News EN ↓ 57 episodes

Hi I'm Frederika and this is my dad Mark,we were having one of our regularly scheduled arguments and decided to record it. Politics is becoming increasingly intertwined with everyday life. The international community is challenged by numerous security threats and the question of democracy and it's role is fundamental. We are going to discuss current events and lend our own independent perspectives to the podcast. We are here so hopefully our listeners can learn something and we can find some peace and clarity in our differing beliefs.
