Description
The gap between the rich and the poor, the North and the South is greater than ever before.

On This is the North, we explore these questions. With expert guests, including academics, local business people, and charity leaders, we discuss why the poverty gap matters and what we can do about it.
Hosted by Alison Dunn, charity Chief Executive and dedicated social justice advocate, This Is The North is a podcast that comes from the North, is about the North, and celebrates our creativity - past, present and future.
