OUT OF THE POD

Why make these videos?

The purpose is not to turn research into “content”. It is to translate evidence into public conversation without stripping away the substance.

Too much academic work speaks only to itself. Out of the Pod is the opposite: evidence, research and open discussion designed for practitioners, citizens and the wider public.
