Made in the Midlands is a podcast which investigates the cultural foundations of the UK’s most populous region. More than ten million people call middle England their home yet it’s a part of Britain which often seems little understood by our fellow Brits. Northerners are sure we’re southerners. Southerners are equally sure we’re northerners.
Made in the Midlands is a chance to set the record straight and to increase awareness of the talent the region has produced. In each episode Adrian asks his guests what part the region played in their success. Who are the important people, where are the important places that helped them on their way? And how can the Midlands get greater recognition for its achievements?
Made in the Midlands is proudly produced by Midlanders who are part of the award-winning team at Loftus Media.

Welcome to the Made in the Midlands podcast…a journey to celebrate and excavate the cultural identity of a region which is home to 10 million people. We love it here…but we also think the Midlands can be a part of the world that’s all too easily forgotten, ignored even. Northerners seem to assume Midlanders are southerners. Southerners think we’re northerners. And even people who come from round here struggle to define what unites us. So who are we? Adrian Goldberg asks some famous people from our bit in the middle of England, about their connection to their home place.
