EP25 | Eric, Elitism and The Authentic Self | Helen Aitchison | Local Heroes Podcast

This week, Chris and Dan sit down with our first publicly-voted guest, Helen Aitchison, joins us for a powerful, hilarious, and heartfelt episode. Voted by the People, Fuelled by Purpose (and Crisps) Helen went from 20+ years in social care to becoming a published author and founder of Write on the Tyne, where she helps people tell their stories and tackles elitism in the arts head-on. We talk about inclusivity, being your authentic self, why stories matter, the chaotic escapades of her cat Eric, her deep love of crisps, and quite possibly one of the greatest and mysterious Greggs stories ever. Also, watch this space for an exclusively pawfect giveaway courtesy of Eric
