About this podcast
We’re pleased to announce that the Project EDWARD podcast has returned with the new title: My role in The Safe System. For the forthcoming season, we are planning monthly episodes starting Friday 27th October and leading us up to the Project EDWARD Parliamentary Reception. We will be working hard on presenting content that’s sparkling and compelling – as well as on growing the audience, which we believe should primarily be those with a professional interest in road safety, transport planning, sustainability, active travel, future mobility, etc.
