In 2025, we’re producing our first podcast mini-series funded entirely with listener crowdfunding. You can read all about it, and contribute, here! 

‘Who Does It Best?’ will examine which European country has the most effective, most creative policies when it comes to managing three complicated issues that shape our lives: housing, childcare and drugs.

Apparently our audience are as nerdily excited about this idea as we are, because we’ve been blown away by the speed at which we’ve been able to raise enough money to make these podcasts. And since it’s you, the listeners, who are funding it, we’re 100% accountable to you for this series.

So, we’ve decided to be as open with you as possible about the production process. On this blog we’ll be posting regular updates about how our research is going and how we’re spending your money, as well as sharing photos, videos and insights from our reporting trips.
