Protests, local heroes, and the Bearpit
from Inside Bristol Live Hosted by Reach Podcasts
This week on the show, we talk to reporter Robin Murray about a feature he is working on based on characters in the city we all know and love. Robin talks us through why he decided to write a feature celebrating these memorable personalities, he tells us what has been like to meet and chat to these characters, and discusses his future ambitions for the series.Next up, host Alex has a in depth chat with a fellow Alex in the office! Reporter Alex Wood talks us through his coverage about the Bearpit and a huge new redevelopment that could well become a reality. The Bearpit is well known in Bristol, it's a subway underneath a roundabout with space in the centre. The idea has also been to use this space to help businesses and bring the community together, however, time and time again it has faced challenges. Reporter Alex talks us through those challenges and the plans to try and successfully bring the space into the present.Last (but certainly not least), we talk to digital content editor Briana Millett on covering protests. Bristol has more than its fair share of protests and Briana explains how we cover these events, what we look out for, how we try to be balanced and the other difficulties when dealing with passionate people fighting for what they believe in.
