Should the Met be just for London?

The UK capital is routinely and sometimes mischievously misrepresented and misunderstood. This is bad for the city and for the country, which depends heavily on London's economy, its international character and its global prestige - even though it often fails to recognise this or admit it. The True London podcast series is dedicated to covering London's politics, places and people accurately and fairly with a view to challenging false narratives about the city - and hopefully entertains along the way. It augments and complements the output of the journalism website <a href="OnLondon.co.uk" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">OnLondon.co.uk</a> and the personal <a href="Substack of Dave Hill" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Substack of Dave Hill</a>, who edits and publishes On London and presents True London.<hr> Hosted on Acast.
