Today I'm chatting to Simon Fogal, who is the founder and director of new PR and communications agency Chapter 81, drummer in band I Like Trains, and the mastermind behind brilliant food events like Leeds Indie Food and Chow Down.

We talked about how a community spirit has driven the burgeoning food and drink scene in Leeds, the importance of co-working spaces for bringing people together, and how working hard at a less than glamorous day job can benefit you in the future.

I really enjoyed this conversation with Simon and I think that his passion and enthusiasm for Leeds really shines through. Hopefully it will have you all wanting to visit soon! Enjoy the show.
