Three years. 80 workshops. One thousand speeches. One pub.
As Our Public House takes its final bow, so too does Albion; our long exploration of who we are as a country, and who we might yet become.
In this closing episode, Josephine reflects on the whole journey: from a tent in a field at Latitude Festival in 2019 to stages across England, from the first hesitant speeches in community halls and prison workshops to songs performed live every night on stage by a cast who made those words their own.
She's joined by composer Jonathan Walton, who talks about the extraordinary challenge of finding music inside real people's words and what it means to turn a speech written in a working men's club or a prison into a song that stops an audience in its tracks.
