Between autumn of 2023 and early summer of 2024, I developed the podcast “Express Change” in collaboration with Marina Gattás at the Wellbeing Economy Alliance (WEAll). It launched at the end of March 2024, with a first teaser episode. We made “Express Change” available on all major podcasting platforms. We produced and published seven episodes and two outtakes.
Marina is ‘Culture and Public Policy Lead’ at WEAll, a critical economics thinker, an artist, a very creative mind, and a fierce analyst of the status quo and the dire shape our economic systems — and, by extension, our societies — are in. It was a rare pleasure to plan and conduct the interviews with her. I was also responsible for all audio editing and post production on the episodes.
