Positive Solace with Attika Choudhary
In March 2020, the UK went into lockdown as did most of the world. As people reached out to Attika, about feeling anxious and confused, she wanted to do something helpful and the “Positive Solace” podcasts were born. Mental health has been her concern for some years and this led to the creation of a team which would make it happen.
Hosted by BBC’s Attika Choudhary, Positive Solace is a podcast that will empower your mind, spread positivity and wisdom. The guests are from different backgrounds, cultures, experience and learning. In their own, unique way they are doing what they can to help their community overcome the challenges and lead people to a better place. The conversations are not scripted: they are raw and show vulnerability and create a place where these voices can empower us all. So come join us as we laugh, get emotional and travel the world!

Politics Solace: UK General Election Special
*** Recorded June 27th, 2023 ***
Dearest Listeners... we've been apart for far too long!
As the UK goes to the polls for the first time since we started podcasting, Attika Choudhary - whom you already know, and Tom Levins - her trusty audio editor who has worked behind the scenes on seasons 2 and 3 of Positive Solace, decided to show their personal enthusiasm for politics and turn it into a special two-part election podcast, discussing the crazy world that is UK politics.
Introducing...Politics Solace.
Attika and Tom have political history - Attika as a former Conservative parliamentary candidate in 2019 general election and an ex-Tory councillor for Rushmoor from 2010 and Tom as a Green Party Council Candidate in 2023. Together, they discuss some major stories that have emerged throughout the election campaign over the last 5 weeks, review each of the party manifestos and even make their predictions for the number of seats that the party may get.
As we head towards the 4th of July general election, if you're unsure who to vote for or what each of the parties are promising: we have it covered.
Special thanks to Gully Singh and Saadeya Shamsuddin for providing vocal talent in the production of this episode.
