Episode notes

Is the Culture House worth the city's £27million investment?

Join us - James, Aura and Taz - as we debate this by talking to nearby businesses and people working in the creative industries. Is there enough of a buzz about the Culture House for it to become what it's dreamed to be? And do the general public even know what the building is for?

Featuring interviews with:
