Hi, I’m Chris — host of The Copper Connection Podcast, proudly based in Blackpool.

We created this podcast as a revision and support tool for students working toward technical qualifications in construction. No backing, no sponsorship — just a belief that learning should be accessible, real, and relevant.

It started with my students. It’s helped them revise, reflect, and build confidence. And now, The Copper Connection has been nominated for two national podcast awards:

🏆 British Podcast Awards – People’s Choice

🏆 Podcast Awards – Education Podcast Category

These are public votes, and we’ve got just two weeks left before the shortlists are announced.

If you believe in:

✅ Supporting vocational learners

✅ Innovation in education

✅ Giving students more than textbooks

…then please vote and help us bring this project to the next level.
