Inside each person is a story of triumph and tragedy, aspiration, humiliation, love and loss. Human podcast is here to give voice to these everyday epics and the heroes at their core.
Each week Jess Mills interviews a celebrated trailblazer or unsung hero from the arts, entertainment, activism and politics, whose awe inspiring personal story demonstrates the breathtaking things that Human beings are capable of overcoming and achieving.
I work behind the scenes - researching our guests and suggesting lines of enquiry for the interviews, as well as informing the shape of the series', the themes, the language and the branding of the project.
Human Podcast
Series 1 – Resilience
The true power of the human spirit reveals itself behind the curtain of our private lives. In this first series, through a collection of raw and intimate interviews, we’re exploring extraordinary stories of resilience and trying to understand how it enables us to overcome our most challenging experiences.
Every story of greatness holds the messiness and fragility of living, so often our pain is our greatest teacher. But too often these challenging experiences are left unspoken and unheard. Here we shine a light on humans whose strength and tenacity has carried them through extreme adversity and allowed them to emerge with gratitude and generosity of spirit.
