A event held at The Cube on Tuesday 29th April. The event starts at 20:00.


From The Bristol Cable; "People Just Do Something" is a relaxing and possibly enraging podcast about people who self-identify as activists. Join Isaac Kneebone-Hopkins, Priyanka Raval and a special guest as they attempt to untangle the means of effecting change in Bristol, broken Britain and beyond.

We are now bringing the conversation live to The Cube, where you can be part of these in-depth discussions every last Tuesday of the month. This event series will feature a unique mix of high-profile guests, thought-provoking locals, and expert voices as they tackle subjects that go beyond Bristol, spanning politics, culture, social justice, and everything in between. These interviews bring diverse perspectives together and draw out occasionally tough conversations whilst smoothing the edges.

On Tuesday 29th April we will have the honour of interviewing Taj Ali, a journalist and historian. He is the former editor of Tribune Magazine and has written a book on the history of British South Asian political activism in the UK.

The Cube's intimate, independent cinema setting is the perfect venue for an evening of meaningful dialogue, where you'll have the opportunity to ask questions and connect with fellow listeners. It's more than just a podcast—it's a chance to be part of a broader discussion with far reaching effects, exploring ideas that impact us all.

This partnership between The Bristol Cable, a trusted independent local newspaper, and The Cube, a celebrated independent cinema, brings the spirit of community, creativity, and curiosity to life. Whether you're a local passionate about Bristol's place in the world or someone eager to delve into issues that shape our collective future, this is the podcast for you.

Join us every last Tuesday of the month to hear from fascinating guests, and be part of a live audience that drives the conversation forward. Come for the ideas, stay for the chat—this is where the world comes to talk.
