In this episode of The Cov Pod, I sit down with Laura McMillan MBE, Director of Audience Strategy, Coventry City of Culture Trust who tells me about her history in the city, how she first became involved with Coventry's bid for UK City of Culture and we take a look at a momentous year for Coventry.

Laura shares why there was a commitment to making sure that co-creation was at the heart of the Coventry 2021 activity and why it was important for new voices to be heard across the city.

We also talk about Laura's recent MBE award as part of the Queen's Birthday Honours and what Laura's plans are going forward.
