27 SEP. 2020 · In this episode we will be talking to Jim Haynes.
Jim was born in northern Louisiana and when he was young he spent several years in the oil company town of San Tomé in Venezuela.
In 1956 he served in the US military and stationed with a unit in Scotland. After his service he decided to stay in Edinburgh where he started the first paperback bookshop in Britain called The Paperback Bookshop.
In the 60’s Haynes relocated to London and he became deeply involved in the underground cultural scene, co-funding the alternative paper “International Times”, and launching “Suck” in Amsterdam, a newspaper to promote sexual freedom.
In 1969 he moved to Paris where he taught Media Studies and Sexual Politics for 30 years, and in 1970 he organized the Wet Dreams Festival held in Amsterdam. This festival explored the boundaries between art and porn, voyeurism and participation, exploitation and liberation.
In 2017 Haynes was awarded an honorary PhD from Edinburgh Napier University.

11 JUL. 2020 · Today we bring you an exclusive interview with Britt Carpenter.
Britt is the founder of Philly Unknown, a Philadelphia-based non-profit organization that assists homeless people in the city, many of them living with opioid addiction. Britt has been doing this for more than 10 years but today his job has become very difficult because of the pandemic.
During our interview we talked about Kensington, a forgotten and impoverished neighbourhood in Philadelphia that Britt helps out in a daily basis, the opioid crisis in America, his appearance in 2018 in a documentary film from Voice of America, the challenge that faces his community with gentrification, Black Lives Matter, and the future of his organization.
I’m really proud of this interview, Britt is very charismatic and I felt really good during our conversation. I guess this is also one of the reasons why I started this podcast: to meet interesting people all around the world and to make some friends, in the end it is all about creating some connections.
