Podcastshelf - ‘Screw This… Let’s Try Something Else’
An arresting title for a podcast and it doesn’t disappoint.
In this short podcast series the presenters visit places around the country where local people have literally taken matters into their own hands to change their communities for the better. One group raised funds to buy houses and refurbish them so local people have access to good quality, affordable rented housing that they don’t have to worry about being evicted from; another successfully campaigned for a supermarket in a ‘food desert’ and then built the biggest wind turbine in the country.
None of them are pretending it’s been easy but it clearly has been worth the effort for all of them – not only providing extra facilities in their area but helping to build relationships and a stronger community.
