Posting through the Housing Crisis, Part 1 ft. Rebecca Wilks
🕑 Added 2022-12-06 11:29:57 +0000 UTCIn this episode, we're joined by Rebecca Wilks, a Cardiff-based poverty, policing and housing journalist, to talk about Landlord Posting - a genre of online content produced by (or for) Landlords.
Landlord Posting has become a more common feature of social media recently, not least in the wake of the cost-of-living crisis surging, and much of that being centred around the cost of renting and living - as well as a rising number of tragic deaths and hospitalisations directly linked to poor quality housing.
Landlord Posting is then an attempt by Landlords to rationalise, not just their disproportionate level of power, but the foundations its built on. And as they become harder to justify and rationalise, well, the posts become a lot stranger.
This episode serves as an introduction to the topic, and a low-down of the current state of Landlording in the UK, before cracking into the Posts proper in Part 2.

Not to be weird but I really appreciated this episode - I had been thinking about getting involved in tenant activism, but I think the general malaise and stress of the current moment had left me just putting it off or feeling I didn't have the energy to do much useful. This gave me a bit of a kick up the arse to actually join a union
