Green Paper From Hype to Hope How Networked Neighbourhoods can make innovation work for everyone - Rachel Coldicutt OBE January 2025

Cutting saying: I DON'T LISTEN TO PODCASTS. I don't know what they are. People interview me occasionally - it wouldn't be that, would it? Gyles Brandreth and I just did something like that. We just chatted. I don't suppose it's different to anything else, really.

Jilly Cooper on podcasts.

Me too please

I’m in!

Big fan of your blogging. Hope you keep it up.
