Note to listeners: The Meet the Mancunian podcast is taking a break until I return with Season 13 in October 2026. In the meantime, do listen to the over 138 brilliant guests featured on the podcast. You can select a theme that interests you or just work your way through the 12 seasons.

Welcome to Season 12 of the Meet the Mancunian podcast
Hosted and produced by Deepa Thomas-Sutcliffe

Welcome to Season 12 of Meet the Mancunian podcast. I’m Deepa Thomas-Sutcliffe, and I’m so pleased you’re here.

Meet the Mancunian is my way of shining a light on the people across Manchester who are driven by passion and guided by purpose.

In this new season, I’ll be sitting down with individuals who care deeply about their communities and are working in different ways to create meaningful change.

Through open and thoughtful conversations, I explore what motivates my guests, what challenges them, and what keeps them committed to the work they do. These are personal stories that reveal the human side of social impact — the values, experiences, and beliefs that shape action.

New episodes are released every Tuesday. You can listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, or right here on www.meetthemancunian.co.uk

Thank you for taking the time to listen and to support this independent podcast. I hope these conversations encourage you to reflect, connect, and consider the role you can play in strengthening your own community.
