Laughing at politics in the era of the meme

Politicians speaking – on the news; in parliament; surrounded by whatever scenes might make them look like real people. How many of us are really listening to them? How many of us try to avoid them? How should we try to make sense of them? 

Hosted by Professor Stephen Coleman, this podcast is about how politicians speak: what to listen out for when you hear them; how to recognise their communication strategies; how to strip away the verbiage; and how to speak back to them.

Join Stephen, and his guests, to analyse the Sound of Politics.
