Listener Owned: Celebrating Co-operative Success
Listener Owned
Frequency: 1 episode/31d. Total Eps: 4

2025 is the UN International Year of Co-operatives. To celebrate this event, we're launching Listener Owned: a new podcast that'll be exploring and learning all about positive success stories from across the co-operative sector. If you support the co-operative movement, shop with a co-operative business, or perhaps you work within one, this show will help you connect with others in the community who share those same values.
We'll have interviews, analysis and round-table discussions that delve into every aspect of running a successful co-operative. We'll be discussing news from retail businesses, mutual societies, agricultural producers, energy generators and much, much more.
If you're excited to become a part of a podcast that's both owned and run by its listeners, then join us each week on your favourite podcast player.
