Society & Culture
My guests today are Raakhi Shah, Chief Executive of The Circle, an NGO founded by British singer-songwriter Annie Lennox, which fights for a fairer world for women and girls, and Kalpona Akter, the leading garment factory activist in Bangladesh and an ambassador to The Circle. I’m so pleased to welcome them as guests during a week that counts both the anniversary of the Rana Plaza tragedy, and Earth Day. We also welcome respected novelist and literary critic Hermioine Hoby, with her first book review for The Green Dream Podcast: Rebecca Solnit's book, "Orwell's Roses." https://docs.google.com/document/d/1xZquOZONdHHBDFIRA8_e7hAII_o3zVbG4hXuLCuL4kE/edit?usp=sharing (Read the transcript) of this episode More abouthttps://www.danathomas.com/index.html ( Dana Thomas) More about https://www.hermionehoby.com/ (Hermione Hoby) More about https://www.linkedin.com/in/raakhi-shah-8628b24a/?originalSubdomain=uk (Raakhi Shaw) More about https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalpona_Akter (Kalpona Akter) Read more about the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2013_Dhaka_garment_factory_collapse (Rana Plaza disaster) Find https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/607057/orwells-roses-by-rebecca-solnit/ (Orwell’s Roses), by http://rebeccasolnit.net/ (Rebecca Solnit) Sponsored by https://anothertomorrow.co (Another Tomorrow) Music by Eric Brace of https://redbeetrecords.com (Red Beet Records) Cover art by http://www.studionumberone.com (Studio Number One)
