06/09/2023

Final friday pod for at least a few fridays!


We've come full circle, with the man who helped us get the show off the ground last year. Show-runner Luke Gardiner is guest host alongside Adam and Emily.


This week we delve into some of the drama sorrunding MP resignations in the commons and what they mean, as well as a catch up on the lack of global economic crisis due to a debt ceiling deal being reached in the U.S. Everyones' talking about it, everyone's been waiting for...

This week Adam and Emily are joined by Tom and debutant Jack, lead singer of indie-pop band Outline.


First we deflate your mood by talking at length about inflation and supermarket price caps, as well as the debt ceiling in America and the latest developments in the on-going Boris Johnson psychodrama.


Then we turn to a long discussion about protest songs and political music, featuring...


Something untoward has happened

Exams are over (for some!), the weather is nice, it's time for another episode of A&E Politics.

This week Adam and Emily are joined by Bailey and (Topless) Tom to discuss the new challengers in the American Presidential Race, the situation in Cardiff as well as the net migration figures and what they mean.

TORY SCANDAL? Who knew? We discuss the ongoing Boris Johnson drama and Suella and her speeding. Raab is out, we just take a moment to revel in that feeling.

Then, due to the death of the legendary Tina...

It's the coronation, hold onto your bunting! We discuss how we all feel about the Coronation, the monarchy as a legacy of colonialism, and why Olly Murs is actually really good live?? Speaking of legacies, the coronation tends to drop hot new recipies. We discuss...


The Government of our hearts
04/28/2023

Unlike like your emergency alert, we're arriving exactly on time with a new pod!

This week Adam and Emily are joined by Sumayyah and Bailey to discuss Biden's re-election campaign kickoff and the - quite frankly gross - letter Diane Abbott wrote and its reprecussions.

Then we eulogise Dominic Raabs pathetic political career, and discuss the fallout from the report into his behaviour regarding civil servants and bullying allegations. We take great enjoyment in his downfall. Adam's Dad then hops on the mic to read us a Raab-esque poem.

Keeping with the theme...
