Summary
Hello! Even before lockdown began, millions of people in the UK regularly struggled to afford to eat and the current crisis has only made this worse. This week we're talking about Britain’s hunger problem. Food bank manager Jon Taylor explains the huge rise in food poverty that he’s seen. Kath Dalmeny from Sustain talks solutions, including the case for a new 'right to food'. And we ask Unni Kjærnes about the situation in Norway.
Plus director, screenwriter and king of romcoms Richard Curtis chats about Make My Money Matter - his new campaign on how our pensions are invested.

| 0:00.0 | This episode is brought to you by Tautas, the slow newsroom. I am such a fan. I was saying a |
| 0:06.0 | while ago that I do worry that the news has become too much like a Netflix drama. Like stories |
| 0:13.1 | are treated like plot lines that have to include twists and cliffhangers over the course of a week |
| 0:17.6 | or so and then there's a dramatic season finale and you move on to the next one. And Tautas is the |
| 0:24.2 | antithesis of that and I love it. It's so much wiser and more considered and you can feel that |
| 0:30.0 | approach baked into all their investigations and campaigns and commentary. And as a Tautas member |
| 0:35.4 | you get more daily news letter, early and ad free podcasts like the Slow Newscast, London grad, |
| 0:41.7 | which is excellent. Definitely recommend that if you enjoyed our recent episode on Clepter Crats |
| 0:46.4 | and Dirty Money. And you'll also get tickets to their exclusive events. I'm just looking at who |
| 0:51.8 | they've had on and they've had some big names, Catlin Moran, I way way. Oh they must have had |
| 0:58.3 | a last minute dropout. I can see Ed Miliband's name on there. Listen, Tautas is such a great endeavour |
| 1:04.0 | and it just feels good to support this type of journalism, this approach and they have put together |
| 1:09.8 | an offer for you. 60 pounds for the whole year. That's for you as a listener to our podcast. I've |
| 1:15.2 | got a special link for you. So slow down. Wise up with Tautas membership for just 60 pounds a year. |
| 1:21.6 | Go to Tautasmedia.com forward slash cheerful for this exclusive offer. |
| 1:35.4 | This is reasons to be cheerful with Ed Miliband and Jeff Lloyd. Hello. |
| 1:41.2 | Come in Stoke Newington. Are you receiving me? How's life? |
| 1:45.4 | It's alright. I mean it's weird to think that by the time people hear this conversation |
| 1:49.9 | Super Saturday will have been and gone. Yeah. Have you got any plans? I think I'm sort of |
| 1:54.6 | taking it slowly I think. Same here. I'll tell you the two things I haven't really missed during |
| 2:00.8 | lockdown are structure and seeing other people. You haven't missed them. Not really. No, those are |
| 2:08.0 | the two things that single out really. So I can't imagine I'm going to go a bundle on on Super Saturday. |
