2018: The Year in Spoken Word

2018: The Year in Spoken Word

At the beginning of 2018, BBC Radio 5 Live decided to be the station that shone a light on Spoken Word.

To highlight the huge wealth of young talent currently in the UK - the experiences they go through every day and crafting that into beautifully, honest reflections of their world.

We focused on some of big news stories and talking points ranging from poverty to mental health, knife crime to Brexit and the Royal Wedding to the FA Cup Final and asked some of the UK’s emerging and established artists to write about how they see these stories.

To look back on our Year in Spoken Word, Afternoon Edition's Nihal Arthanayake invited poet and musician Hussain Manawer and author Chidera Eggerue to review our past 12 months.

'I can't even look at you after you knowingly gave me HIV'

'I can't even look at you after you knowingly gave me HIV'

Becky Mitchell's ex-boyfriend was jailed for five years for knowingly infecting her and another woman with HIV. It was only the third conviction of its kind in UK legal history. She spoke exclusively to 5 live Breakfast since her ex-boyfriend Simon James was found guilty of 'recklessly transmitting HIV'. Becky says although she "never felt the need for a guilty verdict" it was "reassuring" to hear the judge's comments condemning James' actions. This clip is originally from 5 live Breakfast on Thursday 17 December 2015
