Welcome to Season 6 of the Common Weal Policy Podcast. This year's theme is "Activate" so if you have a story to tell about an interesting thing happening in your community or if you're involved in a campaign to change things for the better, then please get in touch and we'll get you on the show to talk about it.
This week, Craig talks to Lesley Riddoch about her new film Denmark: The State of Happiness. Denmark is a nation in many ways similar to Scotland but one that has made many different choices. They discuss the similarities and differences between our two nations and what Scotland could do to move towards or at least learn lessons from a nation that is both one of the richest in Europe and regularly tops wellbeing league tables.
Lesley is currently touring with her film and you can book tickets at: https://lesleyriddoch.com/events
