Human Resources

by Hannah Jane Walker

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.
