Over the past year, we’ve asked every Play Attention guest the same question: if you could click your fingers and change one thing tomorrow to improve opportunities for play, what would it be?

For Episode 10, we bring their answers together in a montage of ideas, hopes and provocations.

From practical changes to big ambitions, from heartfelt reflections to calls to challenge the rules, the answers reveal the many different ways people are thinking about a better future for play.

Some guests chose one thing. A few broke the rules and wanted two...

Together, their voices create a fascinating picture of what could change — and what might be possible if we made more space for play.

Who you'll hear from:

Professor Helen Dodd, Professor of Child Psychology at the University of Exeter; Dr Sarah Louise Hurst, Clinical Psychologist | Founder of Fortitude Mums; Ash Perrin, Founder of The Flying Seagull Project; Anamaria Castillo, Landscape Strategies Director at KALQ Studio; Scott Chalmers, Head of Green Infrastructure at Urban&Civic; Cas Holman, author, designer, educator and play expert; Eugene Minogue, Executive Director of Play England; Parth Divekar, Founder & Managing Director of Grade Landscape Architecture; Ben Tawil and Mike Barclay, Founders of Ludicology; Emma Bearman, Founder of Playful Anywhere and Jenny Rutherford, Play Strategy Officer at Leeds City Council.
