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: Celebrating independents, last minute shopping and debunking hustle culture with Curate Glasgow
This is the second of our Christmas themed episodes, as we sit down with Kate from Curate Glasgow, an online discovery platform for independents, that enables them to share their work with new audiences, and helps people like you and me discover our new favourites. From cafes to chocolate makers, ceramicists to florists and much much more, Curate celebrates the best of Glasgow’s independent scene.
We first chatted to Kate back in early 2021, so I thought I’d check back in to see how the past 2 years have been, what’s in store in their Christmas gift guide, and how Kate has managed to find balance juggling this project on top of her full time job, 2 house moves and the return to ‘normal’ life. Whether you’re thinking of starting your own project or are currently running your own - Kate shares what has worked for her and offers some words of advice to anyone looking to launch something in 2023. And, if you’re looking for some last minute gift ideas, well we have something for you too…
