The Political Dispatch

Another Year in Review

Listen Later

In this episode of The Political Dispatch, Tom, Sidd, and Lily come together to reflect on the moments that defined 2025.

The team looks back on a year marked by upheaval and uncertainty and discuss:

  • The ongoing civil war in Sudan and its humanitarian toll
  • The UK Supreme Court’s ruling on sex and its political implications
  • The death of actor and activist Robert Redford
  • Growing concerns over corruption and declining public trust in India’s political system
  • The continued epidemic of gun violence in the United States

    • Alongside these reflections, the hosts also take time to revisit the episodes that meant the most to them this year:

    • “The Life and Legacy of Jimmy Carter": https://thepoliticaldispatch.podbean.com/e/the-life-and-legacy-of-jimmy-carter/
    • “The Politics of Star Wars”: https://thepoliticaldispatch.podbean.com/e/the-politics-of-star-wars/
    • “Lessons in Democracy” featuring Chad Mott: https://thepoliticaldispatch.podbean.com/e/lessons-in-democracy/

      • Join the team for a wide-ranging look back at 2025: the stories that mattered, the questions that remain, and the conversations shared on The Political Dispatch.
