Sunak's statement, finally calling a general election in the pouring rain, landed (badly) as we recorded our very first episode. Coincidence? Well, yes, obviously. But what an auspicious start for Alex Andreou and Naomi Smith's new politics podcast. Produced by Kenny Campbell, in cahoots with Sandstone Global. Our first guest is the brilliant More In Common's Luke Tryl.

"We hope to reach a community of listeners who want to take action - that crosses party lines. Because we think the fight that is coming - to push back the hate of populism, to say sharp elbows and stepping on minorities is not the only future - will require bridges to be built, all the way from left to right."
