Who inspires you? This podcast aims to share the stories of people throughout history who’ve made us stop and think: “This is why I want to do this.” The stories of centuries old mathematical puzzles, women who fought through barriers of racial and gender discrimination to achieve brilliant things, music that has inspired political change and bold women who were once forgotten now remembered. Here are the stories of the people who inspire us.
Who Came Before is a podcast by Wakefield Litfest, which is funded by Arts Council England and IVE.
