Undiscussable
Stories from survivors of domestic abuse, from often unheard and under-represented voices, with a live follow-up discussion and expert interview.
8x 20mins, by Old Bill Media, first aired 15th June 2020
Domestic abuse reports have rocketed in the UK since coronavirus restrictions have been in place. Killings have doubled, and calls to helplines have increased by 50%. The men’s advice line in just the first week of lockdown saw a 17% increase in calls.
In Undiscussable, presenter Charlie Webster will continue her groundbreaking podcast of the same name to the airwaves of talkRADIO. Pre-produced stories from survivors of domestic abuse, from a wide range of people of all backgrounds, will each be followed by live discussions with experts and other survivors.
The series will include challenging stories from women and men, people from strongly religious cultures, people from the LGBT community, children and adolescents. Content will be broadcast in daytime on talkRADIO and made available for podcast.
