Recently WECA decided that it would not allow the public to ask supplementary questions in meetings.

Helen Godwin commented:

> “people have the opportunity to ask me questions every six weeks or so, when I’m in the hotseat for an hour on John Darvall’s show on BBC Radio Bristol”

I know that my request for an hour off work to try and put a question to Helen Godwin on BBC Radio would not go down very well.

Also the [John Darvall](https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p001d77l?ref=bristol-uncovered.uk) show is only available for 4 weeks, so you cannot go back and listed to what Helen said in previous interviews.

So, I have started recording "Helen's (not very) Hot Seat so that these interviews can be kept for longer than 4 weeks.

I have also added "Chapter" links so that you can skip to the questions you are interested in:

The "auto captioning" software translated "Helen Godwin" to "Helen Goblin". I wonder if that will catch on as a nickname?

I hope people find this useful.

You will need to "Watch on YouTube" to see the chapter links.

I will carry out the same treatment for future "Hot Seat" interviews. The next one is in six weeks.
