Telling Stories
ARLIE ADLINGTON
Arlie is a producer Redzi and I have admired for some time. We first heard his “The Toilets at Home Are All Gender Neutral” piece on BBC Shortcuts and were blown away by how gripping, funky and vulnerable it was. In this episode we talk to Arlie about his piece for The Dig, International Trans Person Helpline. We also explore health care systems, music choices and creating work that’s personal. Listen to the episode here.

TAKEAWAYS
Don’t be scared to approach people in the industry. Everyone entering this world will have felt as you do now! Engage people in conversations and if they don’t want to talk back … they’re probably assholes!
Meet Ups / Audio Train / Strange and Charmed with Cathy Fitzgerald
Always think about how you can edit something down…
Just because a bit of tape didn’t end up in the piece - remember you still had that interview experience - and that moment.
