It was a great experience to take part in the podcast. Deepa put me at ease instantly and it was just like a lovely chat! As an organisation it provided an opportunity to elevate our profile and provided dynamic/alternative content that we could use on social media and our website.

I’ve been to 2 podcasts, this one and another different show. Deepa knew how to lead the conversation and in the same time made me feel comfortable. And I think the episode went really well and with good information. I would totally recommend, Deepa is a very welcoming podcast host. Thank you!

This podcast is remarkable. It’s open doors for groups Spread the word and how they operate. It’s definitely one of our kind podcasts. People from Manchester Known as Mancunians Are loving watching what goes on. It’s helping by giving other people examples of how things can help communities sharing stories and giving advice. I really enjoyed my time doing this podcast It should be available very soon. I hope you enjoy so a massive shout out to. The Mancunian podcast. Have a watch of all the different groups organisations in our walk of life it is remarkable.

I thoroughly enjoy listening to all the podcasts and learning more about the amazing people who live and/or work in Greater Manchester. For example, when I listened to Yasmin Ariff's WomenEd coaching journey I learnt about the profile of women who generally seek coaching and what their issues are. I think it is inspirational that Yasmin offered free coaching to women leaders in WomenEd, which benefitted them enormously and also informed her research. I learnt that leaders need to slow down to be more effective and that coaches encourage retention, as employees gain resilience and are empowered. Sarah Steinhoefel speaks in another podcast, she is another coach who works with women in their 30s and 40s who lack confidence. She spoke about the progress and changes that the had seen in her coachees throughout their coaching journey, which was really interesting. Although I have commented on two specific podcasts which centre on coaching, it is clear that a diverse range of individuals, careers and backgrounds are featured. I particularly love the search by category function, so that I can hear about different topics that I don't have much exposure to, e.g. supporting Mental health with theatre with Zac Blinston. Before I listened to the podcast I had a good understanding of mental health issues and ways to improve mental health but I had very little knowledge about how theatre could be used. Hearing different perspectives from people that come from different backgrounds and have different experiences is crucial for broadening our thinking.

I thought it was a really great opportunity to engage with a new audience and learn more about such an inspiring host. I felt a deep connection with Deepa and it enabled us to have a really meaningful conversation about a topic that is misunderstood and under appreciated. Deepa is a superb host and I would recommend future guests to get involved!

"Meet the Mancunian Podcast" delivers captivating social impact stories from the heart of Manchester. The engaging narratives, insightful interviews, and genuine connections with the community make each episode a must-listen. Kudos to the team for shining a spotlight on the diverse and inspiring tales that weave the vibrant fabric of Manchester. Highly recommended for anyone seeking meaningful and uplifting storytelling. Keep up the fantastic work! 👏🎙️

This is such a wonderful podcast which throws a spotlight on a community of Mancunians who are adding value and creating social impact in Manchester. The host is what I’d call a ‘servant leader’ - She is selflessly bringing to the forefront a group of really important people who may otherwise go unnoticed for their valuable work. Deepa has inspired me to set up my own podcast and she is even helping me with this.

Great hosting with a great mix of topics and guests

This is a brilliant podcast tackling difficult issues and showcasing the positive work done by the Manc worker Bees to make social impact and inspire others. Deepa is a fantastic host, welcoming, honest and asked the right questions without being formal. I would recommend this podcast to everyone 😍

Inspiring. This is a really nice idea to find out more about. Deepa as always provides every opportunity for the guest to explain their passion and how they bring that into the Manchester community for the benefit of many people. The podcasts are just like listening into a lovely, friendly informal chat.

I recently listened to the radio podcast show "Meet the Mancunian" and I have to say, I was thoroughly impressed. Deepa does an excellent job of facilitating engaging and thought-provoking conversations with a diverse range of guests. Each episode focuses on a different topic, ranging from music and art to politics and social issues. No matter the subject, the discussions are always informative and insightful. Deepa has a natural ability to ask the right questions and draw out meaningful responses from the guests. I particularly appreciate the in-depth and nuanced approach to the topics covered on the show. Both Deepa and the guests never shy away from tackling complex issues and exploring different perspectives. Overall, "Meet the Mancunian" is a fantastic podcast that I highly recommend to anyone interested in learning more about the city of Manchester and the people who call it home. The show is a great way to stay connected to the local community and gain a deeper understanding of the issues that matter to Mancunians. So, it is a must-listen for all the Manchester natives and those interested in Manchester culture.

Being interviewed by Deepa was a real pleasure. Deepa made me feel comfortable from the start. We could of chatted all day 😁

I esp like the kind of people she interviews! They have truly amazing stories to say! It motivates and helps me to see how I could also give back to society or go follow my passion. I would rate this podcast very highly! Keep it coming Deepa! Thanks for doing this ! Look forward to your next :)

Wonderful pod!

I really like the way Deepa has chosen the people she interviews. All of them have been carefully handpicked for their contribution to the local community and are very useful to local listeners and are interesting to overseas listeners like me. Here’s wishing Deepa & Meet the Mancunian all the very best!💐💐💐

I am a Mancunian myself and it is so interesting learning and finding out about individuals/organisations etc in Manchester that I had not been aware of.Learning about places I have not been to check out.Hot drink and a warm place to sit /travelling I can tune out and tune into Deepa Thomas-Sutcliffe and guest.

It was by sheer luck that I came across these podcasts-may be the unusual name attracted my interest; for a hardened grouch like myself with very little faith left in humanity- it was indeed refreshing to come across these Mancunians who make contributions to your community in their individual way.These good people deserve so much more than the hi so organizations and arm chair philanthropists who seem to flood the news space.Cheers Ms.Deepa Sutcliffe for highlighting these folks who are impacting your community
