Welcome to The Pursuit of Peace with Kieran Joseph

This is the podcast where we explore the depths of human experience, seeking insights, wisdom, and stories that illuminate the path towards peace, both within ourselves and in the world around us.

Joining Kieran in the studio this week is the incredibly talented John Bernard

John is a poet and spoken word artist from Coventry. Known for his dynamic performances and powerful writing, John uses poetry to address themes such as identity, social justice, and the immigrant experience. His work often reflects the diverse cultural heritage of Coventry, offering insight into the challenges and triumphs of marginalised communities.

John has been an active figure in Coventry’s arts scene, participating in various poetry slams and events across the UK. His style is characterised by a strong rhythmic delivery, blending personal narratives with broader social commentary. In addition to performing, John also works with young people, leading workshops and mentoring aspiring poets.

His work has contributed to the growing recognition of spoken word as a vital and impactful art form in contemporary British culture. He was also involved in the cultural activities surrounding Coventry's designation as the UK City of Culture in 2021, helping to elevate the city’s profile through his creative contributions.

So buckle up, sit back, relax, and join us as we embark on The Pursuit of Peace.
