The podcast is hosted by CityCo and Manchester Business Improvement District Chief Exec Vaughan Allen.

New Series: Business After Covid

Episode 5: Leisure

Talking about how leisure has been affected by the Covid emergency.

What’s happened to film and to tabletop gaming; experiences where you’re MEANT to be with other people. And what’s happened with video gaming, which already was designed to be experienced at home?

Has leisure creation got more democratic? Can cinemas survive at all? How do we keep online communities positive? What happens next? Talking to Jason Wood of HOME Manchester, Chris Hart who hosts The Grognard Files podcast, and Martin Bryant of Big Revolution.
