Human Resources is a three-part podcast series by poet and theatre-maker Hannah Jane Walker, exploring the simple complicated task of being a person. Each episode poses a question that seems too simple to ask: How do we deal with our mistakes? Is friendship fundamental to our survival? How do we keep breathing through a crisis? Through storytelling, documentary and poetry, Hannah and her collaborators open up a space of care and creative challenge in which they invite their listeners to consider the unlikely sources of potential resource in their own lives, and how they might use them a little differently.
Sound design by Hana Walker-Brown. Artist welfare practitioner — Lou Platt. Outside eye — Ross Sutherland. Episode 3 commissioned by Cambridge Junction as part of HOME Manchester's Homemakers series 2020. Supported by Arts Council England.

The second episode of this series looks at friendship, with playwright Rachel Mariner. Pre-Covid, Rachel and Hannah developed a theatre piece exploring friendship and its impact on wellbeing. In this episode, they look at the impact of Covid-19 on friendship. They explore finding a language to talk about friendship, and whether friendship is something that gets de-prioritised alongside romantic relationships and conventional family units. This episode asks what kind of friend you are, what your friends offer and whether you are getting what you need.
