Working For Progress
Working for Progress is a podcast about work, wellbeing, and what it means to live a meaningful life.
Hosted by social entrepreneur Dani Trudeau and rooted in the community of Tribe Porty in Edinburgh, each season explores a theme, The Body, through honest, unhurried conversations with people who are shaping their working lives with intention. These aren't interviews about career advice or productivity hacks. They're deeper conversations about values, identity, creativity, burnout, purpose, and the quiet grit behind the work people do.
If you love podcasts like On Being or The Pause, and you're asking bigger questions about how you want to work and live, this is for you.
Available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and wherever you get your podcasts.

In this episode, Dani speaks with Hannah Low, Chinese-Scottish actor, writer, and maker of vibrant, narrative-led work for stage, whose credits span Netflix, BBC Scotland, and the Royal Lyceum Theatre.
Hannah talks about her deep love for drama and storytelling. Where it comes from, what it gives her, and why it remains the thing she keeps coming back to. They also touch on the reality of building a creative career: the funding uncertainty, the persistence it requires, and how genuine joy can be both the reason you do it and the thing that sustains you.
A warm and enthusiastic conversation about creativity, the stage, and what it means to follow what you love with real commitment.
Working For Progress is hosted by Dani Trudeau and produced by Alice Hudson.
Dani Trudeau, founder of Tribe Porty, a community coworking space in Edinburgh built on the belief that creativity, collaboration, and care are good for people, business, and the world.
