Case Study

The Productivity Puzzles Podcast

The Productivity Institute at the University of Manchester needed a way to translate complex academic research into a format that resonates with students, faculty, and global policymakers.

By launching Productivity Puzzles, they created a bridge between nine UK academic institutions, using the podcast as a central "knowledge hub." For students, it serves as a dynamic learning resource; for faculty, it’s a high-impact platform to share place-based research on the UK economy.
