In this month's Baltic Triangle podcast we're taking a deep dive into cycling and graffiti art in Liverpool City Region.

Bafta-winning  actor and presenter Simon O'Brien is the region's Cycling and Walking  Commissioner who is no stranger to the podcast. We spoke to him 2 1/2  years ago when he first started in the role with the aim of improving  the cycling and walking infrastructure of Liverpool.  His role has  been expanded to include the whole of the city region and he's as  enthusiastic as ever but says we still have a LONG way to go to catch up  with other UK cities - however he's determined that we can do it with  the right political support.

Sean Webster is a  young artist whose work you may well have seen around the Baltic  Triangle area and the city centre but not realised he's behind it.

In  a short space of time , Sean's career has really taken off.  We hear  about his artistic journey, his embrace of NFTs (non-fungible tokens) to  help to support his work and how he sees his career developing.
