{"store":{"baseInfo":{"podcastTitle":"Bridging Knowledge & Policy","slug":"bridgingknowledgeandpolicy","podcastDescription":"How can we bridge the gap between knowledge and policy? The Institute for Governance Reform is a research and advocacy think tank based in Freetown, Sierra Leone. We believe that weak public oversight of resource allocation and budget management is one of the underlying causes of poverty, inequality, and tension in Sierra Leone. We support public and private institutions to respond to economic development challenges, poverty, and state effectiveness.","podcastLogo":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/imglogo/image-logo/14570187/IGRPodcastLogo_kn7bc3.jpg","podcastShareLogo":"https://d2bwo9zemjwxh5.cloudfront.net/image-logo/14570187/IGRPodcastLogo_kn7bc3_1200x628.jpg?s=403325258ff31339e3ca44ccc0f44e14&e=jpg","podcastUrl":"https://bridgingknowledgeandpolicy.podbean.com","podcastCanSearched":true,"feedUrl":"https://feed.podbean.com/bridgingknowledgeandpolicy/feed.xml","theme":"focuspod","podcastDeepLink":"https://www.podbean.com/pw/pbblog-kb6iv-de52cb?from=usersite","removePodbeanBranding":"no","brandingLogo":null,"timeZone":{"timeZoneId":30,"gmtAdjustment":"GMT+00:00","useDaylightTime":1,"value":0,"text":"(GMT+00:00) Greenwich Mean Time : Dublin, Edinburgh, Lisbon, London","daylightStartTime":"Last Sunday of March +1 Hours","daylightEndTime":"Last Sunday Of October +1 Hours","timezone":"Europe/London"},"podcastDownloads":null,"totalEpisodes":17,"showComments":true,"iOSAppDownloadLink":null,"customizeCssUrl":null,"androidAppDownloadLink":null,"showPostShare":true,"showLike":true,"author":"Institute for Governance Reform","enableEngagementStats":true,"shareEmbedLink":"https://admin5.podbean.com/embed.html?id=pbblog-kb6iv-de52cb-playlist","language":"en","sensitivitySessionExpireTime":3600,"podcastApps":[{"name":"Apple Podcasts","link":"https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/bridging-knowledge-policy/id1635801732","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/apple-podcast.png","title":null},{"name":"Podbean App","link":"https://www.podbean.com/pw/pbblog-kb6iv-de52cb?from=usersite","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/podbean-app.png","title":null},{"name":"Spotify","link":"https://open.spotify.com/show/7vDiZ3nnp5znouzGRuVTXn","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/spotify.png","title":null},{"name":"Amazon Music","link":"https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/56d72449-3e93-4d6f-95b0-897ef9ce3df5","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/AmazonMusic.png","title":null},{"name":"Pandora","link":"https://amp.pandora.com/user/135e001905f14283425ba2910f7abf8b/podcasts","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/pandora.png","title":null},{"name":"TuneIn + Alexa","link":"https://tunein.com/podcasts/News--Politics-Podcasts/Bridging-Knowledge--Policy-p1714153/","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/tunein.png","title":null},{"name":"iHeartRadio","link":"https://iheart.com/podcast/99712659","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/iHeartRadio.png","title":null},{"name":"PlayerFM","link":"https://player.fm/series/3373860","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/PlayerFM.png","title":null},{"name":"Listen Notes","link":"https://www.listennotes.com/podcasts/bridging-knowledge-policy-infoigrslorg-AotwqZ8dT36/","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/ListenNotes.png","title":null},{"name":"Podchaser","link":"https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/bridging-knowledge-policy-4806873","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/Podchaser.webp","title":null}],"components":{"base":[{"id":"MainStyle","val":"light"},{"id":"Font","val":"Roboto"},{"id":"SecondaryFont","val":"PT Sans"},{"id":"PlayerColor","val":"#FF2C2C"},{"id":"PlayerStyle","val":"player1"},{"id":"PlayerWave","val":"show"},{"id":"Favicon","val":null},{"id":"CookiesNotice","val":"hide"},{"id":"CookiesNoticeContent","val":"
