In this episode we deep dive with, the editorial team behind The Pavement Magazine. We sit down with Jake Cudsi and Mat Amp, Editor and Deputy Editor respectively, to explore the raw realities behind their most powerful stories. From lived experience to editorial choice, we pull back the curtain on how coverage can cut through stigma, shift perceptions, and spark real change. You’ll hear about the research, the risks, and the relationships that shape every piece. Expect layered conversations on ethics, trust, representation, and how street-level storytelling can transform not just what you read — but how you see your city.
