Introducing Resilience in the Round
A brand-new podcast from the UK Resilience Academy

In celebration and support of our launch, the UKRA have produced a brand new podcast for the resilience community. Titled ‘Resilience in the Round’, the six-episode series is a fresh expression of the UKRA’s commitment to convening relevant, resilience conversations, as part of its developing ‘whole-society’ offer.
Hosted by our Head of Thought Leadership, Lianna Roast, each 30-minute episode welcomes guests into the ‘round’ to:
- Talk about the resilience structures and systems that they work in
- Share some of their personal stories from their context
- Discuss solutions for strengthening societal resilience, together
Episodes will be released once a month between June and December 2025.

Podcast 3: 'Professionalising Resilience'
