The North in Numbers podcast tells the human stories behind various statistics for the north of England.

In this episode - the first of series three - host Annie Gouk gets to the bottom of levelling up, speaking to policy experts and people working in some of the key areas the strategy targets.

'Levelling Up' was a strategy set out by the Conservative party in their 2019 manifesto and has huge implications for the north.

However, recent polling by YouGov reveals that 74% of people don’t actually understand what “levelling up” is - including one in four people who have never even heard of it.
