For Black History Month, ted Learning invited Louise Chandler and her sister Jocelyn to sit down for a series of open conversations about family, history, and identity. What began as a sisterly chat quickly grew into something wider. An honest, engaging exploration of shared experiences that resonated far beyond the screen.

ted Learning is known for drama-based training that makes complex topics like inclusion, equality, and diversity relatable. For Black History Month, they wanted something different: a podcast-style series that felt warm, conversational, and personal. It was also filmed, so it could reach wider audiences across multiple platforms.

That’s where WIDEO.co.uk came in. We were commissioned to produce the series and worked closely with Louise Chandler, a broadcaster, podcaster, and communications specialist, and her sister Jocelyn. Together, they shared their family history and perspectives in a way that was as engaging to watch as it was to listen to.

The aim was to mark Black History Month with content that sparked discussion, not lectures. ted Learning wanted a podcast that sounded authentic. However, they also wanted it filmed so that learners could engage with it however they preferred: listening, watching, or both.

By drawing on Louise and Jocelyn’s lived experiences, the series explored family history, cultural pride, resilience, and belonging. The conversational tone helped the audience feel included in the dialogue, not spoken at.

We built the project as a podcast you could also watch.

• Format design: We worked with Louise and Jocelyn to shape the content into one anchor episode plus a suite of shorter spin-off clips.

• Studio setup: We created a relaxed filming environment so the conversation felt natural, as if listeners were right there with them.

• Production: We handled filming, direction, editing, and post-production, ensuring the podcast worked equally well as audio or as video.

• Storytelling: By letting the sisters chat openly, laugh, and reflect, we captured an honesty that scripted training never could.

We designed the series as a collection of natural conversations. The main film set the tone, with Louise and Jocelyn sharing their thoughts on family history, belonging, and how the past shapes the present. From there, we created a suite of shorter videos—each tackling a single theme like resilience, cultural pride, or everyday inclusion.

Our role was to make it feel effortless. We handled filming, direction, and editing, ensuring the conversations flowed naturally while still structuring the content into powerful, digestible pieces. By creating a studio atmosphere that felt relaxed, we gave Louise and Jocelyn space to speak openly, laugh together, and reflect on deeper issues.

At the top of this page you’ll find the main podcast-style episode: a wide-ranging conversation between Louise and Jocelyn about family, heritage, and identity. Beneath it are five shorter videos, each crafted as its own mini-podcast clip:

• Episode 1: Reflections on family roots and growing up in the UK.

• Episode 2: How heritage shapes resilience and confidence.

• Episode 3: Cultural pride and the stories passed down through generations.

• Episode 4: Everyday experiences of inclusion—and exclusion.

• Episode 5: Why conversations like this matter beyond Black History Month.

Together, they form a podcast-style series you can listen to or watch—conversational, fun, and deeply human.
