Ready for a dose of inspiration? The 'More Than My Past' podcast is back with a fresh series, and hosts Jason Flemyng and Julie Muir are here to guide you through it. This introductory episode sets the stage for what's to come, featuring a documentary-style approach that dives into themes like family background, housing, stigma, education, and work.
You'll hear from a diverse group of guests who have faced the twin challenges of addiction and incarceration but have emerged with stories of resilience and transformation. Michael Balogun, Marie-Claire O'Brien, Jane Shea, Liz Jones, Corey Johnson, Raf Chaves, Tony Attwood, and Speedo Mick are just some of the voices you'll meet. Each one brings a unique perspective on overcoming life's hurdles and finding a path to recovery and renewal.
Adding to the mix, there's an insightful interview with Rory Stewart, former Minister of State for Prisons, offering his take on crime, prisons, and societal issues. Whether you're looking for motivation or simply curious about these incredible journeys, this episode promises to deliver powerful narratives that challenge stigmas and inspire change. So, tune in and get ready to be moved by stories that prove second chances are real.
