Philip O’Connor is a journalist and broadcaster and this autumn, as America goes to the polls to select a new president in what promises to be one of the most exciting and divisive political elections in history,
Philip is aiming to do something that has never been done before .
Record 50 podcasts from all 50 states in just 50 days.
Every day will bring a new update from the American heartland to help people better understand the issues that matter to ordinary Americans.
Philip joined Mario for Mario's Sunday Roast to discuss his plan of action, 'Instead of sitting at a desk rewriting press releases or talking to academics and other journalists and regurgitating opinion polls that turn out to be wrong, I’m going to hit the road through all 50 states for 50 days and see what they have to say.
"I’m going to visit diners and laundromats, gyms and gas stations, main streets and city halls to find out exactly what they are thinking and what will influence how they cast their votes."
