Welcome to “Maths on the Beach: Empowering Women Through Learning”, where education meets adventure! In this exciting episode, we dive into a blog post from Smartlyte / Get Families Talking that highlights an inspiring journey to break down the barriers preventing adults, particularly women from deprived communities in Birmingham, from embracing maths.

Tune in as we explore the unique challenges these women face, from limited resources and financial struggles to the balancing act of parenting and learning English. Discover how #Multiply turned these obstacles into opportunities by organising a fun-filled trip to Barry Island, where learning maths became an exhilarating seaside adventure.

From budgeting for the day to calculating distances and even writing numbers in the sand, this episode showcases how #Multiply turned maths into a playful and practical experience. Find out how this innovative approach not only made maths more accessible but also empowered women to see the subject in a new light, breaking down stigma and inspiring confidence.

Join us for a journey where learning maths is not just educational but also a seaside celebration!

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
