Welcome to the Guardian social enterprise network podcast - a new, monthly podcast about social enterprise. Over the coming months, we'll be speaking to social entrepreneurs and those who fund them, buy from them and work with them, and exploring the issues that social enterprises face as they do good through doing business
This inaugural podcast was recorded at the Guardian Social Enterprise Summit on 8 November.
Sean McGinty, a radio journalist and social entrepreneur from Lancashire, presents and produces this podcast.
In this podcast this month
The winner of the Guardian Social Enterprise Award - Peter Cousins MBE from Brighter Future Workshop
Murtaza Jessa from haysmacintyre, one of the judges of The Guardian Social Enterprise Award 2011
The minister for civil society Nick Hurd MP on why government support for social enterprise can't be 'top-down'
