Looking back, looking forward

Policy Forum Pod turns 50 this week! So, in this special pod we take a look back at some of the presenters’ favourite moments, and some moments they would probably like to forget.

From Brexit to basic income, and from outer space policy to the very personal space of housing policy, Policy Forum Pod has covered a lot of ground over the last couple of years. And on this week’s special 50th episode, the podders take a look back at some of their favourite moments from the series, a look forward by introducing two new presenters, and a wry look at when things didn’t go entirely to plan! Listen to the podcast here:

For this special episode, the presenters all pick some of their favourite podcasts and moments from the last 49 episodes and share some insights about those pods and the topics they cover.
