  • The Wind of Change - 'Echoes of a New Era'
    Jan 4 2025

    In this compelling episode of the 'Stories to be tolled' blog series, Tracy DW kicks off the new year continuing season 5, reflecting on the anniversary and historical significance of British Prime Minister Harold Macmillan's 'Wind of Change' speech.

    Tracy draws parallels between the transformative winds of 1960, the COVID-19 pandemic and the present-day upheavals brought about by the consequences of post pandemic events. Tracy also highlights another modern 'wind of change' that will question and challenge long-held ideologies and societal norms on a global scale: that of the election of the US President Donald J Trump.

    As we navigate this new era, Tracy reflects on the metaphorical winds that challenge us to redefine our priorities and confront the inequalities and injustices laid bare by recent events. Echoing the past, she invites listeners to consider their stance in the ongoing struggle for morality and the direction of our collective future.
