Tom Burgess, founder and host of The Real Agenda said:

“Our aim is to bring positive political change. We can only achieve this by working together, and so we welcome these like-minded organisations to our network. As the audience numbers build, it increases the opportunity for cross promotion, co- marketing as well as advertising and sponsorship, in turn this will fund further development and an even wider audience. Podcasts are a great medium to share the message, as it is immersive, selective and listened by those that are genuinely engaged.”

Neal Lawson, Executive Director of Compass, the pressure group which campaigns for a Good Society and whose podcasts are also distributed by The Real Agenda Network commented "The Real Agenda Network provides a unique platform for progressive ideas and debate at a moment when they have never been more critical”
