Podcast
Our podcast is where we share audio stories from our various projects. We also use it as a place to host audio projects created other people whose work we love and think listeners will too.
Whether episodes come from our own projects or someone else’s, each one opens up a space to hear from someone you might never have come across in your daily life.
On this page you can find details of (and listen to) each project we’ve shared on our podcast feed.

The stories shared on our podcast are the audio component of a wider project which has been installed in residential streets across London. Find out more!
brixton memories
An 8-part series sharing personal reflections on place, heritage and the built environment of Brixton. This podcast was created by young people in Lambeth who are participating in the Townscape Heritage Initiative.
Brixton Memories was facilitated by Empathy Museum and Boldface, produced by the Brixton Project in partnership with Our Hut and The Independent Film Trust, and funded by Lambeth Council and the National Heritage Lottery Fund.
OUR JUSTICE
Three young people explore personal and societal issues that led to contact with the Scottish justice system. Over six episodes, Reece, Chris and Elio take it in turns to share their own experiences, then invite significant people in their lives to join them and reflect on what they’ve been through. Each young person received presenting and interview training, and has shaped the structure of the series.
This series was made in collaboration with Boldface and Community Justice Scotland. Find out more
down the rabbit hole
A series of letters and personal stories from Elizabeth, Rita and Angel, who all access The Beth Centre – a space supporting Lambeth women at risk of, or affected by, the criminal justice system. The three women worked with course facilitators Jesse Lawson, Donna Everett and Brenda Birungi through 10 weeks of workshops on storytelling, writing, public speaking, recording techniques, and more.
Produced by Boldface in collaboration with Women in Prison, a charity working to end the harm caused to women, their families and our communities by imprisonment. Audio produced by Jesse Lawson and Nada Smiljanic.
“That’s the really beautiful thing about these stories – these are all people who could be commuting on the same carriage as you, and they’ve got these full rich lives and you would never know about it. And this brilliant podcast gives you a glimpse into them.”
