In the latest episode of the Radical Reformers podcast, Andrew Laird sits down with Joe Hill, Director of Strategy at Restate (and the winner of last year’s Think Tanker of the Year award!), for a timely and thought-provoking conversation about the importance of really bold public service reform ideas.

From his journey through the civil service and Treasury to his work shaping some of the most influential policy thinking in Westminster, Joe offers a fascinating perspective on how change really happens. At the heart of the episode is his powerful critique of “everythingism” - the idea that every policy should try to deliver every objective, everywhere, all at once. A problem many people working in public services will instantly recognise: blurred priorities, diluted focus and policy that tries to do too much.

This episode is about the importance of new ideas, the role of think tanks in shifting debate, and why real reform depends on people being willing to say the uncomfortable thing out loud.

Above all, it’s a compelling call to be courageous - to think clearly, write honestly, challenge consensus and push for something better.
