- Fantastic & Inspiring
The fact that this podcast exists, 100 episodes and counting, about Manchesters ambitious progress, is inspiring. Other cities take notes! The fact it’s worth listening to, is because of Lisa’s great charm, humility, and conversation. Love it, it’s makes me miss a place I was lucky to call home for a few years, and some of the folk I met there and call friends too. X

The stories told on this wonderful podcast make my heart burst with pride for my home town of Manchester. Amazing people, with a Manchester spirit, doing amazing things in their life, careers and communities.
Some of the people I know of, some I know personally, and some I have never heard of but they all have true human spirit at the heart of what they say and do.
Well done to the team behind this. Love it.

A fantastic podcast series, listening to inspiring people share their stories and hear the passion for Manchester and the North.
Great to listen to during the pandemic. When things may be difficult, the podcast series gives a ‘stirring’ motivation to keep calm and carry on.
Most definitely recommend to others to listen in and take note.
Excellent.
