It's great that our public feed of information requested from authorities has helped with this analysis. FOI helps uncover emergent themes in what people need information about. Looking forward to seeing what comes out of authorities digging a layer deeper into each theme.

Really enjoyed how this podcast explored using FOI alongside other reporting tactics. A key idea is using existing requests to see how the data might be held and how to best phrase a request. Chuffed to see @whatdotheyknow mentioned – we've over 1m FOI requests published now! 1/3
