September 22, 2023 The powerlessness of Michaela Ali
In this week's episode, Joshi and Jack talk about Michaela Ali, who has been waiting over a year for her housing association to fix her rat-infested flat. Despite multiple complaints about the infestation, Michaela's housing association, Riverside, didn't get around to properly addressing it until recently. Joshi and Jack talk about how that story came to be - beginning with Michaela's mother, Margaret, coming into The Mill's office to ask us to help publicise her struggle - and what may happen next.

August 08, 2023 'I never wanted to move from Ukraine. My friends wanted to, but I never did.'
In this week’s episode, Joshi and Jack discuss the case of Andrew Malkinson, who was convicted of a crime he didn’t commit, and wrongly imprisoned for 17 years. Questions have been raised about Greater Manchester Police’s investigation into Malkinson, and whether the force withholding, and in some cases destroying, pieces of evidence contributed to an innocent man going to jail. Jack also talks about his latest weekend read on the Tyshkul family, who he first met last March when they arrived in Manchester as refugees of the war in Ukraine. What have the last 18 months been like as refugees in Manchester? And what are the next steps the family might take?

July 31, 2023 Who is really benefiting from Manchester's rapid growth?
In this week's episode, our data and policy reporter Daniel Timms talks about his big weekend read about Manchester's ongoing economic boom. Are the proceeds mainly going to property developers and the wealthy - or are the benefits spreading more widely? Daniel has spent the past few weeks digging into lots of data and speaking to leading economists and experts to try to answer that question - and some of his conclusions are surprising. (The episode features a few clips from the BBC documentary Manctopia, and a Radio 4 programme about Manchester's growth).

In this week's episode, Jack discusses his long read about Sacha Lord, the man who runs Warehouse Project and Parklife and who advises Andy Burnham. It's a new kind of podcast for us - a conversation in our office about how we did a story and the challenges that we encountered. Why did none of Lord's critics want to speak on the record? And what kind of rumours did we try to stand up? Please let us know what you thought of this new format by emailing [email protected]. And thanks for listening!
