Immigration has been in the news for what feels like forever. However, our hosts feel like there's a missing voice from these discussions, the voice of the immigrants and the people who help them. We talk to Charlotte Khan from Care4Calais about the this so called 'crisis'. shorturl.at/GQcjc

July signalled Labour's first year in charge since winning the election. And despite a major majority, some good domestic bills, and securing trade deals, it's been a very mixed bag to say the least. Our hosts discuss why, from the Good, the Bad and the Ugly in the latest episode shorturl.at/TfHvv

It’s our birthday!! West England Bylines is 5 years old today 🎉🎉🎉. To celebrate, we talked to Jules and Chris at the Network Podcast - about the first 5 years and our ambitions for the future.

Now, onto the stomping ground of one of our hosts, we celebrate 5 years of @westenglandbylines.co.uk. In this episode, we talk to the most guests we've ever talked to, all 3 of the Editors-In-Chief and a retired one to talk about the Publication in the West. shorturl.at/4mR4L

VOICES FROM GAZA 10 articles. 21 stories. Parents, children, workers, neighbours, survivors telling the truth about their personal experience. Citizen journalism at its most powerful. Read it, share it. These voices should be heard. bylinesnetwork.substack.com/p/bylines-ne...

Over on the @bylinesnetwork.co.uk substack, a series of 10 articles from across the network, featuring 21 Gazans, have been published, some unfortuately not with us anymore. Not an easy read but far too important not to, please check them out. open.substack.com/pub/bylinesn...

Bylines Festival special session on citizen journalism. Panel: Ben Dickenson (Bylines Network MD), UK ex- diplomat Alex Hall Hall, Stephen Kinsella, & Yorks Bylines co-editor, Louise Houghton. What citizen journalism really is & why we need it more than ever. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/b...

On our (rather late) Pride episode, Julian sits down with Zoe Perry and @natacha.bsky.social, two Trans Writers for the Network to discuss the hotly talked about Supreme Court Ruling. In this episode, we talk about the current state of trans Rights and what can be done to help. shorturl.at/aDsYL

In that case, not late, very on time and very intentionally so. Why not celebrate Newcastle Pride by giving our Pride episode a listen

@natacha.bsky.social is brilliant on this. It’s an important listen.

I strongly recommend this. No, not because my annoying voice is on it, because Stephen Kinsella, @alexhh.bsky.social and @louisehoughton.bsky.social speak much truth and cast clever things. It’s a ‘must listen’, as they say.

This was fun, having stepped in at short notice (I walked in to hear the talk and ended up on stage!). Good discussion on the potential for citizen journalism as part of a healthy democracy!

A special episode in our Bylines Reports series, bringing you a debate recorded live at the Byline Festival 2025. Join Ben Dickenson, interviewing a panel including, Alexandra Hall Hall, Stephen Kinsella, and Louise Houghton. All asking - can citizen journalism change the world? shorturl.at/0o7ze

... the @bylinesnetworkpod.bsky.social Bylines Network Podcast, it took six years for the anti-trans women to get 39,000 signatures on a petition supporting their cause. This one hit 37,000 in six WEEKS. It'd be good to shove it over the 39k in short order. Please sign soon if you haven't already.

Worth hearing. The current trans situation and associated thoughts from Zoe Perry and @natacha.bsky.social Natacha Kennedy, presented without pushback for a change.

Give this years (delayed) Pride month episode a listen! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Most interviews with trans people are with a "gender-critical" interviewer and a "gender critical" transphobe to provide "balance" (and interrupt so we can never develop our arguments). This podcast interview with @zoegen.bsky.social and I by @bylinesnetworkpod.bsky.social is very different...
