Best of BetterPod: Will Poulter, Laura Bates, Darren McGarvey, Sophia Smith Galer and more

In series one of BetterPod, we’ve challenged poverty and inequality, homelessness, institutional misogyny, and conspiracy theories. We’ve discovered the perils of social media, the forces behind gun violence in America, and the problems with sex education in UK schools.

In this final episode, Sophie Dimitrijevic, Katerina Sivitanides, Jade Kabaku and Laura Kelly take a look back at the best moments from series one, and finish up by talking through the actions they’ll all be taking today to make tomorrow better. Hopefully you’ll find some tips in there too.

Featuring conversations with Will Poulter, Laura Bates, Darren McGarvey, Sophie Howe, Jonn Elledge, Ariel Hobbs, Brett Staniland, Sophia Smith Galer and Symeon Brown.

BetterPod is brought to you by The Big Issue’s Future Generations team. Through the Future Generations team, we offer a platform for exciting young journalists from underrepresented backgrounds to address the biggest issues facing us today.

Learn more about our impact

When most people think about the Big Issue, they think of vendors selling the Big Issue magazines on the streets – and we are immensely proud of this. In 2022 alone, we worked with 10% more vendors and these vendors earned £3.76 million in collective income. There is much more to the work we do at the Big Issue Group, our mission is to create innovative solutions through enterprise to unlock opportunity for the 14million people in the UK living in poverty.
