Ask Policy Forum Episode III (part one)

On this episode, we bring you part one of our first-ever online live recording of Ask Policy Forum, the podcast where you ask the questions.

This week we’re bringing you something a little special on today’s Policy Forum Pod. With an all-star panel of pod regulars, plus one or two new faces, we tackled your questions in the third edition of our Ask Policy Forum series. From hard-hitting policy queries on the health and economic impacts of the COVID-19 crisis, to the serious business of lockdown snacks, our panel answered the questions that matter to you - and had a good laugh along the way. The team is also joined for the first time by a live online audience of our pod squad. So kick-back, relax, and enjoy the Ask Policy Forum ride.

You can get early access to this series, the chance to join our live audience in future editions, and chat with pod hosts and panellists about new episodes by joining our Policy Forum Pod Facebook group.
