The dream team is reunited! Season 1 Pupil Politics *legends* Hollie (now at Sheffield) and Rebecca (now at Leeds) return to the podcast, dialling in from Yorkshire for a very special one-off episode to answer Charlie and Kay's questions about the move from sixth form to university. An ideal listen for A-level students planning their next steps.

Charlie, Kay and Matthew audit Joe Biden's first year in the White House. #USpresidency #USCongress #USparties

As the year draws to a close, Kay and Charlie remind us of some of the biggest Politics stories of 2021.

[Correction: 8:53 should say 'eviction' not 'election'; we'll correct when we're back together.]

Recent decades have seen the rise of the celebrity-influencer (Nicki Minaj), celebrity-politician, (Arnold Schwarzenegger and Kanye West), celebrity-political-platform-creator (Chris Evans) and celebrity-lobbyist (Marcus Rashford and Joanna Lumley). Dylan, Rhys and Rebecca make their Pupil Politics debuts with this briefing. Editors: Grace G and Rebecca.

Charlie explains the 'Pandora papers' leak, and considers - pending any further investigations - what implications they might have for A-level essays on UK political party funding.

Arguing for, we have Adam and Milli of @pupilpolitics. And arguing against, it is a pleasure to be joined by Halima and Jaspreet of Cadbury College. Charlie chairs proceedings.
