The Fix with Ravi Gurumurthy

The Fix is a podcast from Nesta that asks one big question: how do we solve the toughest challenges we face in the UK today?

In each episode Nesta CEO Ravi Gurumurthy is joined by one of the most prominent people in British public life - from politics, business and beyond - to discuss how they’d change things for the better. From energy bills to social care, housing to healthy eating, we tackle the big issues - and the decision-making behind them - head on.

There’s no spin or Westminster back-and-forth, just insightful, thought-provoking conversation from those who’ve helped shape the direction of our country.
