I did a video with some thoughts on my long conversation with Craig Smith from the University of Salford. But WordPress is not playing nicely with my new format so here’s a link to the LinkedIn post!

We spent most of our time in the beautiful Storyhouse, a charity-run complex that include a library, a coffeeshop and bar (in the library!), performance spaces and a cinema. Benjamin Zephaniah was poet in residence there before he died, and the walls are emblazoned with his words.

Craig is a local and came with me for a stroll on the ancient city walls, pointing out lots of interesting stuff. He could definitely work for the Chester tourist board! What a beautiful little city.

Thanks to Craig for a fascinating chat!
