Summary

As I'm away, Carl Kinsella and I can't do the usual news round-up this week. Instead, we decided to highlight some reasons to be politically hopeful at a time when there are plenty of reasons to feel down in the dumps. We both felt more optimistic after recording this, and hope you do too. To support the podcast and access bonus episodes, join the community on Patreon here . Hosted on Acast.
