Reasons to be Cheerful with Ed Miliband & Geoff Lloyd
News:Politics
Hello! We spend lots of time exploring great ideas around the world but this week we’re looking closer to home. It’s Reasons to be Welsh! First Minister of Wales Mark Drakeford tells us about where the Welsh Government is leading the way on innovative ideas from tackling the climate crisis to inequality, the importance of devolution in making it happen AND his love of cheese. Then we catch up with Future Generations Commissioner for Wales Sophie Howe about how she’s pushing for long-term thinking across Wales.
And parkrun volunteer Sam Rose tells us about the return of parkrun events after more than a year apart.
