This podcast has been made possible by the support of the University of Exeter's Innovation team, and the Arts & Culture team.

The idea grew out of civic innovation workshops led by Julie McLaren and Kate Jago in early 2024. Without their work bringing together Exeter's movers and shakers, this podcast wouldn’t exist.

Thanks also go to Adrian Webb at Outcome Path for marketing support and for encouraging me to think bigger and bolder.

And finally, to all of the interviewees: thank you for being candid, funny, serious, passionate, and for all the brilliant things you do.

Tämä podcast on lisätty Podme-palveluun avoimen RSS-syötteen kautta eikä se ole Podmen omaa tuotantoa. Siksi podcastin jaksot saattavat sisältää mainontaa.
