A first listen to The Whickers Podcast Pitch 2025 winner Redemption Man, with behind-the-scenes insight into the journey from idea to impactful audio documentary.
Go inside Redemption Man with a world-exclusive preview of episode two, Stranger In A Strange Land, followed by a mini-panel exploring the creative and editorial journey behind the series. Tracing a journey from Ladbroke Grove to Guyana, the session reveals how a remarkable true story was uncovered and shaped into a compelling audio narrative. It will also reflect on the project’s path to winning the Whickers Podcast Pitch Award in 2025, and what that recognition enabled creatively and practically. The conversation will unpack the challenges of developing independent work into an ambitious series, and the ethical responsibility of telling stories about British history, community resilience, loss, grief and transformation.
