Three students. One panel. One topic. Every month. Welcome to Open Mic - the new political debate show from the University of Sheffield's Politics Society.

On this episode: the monarchy. What are the benefits and drawbacks? Is it too costly? Does it remain a key part of British tradition? Should the UK still have it? And what would be the alternative? A President Farage?

Open Mic is brought to you by PolSocPod, from the University of Sheffield Politics Society.

Presented and produced by Sam Burton.

Panelists: Leah Massingham, Max Astle, Herbie Warner
