It's been a month to remember, and for this podcast, one interview was recorded before HM Queen Elizabeth II died, one the day after she died, and one a week later, and that obviously impacts the conversations.

Yeay - our first In The Loop special, one podcast, one guest, and one subject - the bid for City of Culture, the  Durham 2025 Bid.

We're back with another episode of In The Loop - The Durham Podcast.  It's fab to catch up with Paul Howard of Durham Bid and hear his plans as the city emerges from two years of lockdowns and restrictions, and those plans include lots of events, the first one he talks about being at the end of February.

PLEASE NOTE: there's a date error in this episode, Alice confesses a panicky moment of confusion... where she talks about the Children's Book and Fun Day, this will actually be happening in August.  For all events organised by or in conjunction with Durham Markets click through here - https://durhammarkets.co.uk/event/
