Independent Thinking - Exploring a new era for retail and the high street
A podcast exploring a new era for the high street - we discuss how bricks and mortar retail is evolving across the UK, and why the 'death of the high street' is far from inevitable. Join us as we go behind the scenes of inspiring retailers and shops you love, speak to industry experts making their predictions for the future, and hear from those at the heart of it all, sharing stories about how they started, how they continue to evolve and why they believe in their local high street.

Christmas Special: A toast to independent whisky shops with Woven Whisky
A cheeky festive special before the new series kicks off in the new year! And what better way to kick off proceedings that by chatting all things whisky - a drink that so many of us toast with at Hogmanay, or treat others to as a present at this time of year.
So, we’re chatting to Duncan from Woven - a disruptor to the market and makers of blended whisky, based in Leith, Edinburgh. We chat about the incredible expertise that whisky shops can offer, what role supermarkets have had in shaping our tastes nationally, why it remains such a gendered product and why your taste in curries can say more about your whisky preferences than you’d think…
