People aren't born with prejudice. They learn it. A lot of what we’re taught growing up, either through our schooling, the media, or simply wider society, is harmful. This podcast explores the concept of "unlearning" through interviews with inspiring leaders and asks: what can we replace these harmful ideologies with? Ultimately this is a podcast about hope, self-improvement, and human connection. Learn more on the website: www.gettingreflective.com

From ancient tombs to gay marriage – Lindsay interviews Emmy-nominated director, Neil Laird

Neil Laird (he/him) is a multiple Emmy-nominated director of historical films for Discovery, BBC, PBS, the History Channel, National Geographic, and many other networks. He has produced over 100 programs around the globe that feature crumbling Egyptian tombs, lost Mayan cities, and mysterious shipwrecks at the bottom of the sea.

But to his continued disappointment, he has yet to stumble upon a time machine to see these things when they were shiny and new. His book, Prime Time Travellers, aims to remedy that.

Neil and I discussed his experiences travelling the world as a gay man, and how he has been received in different places. We discussed representation in media, the inspiration behind his book, and gay marriage becoming legal in the States. I even had the privilege of hearing the wonderful story of how he and his husband met.
