In this episode, Russell drops by Cardiff University for a chat with Dr Dave Wyatt, Reader in Civic Mission and Community Action in the university's School of History, Archaeology and Religion.

Dave co-founded CAER Heritage with archaeologist Olly Davis and community development professional Dave Horton. The team have been co-producing heritage projects in the Ely and Caerau districts of west Cardiff for well over a decade now winning numerous awards along the way.

In this episode Dave reflects how academics on the project have learned from local development trust, Action in Caerau and Ely and applied community co-production strategies to discovering new knowledge about the past for the benefit of all.
