When she's not producing podcasts for the Guardian about a vast variety of subjects Francesca Panetta is producing them for pleasure about Hackney, where we both live. Her latest contains in interview with Jennette Arnold AM, who represents our borough on the London Assembly and chairs it too. She reckons Boris has "a way to go" to deliver what he promised. There's also a bit with me in it, where I interview a local shopkeeper called Abdullah whose wide and ever-changing range of stock reflects the character of the area he serves. Listen to it all here, and for more about the legendary Lower Clapton Road take a look at my recent piece about it (pdf) for N16 magazine.
