Episode 1: the beginning. If not now then when? If not us then who?
Leila D'Aronville and Caroline Pearce, from Tyne and Wear Cultural Freelancers, share our current thinking and some stories about why failure is really important, how we can have better conversations about it and squeeze learning from every little bit.
