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, exploring the issues that social enterprises face as they do good through business.
Sean McGinty, a radio journalist and social entrepreneur from Lancashire, presents and produces this podcast.
