Hello,

Welcome to Issue #97 of ContentED. This week we've been inspired by National Storytelling Week which takes place 27 January - 4 February.

As a celebration of the power of sharing stories we look at The Outsiders Project Podcast, animated conversations and the inventive Rosie Frost on Audible.

We'd love to hear what you think and your content recommendations so please do get in touch.

Podcast | The Outsiders Project Podcast
A series of podcasts that were recorded over lockdown by some of the Outsider Artists. The Outsiders Project shows that people side-lined from society can write, perform and create work at the highest level. Each word written, spoken and performed by the Outsider Artists themselves – their stories, their words, their voices.
