Well, since everyone else is doing one, I thought I would take a plunge into podcasting with short weekly conversations with someone who I think can add value to our understanding of the changing world around us.
This week, I spoke to Ian Parsley whose frequently updated blog you should definitely put on your reading list for its incisive analysis of many aspects government, and most recently for his coverage of Covid 19.
In it we cover:
- How Northern Ireland was lucky to get Stormont back to work on time
- How the UK’s and the Republic’s efforts compare with the approaches of other European countries
- Why honesty in the shortcomings of our initial responses is key to learning how to better respond to a second wave.
