10: "Wrap & Reflect"
Hi guys, in this final episode of Season 3, we had the pleasure of having 3 of our lovely audience members live on the podcast with us and we had a blast! Plenty of laugh out loud funny moments as we reflected on what was a 'rollercoaster', 'whirlwind' and 'dramatic' season and relived some of our blooper moments. It was so encouraging to hear from our guests the impact that UnMute Now has had on them and the wider community and we thank you for being part of our journey.
Special thanks to Resourcing Racial Justice who funded this season, to James Rea of Bohemian Belfast for his invaluable support throughout this season, to all our guests and of course, to you our amazing audience.

9: "The Race Card"
Hi guys, in this penultimate episode of season 3, we tackle a very emotive subject - the issue of 'playing the race card'. There were some passionate contributions in this episode and a general consensus that this was probably a topic that needed to be revisited in the future. You may be surprised at some interesting thoughts shared about who really holds the card and how it is played in reality. Have you ever been accused of playing the race card? Have you ever felt unable to speak up about an issue because of fear that you would be accused of playing the race card? We'd love to hear your thoughts and experiences so please do get in touch with us and share.
We are also pleased to have had invaluable contributions on this episode from our guests, Nusrat Faizullah and Farzana Khan of Resourcing Racial Justice - the organisation that has funded season 3 of the UnMuteNow podcast. Hear them share about the very important work they've been doing in the area of funding for issues and work that are often overlooked by mainstream funders.
For this season, we are airing our episodes LIVE on our Facebook page and You Tube channel every Friday at 8pm GMT! Next Friday, why not join us and participate live in our conversations!

8: "Navigating Friendships"
Episode Description:
Hi Everyone. Thanks for tuning in and sorry for the late upload.
In this episode, we give a shout out to good friends who have shown themselves to be more valuable than money in our pockets, and discuss whether losing track of time when with friends, is a good thing or bad thing. What are your thoughts? Would you see those friends as needy? Would you see them as such good company, you don't care about the time? Do you agree with one member of the audience that friends who know you well, know when it's time to leave? Another audience member asked about reciprocity in friendships. What do you think? Join the conversation and let us know!

9: La Soufriere: Volcanic Humanitarian Crisis
Since the 8th and 9th of April, the La Soufriere volcano on the Caribbean island of St. Vincent & the Grenadines has been erupting consistently. There was an evacuation of over 10,000 people from the Red Zone to a safer part of the island in the Green Zone. However, recurrent eruptions and thick clouds of ash which cover a large portion of the island has traveled as far as St Lucia and Barbados; this has compounded the disastrous effects of the volcano on the people and island itself. The island is also dealing with the current Covid-19 pandemic like the rest of the world and also a recent Dengue fever outbreak. In this special episode, UnMute Now speaks with guests Dr. Rose-Ann Smith who is a Natural Disaster Management Consultant and Lecturer at the University of the West Indies (Mona Campus) and the St. Vincent Consul General in Northern Ireland Dr. Christopher Stange about the impact of this humanitarian crisis on St. Vincent and if there is a way to move forward.
