In this episode of the Contested Ground podcast, co-host Liam Garman is joined by Steve Kuper, senior analyst and government relations manager at Defence Connect, to unpack deepening social tensions in the United States ahead of the US election.

• The pair begin the podcast discussing whether modern journalism, with a focus on opinion over reporting, has worsened the political divide in the US.
• Kuper and Garman then discuss Russian interference during the 2016 election and give insight into the Senate's findings on how protest movements were exploited to achieve Russia's political objectives.
