My Friends in the North is a twenty-minute podcast series from North East entrepreneur Sarah Waddington in which she interviews some of the North’s leading business and community figures.

1. Her career to date and the purpose of journalism.
2. The erosion of trust in UK news and hyperlocal as a solution.
3. Misinformation, Government leaks and a digital-first approach.
4. Helen’s Geordie heritage, the qualities she has inherited from her grandfather, Swan Hunter and regional pride.
5. The Sunshine Fund, which funds equipment for children with disabilities. Find out more at thesunshinefund.org.
