Can you tell us a bit about your show?

The Shed is a portal that allows the mind to travel to many dimensional realities, which I will guide you through. The nature of reality has always fascinated me and I have never stopped my want for knowledge. I only hope with this platform I can open the minds of others to information that may be out of reach or just not something with their reality, with the purpose of helping them along the journey of life we find ourselves in.

Why podcasting? What is it about the format that appeals to you?

My passion is the art of conversation, and the fact I can talk for 1-2 hours and people will actually listen still amazes me. We are still in the early stages of podcasting and I feel it’s as free as free speech can be in the times we are in.

What do you think the secret is to being a good podcast interviewer?

To listen.

You have a beautifully eclectic list of guests – what makes a good guest?

What stands out to me with any guest at The Shed is their courage, their ability to talk about the subjects others may struggle with and therefore choose to listen. All I wish to do is facilitate the words of bravery and strength.

The visuals for your show are really great – from the set-up of your Shed to the artwork – how important is that for you and how did you decide what to have on display?

Just like humans, we have a lot to give on the inside and I feel the people I resonate with the most are those who show it on the outside. The same goes with branding, In The Shed with Ryan is exactly what it says on the tin. Haha.

Which episode would you say is the perfect introduction to your podcast?

Depends if you want to hear me waffle on In The Shed directly to you or if you wish to have an insight to a reality of one of my amazing guests like Javeno Mclean who has helped 1000’s of people over the past 20 years with disabilities in his health centre he calls the j7 Health Centre or if you want to go to another dimension listen to Darren Le Baron, where you may discover you are a mushroom having a human experience…

JR: It’s ever more apparent that we need to listen to the voices who are directly impacted by race, inequality and oppression. Speaking to the team behind the Race Reflections’ AT WORK podcast, we find out more about the need for conversations around racial justice and equality.

RRAW: From the very first episode, we have dived deeply into topics such as racial trauma, joy as a form of resistance and the psychological framework of race-based traumatic stress. More recently we have discussed the concepts of scapegoating and aversive racism whilst also addressing topical issues such as the mistreatment of the Black players in the England team after the Euro 2020 Final. Racial trauma in the workplace is an issue not often reflected upon.

JR: What’s the story – how and why was the podcast started?

RRAW: Race Reflections is a fast-growing social enterprise dedicated to tackling inequality, injustice and oppression in society. We provide this through various activities including organisational consultancy, training, community engagement and content creation. Founder and Head Disruptor, Guilaine Kinouani – author of Living While Black – decided to introduce a podcast that addresses the psychological impact of racism and racial trauma in the daily lived experience of black people.

JR: Like any podcast with a social message it’s important that the listener engages and seeks to do more in the space:

RRAW: Race Reflections’ AT WORK brings the same engaging, stimulating and supportive content found on our membership platform, but in a free audible form. We hope that this podcast provides a place of sanctuary.

We talk about issues concerning Black people but also speak to issues that include people of colour generally and people marginalised in other ways. Tuning in provides you with an opportunity for reflection and exploration for and with people that want to be active participants in the conversation for change.

JR: What more can we all do?

RRAW: Visit our website: racereflections.co.uk – you will find a variety of membership options. Spreading the word and the link to a podcast episode that you enjoyed is also appreciated! We love to hear from our listeners and your ideas for future episodes can be submitted to contact@racereflections.co.uk.

‘AT WORK’, as the name suggests, focuses on inequality, injustice, and oppression AT WORK and is solution-focused. What more can we all do? Acknowledge our complicity and recognise that it’s important to think beyond interpersonal issues, considering cultural and structural issues as well to promote the well-being of staff of colour and marginalised people in our communities.

We have several exciting changes in the upcoming months as we begin to welcome different voices and perspectives to the podcast. We will be inviting exciting speakers including artists and authors from marginalised groups to add to our discussions; covering topics like the success of Black pound day, ‘taking up space’ as a black person in a social setting, and employment barriers across different industries.
