About this Podcast:

The Policy Fix is a series of straight-talking conversations about what’s broken in Britain - and how to fix it. Hosted by business leader Steve Rigby, the show focuses on delivery, outcomes, and practical solutions rather than politics or point-scoring. Each episode features leaders from business, public services, charities, and policy who have actually run things - people who know how systems work in the real world. Steve goes beyond the headlines to uncover what’s working, what isn’t, and what needs to change for the UK to get back on track. The show cuts through noise and ideology to explore hard choices, hidden problems, and the operational realities that shape Britain’s future. Honest, grounded, and focused on action, The Policy Fix is for anyone who wants to understand how to make the country work better.
