This week's Hobcast Book Show is a departure from our usual subject areas. We're joined by the co-authors of Vitalising Purpose, Jonathan Bland and Jamie Veitch. Drawing on their years of experience working in the UK's social enterprise sector, the book offers insights and suggestions for improving vital public services we all rely on, by introducing lessons learned from organisations and pioneers who've partnered with local authorities, government and public bodies to improve outcomes for the people who use those services. As Jonathan tells us, both he and Jamie hope the book will inspire new thinking and approaches to running public services.
Also this week, Adrian and Rebecca lament job cuts at one of the UK's most influential universities for creative writing, and discuss if a call from independent bookshops for publishers to stop referring readers to Amazon is a realistic approach to improving sales.
