One Harm Two Voices Mon, 09 Mar 2026 01:13:38 -0400 https://www.buzzsprout.com/2329506 en-gb © 2026 One Harm Two Voices yes 2dc20dbd-ed2f-5f5b-9758-fbf3f3f0cb5c Jo Luck episodic true One Harm Two Voices is a podcast series which brings into focus those topics we find hardest to talk about. Harmful, complicated human experiences are at the centre of each episode; the common thread is the stigma surrounding them.

Developed by an advocate of restorative approaches, we invite you to listen in on the raw, unfiltered conversation of two people sitting on different, at times opposite, sides of a harmful experience. 

Our guests will share their personal stories and combine their unique perspectives to make more sense of what happened; reflecting on what helped them to find a way through and a way forward.

Professionally, the podcast host Jo Luck has spent the past 17 years working in the Criminal Justice sector. Qualified in Restorative Justice practices, her work has included mediation between crime victims and perpetrators,  as well as leading on a nationally launched ‘restorative’ probation practitioner toolkit. More recently, Jo became an Associate Prison Inspector. One Harm Two Voices is Jo's passion project.

The podcast aims to instil some hope in those listeners impacted by the harm topics, and offer some pointers on what has helped others repair and recover.

We’ve brought together two seasoned criminal justice professionals, both with significant lived experience of suicide harms. Kevin Murphy, whose bereavement story featured in Alison Wertheimer’s book ‘A Special Scar’, will draw on learning from two losses to suicide, one in childhood and one as an adult. Clinton Blair, who specialises in serious group offending, will be talking through the very recent loss of a close friend to suicide. This is the third of Clinton’s friends to take their life in the past decade.
