Leah's Yard: Persephonica move to Sheffield is 'huge show of faith' in the city

Sheffield-born Dino Sofos has earned himself the moniker the 'Prince of Podcasts' for his immense influence on the media format that has boomed over the last few years.

He is credited with the likes of the BBC's Newscast, Americast and more, and was the man who coaxed former King Edwards pupil Emily Maitlis away from her BBC Newsnight job to launch The News Agents with Jon Sopel and Lewis Goodall.

Sheffield City Council Leader Tom Hunt says Dino has given Sheffield the ultimate show of faith by moving into the new Leah's Yard development - his podcast production company, Persephonica, was previously only London-based with no official office space, but now they're in Sheffield and here to stay.

Hear from both Coun Hunt and Dino Sofos about the "no-brainer" decision to move here.
