b"In GBA 203 we get better acquainted with Sajeela Kershi. She talks about making comedy and her show Immigrant Diaries where people share their true life stories, and we move from these topics into wider discussions of Islamophobia, racism, belonging, social responsibility as well as into personal recollections of Sajeela's childhood.\\n\\nSajeela plugs:\\n\\nChanging Britain Festival: Immigrant Diaries: 24th April: http://www.southbankcentre.co.uk/whatson/immigrant-diaries-91203\\nTwitter: https://twitter.com/sajeelakershi\\nShallow Hallal: https://boxoffice.brightonfringe.org/comedy/7742/sajeela-kershi-shallow-halal\\nComedy Cottage: 16th April: https://www.facebook.com/events/1414664585508687/\\n\\nI plug:\\n\\nTragic Spring at the Hackney Attic 25th April: https://www.facebook.com/events/588668424609848/\\n\\nWe mention:\\n\\nThe treatment in the press and public opinion of the young girls who wanted to join IS: http://mediadiversified.org/2015/02/24/the-denial-of-childhood-to-children-of-colour/\\n\\nhttp://mediadiversified.org/2015/03/05/thetrashies-challenging-the-medias-misinformed-consensus/\\n\\nhttp://www.independent.co.uk/voices/comment/if-teenage-girls-want-to-join-isis-in-the-face-of-all-its-atrocities-then-they-should-leave-and-never-return-10065516.html\\n\\nBrief Encounter: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0037558/\\nStand Up Tragedy: http://www.standuptragedy.co.uk/\\nEddie Peppitone: http://eddiepepitone.com/\\nPro Resting: https://twitter.com/proresting\\nKeith Jarrett: http://zoneonetosix.blogspot.co.uk/\\nSpark London: http://sparklondon.com/\\nLeicester Comedy Festival: http://www.comedy-festival.co.uk/\\nAmnesty: http://www.amnesty.org.uk/\\nUSP: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unique_selling_proposition\\nBig Brother: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Brother_%28UK_TV_series%29\\nTOWIE: http://www.itv.com/essex\\nPunjab: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punjab_region\\nPartition: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partition_of_India\\nThatcher: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margaret_Thatcher\\nRadcliffe Royds: https://radclifferoyds.wordpress.com/\\nAl Qaeda: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al-Qaeda\\nSalman Rushdie: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salman_Rushdie\\nThe Satanic Verses: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Satanic_Verses\\nMalcolm X: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malcolm_X\\nCartoon - bikini / hijab: http://thesocietypages.org/socimages/2012/02/22/questioning-definitions-of-freedom/\\nHipsters: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hipster_%28contemporary_subculture%29\\nLumbersexual: http://gawker.com/are-you-a-lumbersexual-1657844454\\nAlgerian War: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algerian_War\\nThe Charlie Hebdo March: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/picturegalleries/worldnews/11338185/Paris-shootings-Crowds-join-Unity-march-for-Charlie-Hebdo-attacks-in-pictures.html\\nLeaders: http://www.theguardian.com/world/ng-interactive/2015/jan/13/charlie-hebdo-attack-world-leaders-paris-press-freedom\\nBacklash to French Muslims: http://edition.cnn.com/2015/01/13/europe/france-anti-muslim-threats/\\nEnoch Powell: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enoch_Powell\\nRivers of Blood: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enoch_Powell#.22Rivers_of_Blood.22_speech\\nLenny Henry: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lenny_Henry\\nRomesh Ranganathan - Jonathan Ross: https://www.itv.com/itvplayer/the-jonathan-ross-show/series-8/episode-5\\nBNP: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_National_Party\\n\\n\\nFollow @GBApodcast on Twitter.
