Media Storm will be LIVE at London Podcast Festival, Saturday 16th September at 7pm.

If you follow her online, you may be aware of her determined activism.  Since 2008, Nazanin has represented Amnesty International’s campaigns for the restoration of stolen human rights. In the aftermath of the 1979 Iranian Revolution, Nazanin's parents fled Iran for safety in London. Her fight may have started in her mother's womb, but it certainly didn't end there.  Since September 2022, a new revolution has been ongoing in Iran after Mahsa Amini, a 22 year-old woman, died in police custody. Her crime? Allegedly violating Iran’s strict rules requiring women to cover their hair with a hijab. Nazanin has been fighting for the voices of Iranian women & girls to be heard worldwide. In this special episode, Media Storm hosts Helena Wadia and Mathilda Mallinson speak to Nazanin about her story, and how to report on Iran - and crises around the world - without demonising foreign cultures.   Buy the team a coffee on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/MediaStormPodcast  This episode is created by Mathilda Mallinson (@mathildamall) and Helena Wadia (@helenawadia).

It’s a common feeling: the desire to stand firmly for equality while also catching yourself in moments that don’t quite live up to that ideal. The Guilty Feminist tackles that very human contradiction head-on, with humor and honesty. Hosted by comedian and Writers’ Guild Award winner Deborah Frances-White, this live-audience podcast creates a space where the grand ambitions of modern feminism meet the messy, sometimes hilarious realities of everyday life. Each episode features conversations with guests where they explore not just the principles they champion, but the personal hypocrisies and insecurities that can trip them up. The result is a comedy podcast that feels more like a candid conversation among friends-one where laughter is just as important as the lesson. You’ll hear discussions that are both thought-provoking and genuinely funny, all rooted in the understanding that trying to be better is a process, not a perfect performance. Deborah Frances-White guides these explorations with wit and warmth, making complex topics accessible and relatable. Tuning in means joining a community that doesn’t claim to have all the answers, but is committed to asking the right questions, together.
