The On Conflict Podcast is a series of curated conversations with conflict luminaries and practitioners, hosted by Julia Menard & Gordon White, two BC based mediators. Julia & Gordon chose people to talk with whom they thought could bring big ideas and big feelings to the conflict conversations.

These conversations influenced, inspired and informed Gordon & Julia as mediators and as humans. We hope that you listening in can do the same.

The podcast is organized from the last episode (Episode 46, released April of 2021) to the first episode (Episode 1, released March 2019). Gordon & Julia interviewed 20 guests. After each guest, they would record a separate “Riffcast” – which would give them the opportunity to explore ideas they’d heard from their guest.

Julia and Gordon met as members of the mediator community in Victoria, British Columbia. They share a passion for the transformative potential of conflict and how conflict dynamics play out in organizational life.

The On Conflict Podcast was born out the frustrating lack of application of mediator knowledge to some of the world’s troublesome conflicts. It’s our way of taking our work, which has been local to western Canada, to informing listeners around the world and creating a more far-reaching influence through our guests and ourselves.
