The focus for this podcast is the New Normal. Not the American Sitcom from eight years ago, but the suggestion that the Covid-19 virus will have a lasting impact on society. Similar previous pandemics such as The Plague or the Black Death caused terminal changes to medieval serfdom and the decline of religion. Will the “inspirationally” named Covid-19 change the country into a utopian vision of a workforce living and working in socially interactive villages with little travelling, or will we revert to pre 2020 lifestyle as soon as we stop being frightened of catching the virus?

In this podcast, Lynne Magennis is joined by Innopsis directors; Mike Thomas, Michael Bowyer, Des Ward and Keith Smith to discuss the issues.
