Work is Hot to Trot

Jo Myers recorded on 25/07/2024

Jo Myers is one half of the Swine That Dines and Co-owner of The Greedy Pig.

This is the bio Jo sent me – She states: "In a nut shell I’m a fifty-year-old woman just going through the menopause and this is kind of "my issue" if you like. I want to talk about it so it becomes normalised for women coming after her. I'm a mother to a 20-year-old young man. Been married to husband Stu for about 10 years. But been together since uni.

We own and run a small restaurant. Have just done a successful crowd funding campaign. I do yoga and knitting and sewing to control the rage. Love my job. Absolutely love it but, never ever thought this is what I would end up doing."

About the Podcast

Working Hours
The Story of Work in Leeds in the 2020s
What do you do?
Western Studios, Leeds presents Working Hours: a podcast series surveying the people of Leeds on their thoughts and feelings on the topic of work. I want to talk to my city about work. Why do we do it? Do we like it? What could we do differently? What will we? How does work change and how does it change us?
Leeds, the largest city in the largest county on the UK mainland, is a former imperial textile centre and is now a major UK financial centre. This series will document the city’s experiences through Lockdown, Brexit, creeping technological unemployment, new and continuing resource wars, the ongoing dismantling of the welfare state and our accelerating ecological emergency.
If you are in Leeds or from Leeds then help me to reach my target of interviewing 1000 Loiners over the 2020s. Let me ask you, what do you do?
