Home Truths trailer: A radical rethink for housebuilding

Season 3,   Apr 30, 10:01 AM

Home Truths is the Building Talks podcast series taking a deep dive into the housing crisis. Jackie Sadek and Peter Bill talk to high profile guests about the need for a radical rethink of housebuilding in this pivotal election year.

The Home Truths series is being hosted by Peter Bill and Jackie Sadek - housing experts, authors and old friends. 

With a general election round the corner, Peter and Jackie have joined up with Building Talks for a podcast series all about the housing crisis and how to fix it. 

Over five weeks they will be sharing their views and inviting guests in high places who know all about the challenges of building more homes that communities and the wider economy need to thrive.

Jackie is a government adviser-turned-housebuilder, while Peter is former housebuilder-turned-journalist. Peter is also a former Building Talks guest having appeared in our 180 anniversary special episode to talk about editing Building magazine in the 1990s.

In Jackie and Peter’s own words, they have been around the block a fair bit when it comes to housing – they’ve even written a book about it together called Broken Homes. 

That doesn’t mean they agree about all the problems or indeed some of the solutions – quite the opposite. So expect some lively debate, even some good-natured bickering between them.

The first episode of Home Truths will be available to download on Tuesday 7th May.

Introduced and edited by Chloe McCulloch, editorial director for Building and Housing Today. Audio production by Tariq Aziz.

Home Truths is a Building Talks series produced for Building and Housing Today.
