We talk to experts, innovators, entrepreneurs, disrupters and more, finding out why the Eastern region is the best place in the UK to start, run and grow a business. From architecture to zoology, every business has a place here, with Mike Rigby as your guide on this audio journey, celebrating and promoting our region. \n\nEastern Promise also features the Plug Board; where a panel of three get to plug their own business, event or project in exchange for giving a plug to someone else in return. And there‘s also a bit of lighthearted audience participation in ‘CrowdSourcery’, where folk from across the East of England - and even beyond! - choose their favourite things on a given theme to share and celebrate!\n\nYou can contact Mike at podcast@easternpromise.org.uk.","podcastLogo":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/imglogo/image-logo/12817790/EP-Logo-Apple.png","podcastShareLogo":"https://d2bwo9zemjwxh5.cloudfront.net/image-logo/12817790/EP-Logo-Apple_1200x628.jpg?s=5601eec12a5104aab72d9c32697a0526&e=png","podcastUrl":"https://easternpromise.podbean.com","podcastCanSearched":true,"feedUrl":"https://feed.podbean.com/easternpromise/feed.xml","theme":"waves","podcastDeepLink":"https://www.podbean.com/pw/pbblog-5a7p3-c3957e?from=usersite","removePodbeanBranding":"no","brandingLogo":null,"timeZone":{"timeZoneId":30,"gmtAdjustment":"GMT+00:00","useDaylightTime":1,"value":0,"text":"(GMT+00:00) Greenwich Mean Time : Dublin, Edinburgh, Lisbon, London","daylightStartTime":"Last Sunday of March +1 Hours","daylightEndTime":"Last Sunday Of October +1 Hours","timezone":"Europe/London"},"podcastDownloads":null,"totalEpisodes":407,"showComments":true,"iOSAppDownloadLink":null,"customizeCssUrl":null,"androidAppDownloadLink":null,"showPostShare":true,"showLike":true,"author":"Mike Rigby","enableEngagementStats":true,"shareEmbedLink":"https://admin5.podbean.com/embed.html?id=pbblog-5a7p3-c3957e-playlist","language":"en","sensitivitySessionExpireTime":3600,"podcastApps":[{"name":"Apple Podcasts","link":"https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/eastern-promise-the-podcast/id1592197772","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/apple-podcast.png","title":null},{"name":"Podbean App","link":"https://www.podbean.com/pw/pbblog-5a7p3-c3957e?from=usersite","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/podbean-app.png","title":null},{"name":"Spotify","link":"https://open.spotify.com/show/4RkBj4Ip9X3pAEaOuIsE6K","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/spotify.png","title":null},{"name":"Amazon Music","link":"https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/a808cbad-c33e-4bff-9211-3e5326257aaa","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/AmazonMusic.png","title":null},{"name":"Podchaser","link":"https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/eastern-promise-the-podcast-2146461","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/Podchaser.webp","title":null}],"components":{"base":[{"id":"MainStyle","val":"light"},{"id":"Font","val":"Open Sans"},{"id":"SecondaryFont","val":"Open Sans"},{"id":"PlayerColor","val":"#3A61B9"},{"id":"PlayerStyle","val":"player1"},{"id":"PlayerWave","val":"show"},{"id":"Favicon","val":"https://mcdn.podbean.com/mf/web/f5hfy9/EP-Logo-120px-x-120px.png"},{"id":"CookiesNotice","val":"hide"},{"id":"CookiesNoticeContent","val":"
