October 20, 2022 Episode #10: The week that ended the Tory Party!!!!!!
This episode covers arguably one of the most monumental weeks in politics to date that saw a change in both the chancellor of the exchequer, making Jeremey Hunt the 4th chancellor in a year, and the resignation of Suella Braverman as Home Secretary, making the newly appointed Grant Shapps the 3rd in less than a 6 months. Kartik and James go through the events of the week which arguably will see not just the potential end of Tory government but maybe even the party as we know it today.

October 14, 2022 Episode #9: Climate Politics, Fat Bear Week and Alaska Special Elections
James is away this week, but not to worry, Kartik is joined by two very 'humbled' guests, Josh and Alexei. Alexei discusses climate change, climate politics and what we can do to mitigate the impacts of climate change. Josh discusses fat bear week but subtly moves onto a more serious topic as he discusses the Alaskan special elections. The two 'humbled' guests then also argue about the state of British politics (nightmare to edit!).
