SEASON 2 - EPISODE 6 - Leo Capernaros

Crown Wharf Theatre is Stone’s (Staffordshire) new multi-million-pound community theatre development. Coming out of the joint vision of Joule’s Brewery and today’s guest Leo Capernaros, Leo and wife Harri initially had the dream of a small venue with a café attached. Things suddenly got a whole lot bigger when a chance email from the brewery landed on the council’s doorstep at the same time as theirs. Leo discusses the complications of setting up a charity, and his motivations for starting this non-profit community resource. He also talks about living in Toronto, and why his grandfather’s native language got him quickly thrown into the deep-end with the world of broadcasting at the BBC. We’d love to hear your comments about things you’d like us to discuss in future episodes, guests you’d like to see and, of course, coffees you’d like us to try:If you’d like to get in touch with us, our email is [email protected] If you like what you hear, and you can afford it, you can make a one-off donation to us via:https://ko-fi.com/coupleofdrips If you love what you hear, and would like to support us regularly, then please click on the “Support” button in your podcast app of choice.
