About the show

“A podcast of hope filled stories that could genuinely change the world” - Brian Eno Ever find yourself wondering ‘Does everything have to be this broken?’ Join Maryam Pasha and Matt Golding, on a journey of the possible, to visit ordinary neighbourhoods doing something extraordinary. Each episode we’ll meet the folks who’ve had enough and are starting to say: “Screw this… let’s try something else” and are proving there are better ways to approach food, energy, housing and decision making – and then we’ll explore what the country could look like if these ideas spread. From a mission to reboot an empty high street in Northern Ireland, and people owned power in Bristol, to a Shropshire farm with 8000 community landlords, and a neighbourhood of tomorrow in Birmingham, come along on a road trip like no other, and get inspired. Because, even in our troubled times, real hope exists – if you know where to look. Stay tuned for our 6th episode, where we’ll share tips on how to get started where you live - and please take part in our survey - where we’ve partnered with Climate Outreach to see whether listening to this series has made you feel more hopeful.
