    "Chemistry, Biology, Toxic Misogyny..." plus poverty, equality, and the role of community in making the lives of people in Sunderland better are vital themes in this lovely pre-Christmas chat between Robyn Walker, singer in the up-and-coming Sunderland band BigFatBig - who provide the theme music for this podcast - and our outgoing host and editor Rich Speight.They talk about football, poverty, the parallels between the barriers faced by women in music and football, and the role of both the Sunderland Community Soup Kitchen and other charities in the city centre that are making the lives of our young people better every day of the year.Please donate to the Roker Report Christmas Appeal for the Sunderland Community Soup Kitchen today - click here https://www.gofundme.com/f/sunderland-community-soup-kitchen-fundraiser-2022 Listen to more of BigFatBig's music and book tickets for their gig at the Ship Isis on 11 Feb here.
