Politics Unspun

This is the account for what Somerset Local is calling "Podcast of the Century" - Politics Unspun. We're two economists with experience working in academia, think tanks, the civil service, and the Bank of England. In our podcast we're aiming to deepen the political discussion and focus on policies over party politics. So give it a listen if you even remotely care.* For legal reasons - "Somerset Local" does not exist...
