The Open Forum Podcast

By: Sunny S
  • Summary

  • The open forum podcast aims to be a space where people with differing views and ideas can come to openly explore those without fear of being demonised, de-platformed or otherwise. It’s the place to hear about anything and everything, from everybody’s favourite virus to economics to climate change to general science & history! Nothing is off limits, so sit back and prepare to open your mind! Evidence to back up the things talked about, where possible, will be posted in the description for each episode so you can go away with the facts, or, receipts, that matter in hand and hopefully walking away more informed than when you walked in!

  • 029 | The Trust Fall: Julian Assange, Wikileaks and Free Speech | Kym Staton
    Mar 18 2024

    This time I speak with Kym Staton, Award winning film director having started with Films for Change, a way to host, promote and distribute documentaries the globe over. We're going to be discussing the documentary he has made - The Trust Fall - Julian Assange and the implications the Assange trial has for press freedoms, global freedom of speech & democracy at large, or the glaring indictment against democracy.

    At the end of this episode I play the collateral murder video for posterity. 00:00 Intro 00:41 The Trust Fall documentary Trailer 04:05 Why did you decide to make the documentary? 09:50 Why did Julian go into exile in the Ecuadorian embassy for 7 years 10:45 Julian is constantly accused of r@pe, what really happened with the Sweden case? 13:40 Did Julian's journalism put any lives at risk? Did he redact names? 17:05 "The Big Lie" 18:55 Wikileaks being debanked, but criminals not. 21:30 How much more info would we have with Ukraine & Gaza if Julian was still free to disseminate info? 23:16 What does this say about the state of Journalism as a whole? 27:16 Why do we have so few whistleblowers? 32:00 What are they charging him with in the Espionage act? 33:30 The erosion of our free speech over the centuries 39:15 How is it they're giving Assange a "slow death" through his imprisonment and mental torture? 43:30 Why is there so much unawareness on a societal level? 51:00 parallels between Julian Assange and Alexei Navalny 53:40 Why haven't the UK just handed him over anyhow? 53:50 What is the Collateral Murder video? 01:01:10 Where can people watch The Trust Fall: Julian Assange and how can we get our cinema to show it? 01:07:10 How can people get in touch and find you?

  • 027 | Child Abuse lawyer Dino Nocivelli speaks on how we can better help victims and what to look out for
    Dec 28 2023

    Dino Nocivelli is a partner in the abuse department at leigh day law firm and actively works towards law reforms as it pertains sexual abuse and has appeared in various media outlets such as the BBC, ITV & others as well as IICSA - the independent inquiry into child sexual abuse - CSA- providing expert opinion and testimony. In this episode following on from my chat on child trafficking last time with Craig Sawyer, we discuss CSA, how we can help victims, recognising the signs of someone in distress as well as what we should be aware of when it comes to abusers - and no, it's not the stereotypical weirdo in a long coat near schools or "stranger danger" that is the threat to our children!

    00:00 Intro 00:42 Who is Dino & what does he do 03:35 Why does it take so long for children to come forward after abuse? 10:25 How can we help prevent abuse victims from falling into substance abuse? 13:10 Mandatory reporting isn't always a thing! 15:10 Abusers never have just 1 victim. 18:50 How do abusers move from place to place without recourse? 22:30 Is there a concerted effort to protect abusers because those in positions of power are themselves abusers? 37:30 Does prison reform work or do abuse victims go on to become abusers? 42:20 Recidivism rate and are prison sentences adequate? 51:20 Links between pornography and abuse 57:40 How can people find you and your work?
