Restart Radio: A small ask
Listen now
Description
Happy August, listeners! We’re on our summer break but there will be a special podcast episode in the coming weeks.  In the meantime, we have a simple ask for your help. Please take a couple of minutes to complete the Restart Radio listeners survey. The last time we conducted a survey of listeners was in 2019 and we found it incredibly helpful and took action based on many of your suggestions – this included the type of guests that we brought on, building the archive page for easier navigation of content, and transcripts which we are working on creating for each episode.  We really appreciate everyone who has taken the time to respond so far. We heard from a listener in Canada who commented that our “variety of subject on sustainability and repair is years beyond other outlets” which is part of the reason why we see value in producing the shows.  We’re also interested to hear that multiple listeners would like us to get more into the ‘nitty gritty’ about repair, pointing to our serialisation episode as a stand out in this area – which we are proud of! We’d love to hear what you think of the content that we have been creating – what have you liked and what we could improve. We haven’t had quite as much of a response as we did last time we conducted one of these surveys so please if you haven’t done it yet go fill it in. We look forward to hearing from you! Fill in the survey here!
