About the Podcast

Getting In the Loop is a weekly podcast dedicated to exploring how to transform to a more circular society. Join host Katie Whalen as she examines the challenges facing our current resource use and discovers alternatives to the ‘take, make, dispose’ way of doing things. Each week she interviews circular economy experts about what they’re doing and learning. Together we’ll uncover what circular economy means in practice and find out what’s being done to keep our resources in a loop rather than sent to waste. It’s time for you to get in the loop!
