore the powerful effects of these simple gestures and how they contribute to...
In a world often overshadowed by the hustle and bustle of daily life, it’s easy to overlook the small acts of kindness that surround us. These moments, though seemingly insignificant, have the power to profoundly impact our wellbeing and the wellbeing of others.

In the digital age, the internet has revolutionised the way we connect and engage with others. The internet offers incredible opportunities for genuine interaction and community building.

In an increasingly fragmented world, the concept of social cohesion has never been more critical. Social cohesion refers to the bonds that bring society together, fostering a sense of belonging, trust, and cooperation among individuals and communities. It is a powerful mechanism for enhancing both individual and collective wellbeing. One of the most effective ways to build social cohesion is through creative programs, which not onl...
In an increasingly digital world, the importance of physical public spaces such as parks and libraries cannot be overstated. These spaces serve as critical antidotes to social isolation and loneliness, offering environments where people can connect, engage, and thrive. As we navigate the complexities of modern life, parks and libraries remain pillars of community interaction and mental wellbeing.
While the act of caring is deeply rewarding, it is also fraught with emotional and physical challenges that can lead to an overwhelming sense of isolation. For many carers, the sense that something is missing is a recurring, enigmatic presence that can be difficult to articulate or address.

The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
