The Comics Youth x Where are the Girlbands Safe Spaces podcast is a space for discussions with organisations and individuals who are creating safe spaces within the North West, with a focus on Merseyside. From musicians to mental health organisations to poets and activist groups, we will be hearing a wide range of ways that safe spaces can be implemented, why they are needed, and how you can help to create a safer Merseyside too. We will also be celebrating the fantastic work these organisations and creatives do, giving platform to the services they provide and the exciting creative projects they are working on! Alongside this we will also have a song of the week on each episode to introduce you to the sweet scouse sounds of musicians on the Merseyside music scene!
