Working For Progress
Welcome to Working For Progress, hosted by social entrepreneur Dani Trudeau. This podcast shares honest conversations with people who are shaping their working lives with care, curiosity, and intention.
Rooted in the community of Tribe Porty and reaching beyond, Dani talks with guests whose stories reflect the everyday grit, values, and quiet purpose behind the work they do.
Through open and thoughtful dialogue, you’ll hear about career twists, meaningful choices, and the moments, big and small, that help us grow. These are stories of progress: not just professional, but personal and collective too.
We’re all working for progress; in ourselves, in our communities, and toward a more connected world.

Working For Progress with Andrea Fraser on Staying Human Inside the Law
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What does it take to stay human inside powerful legal systems?
In this episode of Working For Progress, Dani is joined by Andrea Fraser, a Civil Justice Lawyer at JUSTICE, whose career has spanned employment law, human rights, public inquiries, and some of the most challenging legal cases of our time.
Andrea’s path has taken her from early practice at Anderson Strathern, to leading investigations into historic abuse within religious institutions at the Scottish Child Abuse Inquiry, to working alongside Edward Fitzgerald QC at Doughty Street Chambers on international death-penalty appeals before the Privy Council.
But this conversation goes beyond CV highlights.
Together, Dani and Andrea explore what it means to confront institutional harm without becoming hardened by it, how hope survives inside slow and imperfect systems, and why fairness is not just a legal principle but a deeply human one. It’s a thoughtful, honest reflection on power, accountability, and the quiet determination required to keep pushing for reform.
A conversation about law and the people who refuse to give up on it.
Working For Progress is hosted by Dani Trudeau and produced by Alice Hudson.
