The episode looks back at the Market Research Society’s second year marching at London Pride and reflects on the experience through the perspectives of some of those who took part.

This year brought a few special firsts, including live music and, for the first time, three children joining the MRS Pride group on the march. We talk to our guests about their experience on the day, what taking part meant to them, and what it was like to once again be part of one of the world’s largest Pride celebrations.
