TEDxNorthernQuarter: TEDx and Talks
TEDxNorthernQuarter: TEDx and Talks goes beyond the red dot to explore the people, ideas and stories that inspire meaningful change. Hosted by Andy Coley and Simran Whitham, each episode features candid conversations with TEDx speakers, organisers, creatives and changemakers. Together, they unpack not only the polished talks you see on stage, but the personal experiences, difficult questions and hard-won lessons behind them. From leadership, identity and creativity to technology, community and the future of how we live and work, TEDx and Talks makes big ideas human, practical and relevant. For curious minds, thoughtful leaders and anyone who believes that one idea - or one conversation - can make a difference. TEDxNorthernQuarter is an independently organised TEDx event. This podcast is independently produced and is not operated by TED.
