The Guardian's Token

theguardian.com

All three branches of the Guardian have come together to discuss race, culture, sex, gender, and identity. Starting in Australia and now currently in the UK, our teams talk frankly about what it’s like being a minority or indeed the token in society, the change they’d like to see, and answer those questions which most people feel aren’t PC enough to ask. We don’t want to preach to the converted here though, it’s a podcast based on discussion and differences. We’re hoping to find voices who disagree with us, (we don’t think it should be too hard). This is a platform for all, so as long as you’re respectful,  we’d love to hear from you
