Jordan’s Space on Yowah Radio
Jordan’s Space is a 60-minute online radio show, broadcast globally on Yowah Radio.
Each Thursday evening, at 7pm (UK time), you can tune in for an hour of conversation, music and above all hope and inspiration. Each show features an interview with a guest who will share their own unique experience of suicide and a choice of music which has a personal meaning to them.
At times, some interviews may be challenging to listen to but each one will always end on a positive note of hope for the future.
We interview a new guest every fortnight. On each alternate Thursday, at the same time, we will repeat a show from a previous week. Repeats of our past shows are also broadcast at midnight every Friday and Monday.
You will find recordings of all our previous shows on this page of our website.
Tune in to Jordan’s Space and join your host and founder of The Jordan Legacy, Steve Phillip, alongside co-hosts Danielle and Paul, together with some very special guests, for an hour of music, chat and hope.
This show does discuss themes of suicide and while listening, we’d encourage you to take care of yourself by stepping away from the show at any point, should you find the content triggering or uncomfortable to listen to. For support, please visit our website’s Help resources.
Show 21 – From 30 years of self-abuse and mental torment to finding the creativity in others – an interview with Paul Chambers.
On this week’s show, The Jordan Legacy chats with with Paul Chambers of The Creative Mental Health Charity PoetsIN as he tells his story of how living with a severe speech impediment, the distress caused by his parents divorce when he was 5 and a period of 30 years of descending into alcohol and drug misuse, led to him attempting to end his own life.
Eventually, Paul recognised something had to change but as he attempted to clean himself up, he experienced a complete mental breakdown.
Paul’s story is one of hope as he talks about how a chance encounter online, led to him forming a business partnership and the creation of a quite unique and creative mental health charity, which is making a measurable difference to children from the age of 8, right through to convicted criminals in prison, by helping them express their emotions and often hidden feelings and by doing so giving them hope that they can cope with life and in many cases thrive there also.
NB: Due to a current issue with MixCloud, the online streaming service, we are not yet able to provide a recording of this show featuring the music chosen by this week’s guest. We hope this will be resolved very soon.
