Time for the good news - The conclusion

The conclusion

10/26/23 • 13 min

Three years on from our first episode we have decided to take a pause.
We've called the episode "The conclusion" but we should probably add (for now), because it feels like we're taking a break rather than reaching the end of what has been a fun, insightful, informative and enriching project.
We wanted to share with you, our audience, some of the questions we've been asking ourselves and what has been coming up by way of answers or a sense of what now.
So, tune into this concluding episode to hear:

  • a reminder of why we started the podcast
  • what has kept us doing it
  • why we are taking a pause
  • and what might be next

All of our previous episodes will still be available here on Buzzsprout and via all the major podcast platforms and you can still connect via www.timeforthegoodnews.co.uk or via Facebook (susananddadspodcast).
Thank you for listening and all the support you've given us over the past 3 years.

As always, we bring you nothing but good news in our latest episode but this time there is a bit of a difference. There is a thread that runs through all of our stories and that thread is.....plastic!
Instead of just hearing all of the bad news about plastic we have 5 inspiring stories about the future of plastic and how to turn something that is blighting the oceans and the earth back into the useful resource it once was.
These stories are from all over the world and will introduce you to communities and organisations doing amazing things in the name of creating a circular economy.
