We interview Libby Peake, Senior policy adviser at Green Alliance. We talk about the public interest in more repairable products, and we discuss the current policy debates affecting our right to repair in Europe and the UK.
Restart Radio
Our podcast is unique in the world of technology for one simple reason – it’s not about buying new stuff. Join our Restart Project hosts twice a month, as they talk to the repairers, designers, writers, thinkers, activists and makers who’d rather repair.
Restart Radio airs live every second Tuesday of the month at 5pm on London’s best indie radio station, Resonance 104.4 FM (also on DAB).
Each month, in addition to a live radio show, we also produce a documentary – produced by Dave Pickering – where we follow these stories in a bit more detail. From a day with a washing-machine repairman to an interview with Arcade inventor and TV presenter Tim Hunkin, there’s something for everyone!
