Restart Radio: from changing plugs to changing the world

On our show this week, we had a special guest, Alison from The Goodlife Centre, a workshop and learning centre not far from Resonance FM's London studios in Borough. Through her thriving business, Alison has helped thousands of Londoners learn about DIY, electricals, plumbing and making/repairing furniture. She tells the story of some "dollhouse DIY" as a child and how her love of materials and production took her in fascinating professional directions. We also talked about why people no longer have DIY skills - why nobody can change a plug - and what motivates them to go to The Goodlife Centre to learn.
