Any Stupid Questions about... Housing?

Ever feel like you missed something important when it comes to the news? A fact, a detail, or an event that it feels like everyone else knows about, and now you'd look like a moron if you asked someone to explain? Well, here's a podcast that will ask those questions so you don't have to.This week, host Danielle Ward is joined by Jonn Elledge from The New Statesman and CityMetric, who will explain everything you need to know about housing - and assuming you like living indoors, that's quite a lot. Danielle is joined by comedians Gabriel Ebulue (host of the The Three Track Podcast) and Margaret Cabourn-Smith (John Finnemore's Souvenir Programme).Questions asked and answered include:Why are houses so expensive?Why do you need planning permission to put up a ten-foot statue of Dot Cotton on your own property?Why aren't the government building social housing?What is the best way to tax property?....so if you've sort of been guessing the answers based on a gut feeling, why not listen and find out for sure? And then subscribe to stay equally informed about other issues, as we get around to them.All our guests are on Twitter, so go and say hello - @jonnelledge @gabrielebulue and @mcabournsmith, and Danielle is @captainward. And the show itself now has a Twitter account: @AnyStupidQs. Follow it for information about upcoming episodes, recordings, and extra bits of the show that had to be cut for any reason (usually it's just a bit off-topic).Produced by Ed Morrish (@edmorrish)Music from www.akmmusic.co.uk Hosted on Acast.
