Our In Orbit… series are informal conversations with people in our networks who we love.

Our first In Orbit with… Podcast is with Hussein Mitha, an interdisciplinary artist and writer who lives in Glasgow. In this conversation Huss brings some really special, insightful, funny, sad and hopeful thoughts about the Doughnut Economics model, ‘Fair Work’, (un)sustainable arts practices, policy writing and New York’s Central Park.
