🎧 Forest City Podcasts
Podcasts fuel many great watercooler conversations. Beyond the lunchroom, an increasing number of Londoners have been scooped up by podcast-mania as they take to the “airwaves” and produce their own content. Here’s just some of our favourite homegrown programs for your listening pleasure!
🕵️ Character-Building
We gotta start our list with the pairing of Towards London and Branding LdnOnt: two podcasts diving deep into the unique personality of London. Exploring science, healthcare, politics and social enterprise, these podcasts build an impressive picture of a city at the forefront of thought, innovation and practice.
