His programmes have covered a wide international range - from the enormous sums of money needlessly wasted on misdirected cancer research to the failure of food aid policy in the world's poorest countries, the activities of CIA-supported death squads in Central America, exposing top-level political collaborators with the Sicilian Mafia and highlighting corruption in Iraq under the American-led Coalition after the 2003 war, and investigating China's crackdown on human rights activists in preparation for the 2008 Olympics in Beijing. In Britain, he regularly reports on education and health issues and has taken a special interest in the criminal justice system - exposing the secret militarisation of police riot squads, the failures of police complaints investigators and persistent racism through the ranks. Gerry also reports for BBC television current affairs, initially for Brass Tacks and then Public Eye and now for Panorama. ------------------------------------------------------- Gerry Northam biog taken from the BBC Radio 4 website, CLICK HERE TO READ | 23 12 10 | Free | View In iTunes |

Podcast 30: The Contemporary Jewish Museum, San Francisco, USA | Interview Background In January 2010, Sam Downie (Volunteer Producer/Assistant Station manager) took a vacation to San Francisco, USA to visit friends and company's in Silicon Valley. During his visit, Sam had the opportunity in meeting with the CEO of The Contemporary Jewish Museum in the city. Listen to this exclusive podcast interview about this amazing popular museum in downtown San Francisco. Listen to SAM DOWNIE talking to CONNIE WOLF, CEO, The Contemporary Jewish Museum, San Francisco: The Museum and its Mission Since its founding in 1984, the Contemporary Jewish Museum has engaged audiences of all ages and backgrounds through dynamic exhibitions and programs that explore contemporary perspectives on Jewish culture, history, art, and ideas. To find out more about this fascinating museum in San Francisco, visit their website at: www.thecjm.org Museum Background Throughout its history, the Museum has distinguished itself as a welcoming place where visitors can connect with one another through dialogue and shared experiences with the arts. In 1990, the success of the Museum prompted its leadership to plan for a more expansive facility to meet the growing interests of the local community. The Museum began formally exploring real estate options when the San Francisco Redevelopment Agency (1994-1995) invited the Museum to develop the historic Jessie Street Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E) Power Substation, a 1907 landmark designed by architect Willis Polk. In 1998, the Museum selected architect Daniel Libeskind to design its new home. Envisioned as a dynamic and welcoming space, the new 63,000-square-foot facility was planned to be a place to experience art, music, film, literature, debate, and — most importantly — other people. Daniel Libeskind's design for the Museum does not simply house this programmatic vision; it enables and inspires it. | 22 7 10 | Free | View In iTunes |

Podcast 27: CEJI podcast from Brussels | RADIO SALAAM SHALOM RECENTLY MADE ITS FIRST LIVE BROADCAST FROM MAINLAND EUROPE Presenters Carolyn Clitheroe and Danyal Laskar joined Jewish and Muslim participants from across Europe in a special live webcast from Brussels. It was the venue for a CEJI Seminar on Confronting Antisemitism and Islamophobia Through Media Literacy. Jewish and Muslim youth leaders aged 18 – 35 worked with new training manuals addressing Antisemitism and Islamophobia developed by CEJI's Religious Diversity education team together with the Jewish Muslim Cooperation Platform and EPTO (European Peer Trainers Organisation). This seminar addressed antisemitism and islamophobia through media literacy as participants learned to confront antisemitism and islamophobia in the media, develop critical thinking skills to analyse the media and develop skills and techniques to develop their own media tools. At the end of the seminar, they worked with Radio Salaam Shalom's team to produce a special internet broadcast to showcase the results of their time together. The seminar has the generous support of the European Youth Foundation of the Council of Europe. | 15 12 09 | Free | View In iTunes |

Podcast 26: Fond Jewish memories of life in Arab lands. | 75 year- old Alica Shapira recently visited Bristol from Israel and was invited to visit the studios of Radio Salaam Shalom. In this 'enhanced' interview, listen as she tells us about life in Casablanca in the late thirties and forties through the eyes of a Jewish child. Alica Shapira's story portrays the ties of Muslim and Jewish culture reflected through custom, music, food and other aspects of daily life. In Casablanca Alica Edri (her maiden name) lived a life of poverty whithin the walls of the Medina. She, her mother and father, brothers and sisters occupied one damp, dark room. Money was scarce and food was in short supply. At the age of six Alica began working to bring money home, but later conditions improved when she was employed as a live-in seamestress. In her new settings she spoke French, learnt a new trade, made new friends, and discovered the world of cinema... In 1951 she immigrated to Israel to begin her new life as an Israeli citizen. For the last 58 years, as a member of 3 different Kibbutzim in Israel, in a world apart from everything she new in Morocco, Alice never forgot her roots. These days, the Jewish Moroccan community is of a momentous significance in the Israeli society, but in the early 50's in a Kibbutz in Israel, Alica found herself to be one of the only "sephardi" (Eastern Jew) in an Ashkenazi (European Jew) community. Brought up in an Arab culture until she was sixteen Alica was to discover that her "ways" were quite different from those of the other members of the kibbutz who predominantly originated from Europe. With the years, Alica integrated well into her new environment, but images of the streets of her childhood in Casablanca have never left her.... | 10 12 09 | Free | View In iTunes |

Podcast 23: The Abraham Nexus Show – FINALE! | Since our launch in early 2007, the co-hosting team of Javid Latif and Tal Lesham have been an integral part of our Muslim-Jewish programmes. Anyone listening to their show "The Abraham Nexus" would know that their conversations revealed a growing mutual respect for and awareness of their own - and each other's - opinions, ideas and values. Before Tal headed off for pastures new (ISLANDS new, actually), he and Javid joined up for one last recording session in the Radio Salaam Shalom studios. Joined by several of their colleagues, Tal and Javed look back on their time together as "Abraham Nexus" co-presenters. In this show, they also featured an interview with a leading dietary specialist who looked at the issues of Diabetes during Ramadhan, discovered the thought-provoking ideas of Turkish Muslim thinker Adnan Oktar/Harun Yahya, and shared the stories of the Jewish-Palestinian Change Night hosted by Libby and Len Traubman' Living Room Dialogues group in California. We wish Tal all the best in his new island home - we're sure Javid's already booked his beach trip too. | 8 10 09 | Free | View In iTunes |

Podcast 21: Roots of Hatred – Part 2 | In the latest of our 'Roots of Hatred' series, RSS presenters Valerie Emmott, Danyal Laskar and Madge Dresser continue their look at some small starts to big problems. With the recent rise of the far-right in the UK and European elections, what's the uneasy balance between democracy, free speech and hate speech? Does this say anything about intolerances and scapegoats in our modern world? How far back does Islamophobia go? Did anti-Semitism start in similar ways? What's the story of the Saracen's Head? How does a piece of ceramics found in a 21st century city centre development reveal the respect earned by Muslim leader Saladin in 12th century Bristol? With more on the links between the Crusades and how we live now, it's worth taking a close look at what 'Crusade' actually means. Madge speaks to Dr Peter Fleming, a specialist in Middle Ages Europe at the University of the West of England. She also talks to Gail Boyle, archaeologist at Bristol City Museums, about a surprising legacy of the new Colston Hall development. It's not all talk on the podcast. There's also some amazing music, including a song that was 'top of the charts' back in the 12th Century! The Early Music Consort performs one of fewer than 200 pieces of medieval music that survive: "Chevalier, Mult Estes Guariz" from the time of the 2nd Crusade.

Podcast 19 SPECIAL FEATURE: Jews in Bristol – the book | A 'Special Feature' presented by volunteer presenters Lisa Saffron and Madge Dresser. Today in Bristol, there's a Muslim population of around 30 000, most of them relatively recent arrivals to the city, having arrived over the last 50 years. This compares to a considerably smaller Jewish community of something around 1 000 alongside them in a city which is home to two synagogues and around a dozen mosques . (Click on these links for online tours of some of these local buildings from the local BBC website). Not many people know the history of these communities here and very few realise that there's a millenium's worth of Jewish presence on the banks of the Avon River.

Podcast 18: Women in Islam with Majida Khan [Part1] | EMPOWERED MUSLIM WOMEN First in the new series 'Women in Islam' presented by volunteer Majida Khan. Oppressed. Behind the veil. Submissive. These are just some of the myths and ideas surrounding Muslim women today. But are Muslim women really limited to this? Is the empowerment of Muslim women a myth, a reality or a bit of both? Let's take the questions a bit further. Do all people even believe in or agree with such stereotypes? Finally, and perhaps most importantly, what is Bristol doing to address these issues? Join RSS Presenter Majida Islam Khan as she explores these issues in the show 'Empowered Muslim Women' - the first in her new series on women in Islam.

Podcast 17: Faith and Sexuality | Presented by volunteer presenters: Tal, Lisa, Javid and Edson. (Lisa Saffron writes...) "True to our mission, Radio Salaam Shalom brings Jews and Muslims together to celebrate, debate and share issues that shape our daily lives. "One of the questions we use to start a dialogue is "What are you most proud of about being Jewish or Muslim?" For me the answer is clear – I’m most proud of my Jewish community’s acceptance of my lesbian sexuality. "Now sexuality is a topic we’ve never covered in our 3 years of broadcasting so I wasn’t sure what kind of dialogue we’d have if I mentioned the L word. Four people representing the 3 Abrahamic faiths gathered in the Salaam Shalom studio to listen to Rabbi Elizabeth Tikvah Sarah (Brighton & Hove Liberal Synagogue) and to take part in a stimulating and lively dialogue". | 26 6 09 | Free | View In iTunes |

Podcast 15: Roots of Hatred [Part1] | Roots of Hatred [Part1], presented by volunteer presenters Valerie Emmott, Danyal Laskar and Madge Dresser. >This year's Cannes Film Festival premiered with Up, an innovative 3d animated film using new technologies which will lie at the foundation of future cinema. However, the film which won the prestigious Golden Palm award was a completely different experience. Made in black and white, The White Ribbon (German: Das weiße Band) takes audiences right back in time to pre First World War Germany. Director Michael Haneke says the film is about "the origin of every type of terrorism, be it of political or religious nature." It explores the origins of the fascism that would lead to the rise of the Nazis many years later and the slow ferment of racial and cultural hatreds that led to the Third Reich's Holocaust. With this in mind, presenters Danyal, Valerie and Madge are introducing a new series of regular podcasts looking at The Roots Of Hatred. What lessons should we look for from the past when trying to understand and counter today's alarming rise in anti-Semitic and Islamophobic sentiments? How does a more mutual, shared future grow from where we've come from in our societies? | 12 6 09 | Free | View In iTunes |

Podcast 14: Anne Frank + YOU – the exhibition | This podcast focuses on Bristol's very successful hosting of the "Anne Frank + You" touring exhibition. Hear from volunteer presenters Javed and Brendi, who both volunteered as guides for the exhibition, as they share their experiences and thoughts on how this tragic story of the past is still relevant today. This last week of May sees the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA) release a report on discrimination against Muslims in the EU. These findings are part of the first ever EU-wide survey on immigrant and ethnic minority groups’ experiences of discrimination and racist crime, or EU MIDIS for short. Islamophobia and anti-Semitism are issues which greatly concern our Jewish and Muslim friends, especially in the context of Word War Two Nazi-era atrocities against so many communities across Europe. With this in mind, our latest podcast focuses on Bristol's very successful hosting of the "Anne Frank + You" touring exhibition. Co-presenters Javed and Brendi, who both volunteered as guides for the exhibition, share their experiences and thoughts on how this tragic story of the past is still relevant today, inspiring people to confront and work through so many of our societies' own modern challenges. For more on the Bristol exhibition, see http://www.annefrankbristol.org.uk. To read the latest FRA report, see http://fra.europa.eu/eu-midis.

Podcast 11: Mona Siddiqui | There are multiple way of looking at the relationship between two of the world’s largest faiths.
