My podcasts

There are many ways to tell stories – for individuals and for brands. The written word is awesome, obvs. Film is big and exciting (and sometimes expensive). And let’s not forget the power of standing on a street corner shouting into the wind.

But there’s something special about sharing your journey, your workplace, and your culture through audio. Whether that’s one-to-one conversations or a full-blown documentary. It’s intimate and attention-holding in a way endless video scrolling is not.

So, like every millennial and their hamster, I’ve made a podcast. It’s called Anglia Square: The Little City and I would love for you to take a listen. 

In the north of Norwich, after decades of decline, a dilapidated 1960s development is facing demolition and regeneration. But what about the artists losing their studio space, the businesses forced to shut their doors, and the residents readying themselves for decades of construction?

In this four-part series, I head to Anglia Square to find some answers. Over six months in 2025, I spoke to locals about their memories, fears, and hopes for what comes next.

Episode 1: The Art of the Deal 

Anglia Square has inspired artistic expression and provided a home for artists for over 15 years. Sarah chats with printmaker Craig and former Outpost Studio holder Henry about the impact the place has had on their practice. And she heads to the square to watch local theatre troupe The Common Lot perform there for final time.

Episode 2: Shutting Up Shop

In recent years, Anglia Square has been a shopping precinct above all else – a mix of big chains and popular independents. But Norwich City Council has given them notice to move out. As the deadline looms, Sarah sits down with business owners to find out what it’s like to work in the square and how they’re coping with the transition.

Episode 3: Memory Lane

Built in the late 1960s, Anglia Square is but a recent blip in the history of this colourful neighbourhood. Sarah takes a walking tour with historian Neil, heads to St Augustine’s Church to find out who used to live nearby, and hears all about the square in its heyday from former Hollywood Cinema owner Trevor.

Episode 4: What Comes Next?

With demolition looming, Norwich residents gather for a People’s Assembly to discuss the plans for Anglia Square. Sarah chats to Cany and Robert from Ash Sakula, an architecture practice with a different vision for the site, and representatives from Norwich Renters’ Collective, Magdalen Street Traders Association, and Norwich City Council about what the future could look like.
