Über diesen Titel

This week we deep dive into the 'benefits system’ and ask what using this language means for our shared understanding of what benefits are and why they exist.

Words of Affirmation is a podcast from Care Full, hosted by Hannah Webster & Ruth Hannan.

You can support the podcast to continue by signing up to our Patreon.

And, you can find out more about hosts Care Full on our website.

This week we talked about:

  • The Beveridge Report

  • Darren McGarvey on the toxic trope of benefit scroungers

  • This Yougov poll on how Britons feel about benefit and welfare recipients

  • This article on the language of welfare from Liam Stanley

  • JRF’s data on poverty in the UK

  • OECD data on social security spend internationally

  • This UBI trial in Wales

Our music for the episode is Bobby Bertoli’s Rebirth (thanks Bob x).
