31 OCT. 2025 · In this episode, we dive into how experiences as a student can shape the way one later teaches.
Ifrah Faheem, a Master’s student at the University of Sussex with a background in working alongside people with Down syndrome in Pakistan, chats with Zahra Halai, now an early preschool teacher for children with Down syndrome in Pakistan. Their conversation blends personal memories and professional insights, as Zahra shares how her own time as a student shapes the way she sees her classroom today, showing how teaching and learning continue to influence and transform one another.
Special thanks to Zahra Halai and Shayan Zafar for their time and support.
KDSP - A Down Syndrome Organisation (KDSP), a non-profit organization, was launched in March 2014 by a group of concerned parents and passionate individuals who due to limited support and resources available in Pakistan, realised a need for a platform for those with Down syndrome. KDSP was formed with the mission to advocate the value, acceptance and inclusion of people with Down syndrome living in Karachi and aims to provide them with the opportunity to lead independent and fulfilling lives. KDSP understands the needs of individuals with Down syndrome and their loved ones and so from the moment a family with a child with Down syndrome is introduced to us, KDSP embarks on a journey with them, until they feel empowered, included and equal members of society.

30 OCT. 2025 · Interested in sports journalism? Emile Nuh, Freelance Sports Journalist was a huge inspiration to teenagers at Bankfest 2025 in Weymouth, Dorset
He spoke to Podium producer Camilla Byk after the event about his career
‘We take inspiration from all these well-renowned superstars but sometimes they take inspiration from seeing us as well.’
'My main advice is just do it
I said to someone at the Athletic that I’d love to be a writer and he said ‘what are you writing ? Where’s your blog?’
‘Believe you are a sports journalist, you can never start too early.’
‘You never know if it’s a good idea until you try it it might just need adapting’
‘Thinking less and doing more and just doing it is a massive piece of advice, don’t rule out anything’
‘That one person who sees your work might be someone who knows someone who can get you one opportunity and that opportunity might turn into 2’
'My unique characteristic is my heritage and where I’m from'
'I love that being in this industry I’ve been allowed to actually open up and really show that side'
'I’ve got the confidence to really shout to the rooftops about my heritage and about my background and about my story. And that’s what I love about journalism, it empowers me to tell the story but I also feel that it empowers those who are telling the story on'
