From Monday February 17, The Party Room is getting a new look and a whole lot more politics. We're calling it 'Politics Now', the ABC's new home for political podcasts, and we're really excited for all the coverage we have planned of the coming federal election.

Politics Now will dive into the biggest political stories in Australia and around the world, giving you a balanced look inside the strategies and decisions behind the headlines. Whenever major news breaks, we’ll be in your feed with coverage you can trust.

From Monday to Wednesday, Patricia Karvelas will chat to a rotating cast of the ABC’s biggest political journalists about the latest news.

On Thursdays, ‘The Party Room’ with Patricia Karvelas and Fran Kelly will discuss the week’s developments in depth with another journalist, and answer your questions.

On Saturdays, David Speers gets into the detail of a major trend or issue with the help of an expert on ‘Insiders On Background’.

If you were already following The Party Room you don't need to do a thing, you'll get next week's episode automatically. Just look for Politics Now on the Listen app.
