Author: Nadia, Fran, Eugene March 31, 2024 Duration: 26:50
The clocks just went forward by an hour, the days are longer and brighter so we thought it will be a good moment to look back at some of our favourite 'check-ins' over the past 6 years. From our very first episode where we bumbled our way through explaining the podcast, to some episodes that left us in fits of laughter and tears. If you are looking for some joy to pick you up then this is the episode for you. Plus, with April Fool’s Day approaching, this episode really does tick ...

Grab a seat in the front room with Nadia, Fran, and Eugene, three practicing social workers who turn their shared profession into a compelling weekly conversation. The Social Matters Podcast is where the theoretical meets the practical, as they unpack the social, cultural, and scientific dimensions of the issues shaping our communities. You’ll hear the kind of debate that only happens between trusted friends-direct, informed, and often challenging, but never without warmth. They aren’t afraid of hard truths, yet their dynamic is rooted in a genuine, top-drawer humour that makes even the heaviest topics feel accessible and human. Each episode feels like you’re listening in on a crucial discussion that’s equal parts professional insight and personal reflection, all recorded from their own studio. This podcast digs into the why and how of society’s structures, offering listeners not just analysis but a sense of shared understanding. Tune in for a perspective that is both grounded in daily reality and thoughtfully connected to broader educational and cultural currents.
