SIMPLE POLITICS PODCAST Simple Politics does things differently. We exist to help you have better conversations about the issues and the changes that matter. We do so by being clear, accurate and impartial. Also, light-hearted, engaging and occasionally (but not as often as we think) amusing. It’s not just about understanding the facts and the topics themselves, but also looking at why different people hold the opinions they do. Those with whom you disagree aren’t monsters. Understanding and respect are at the core of everything we do. Our core offering will always be free. Unfortunately giving things away for free isn’t a great business model. We’ve never been business people. But. We do need to make this work. We do so through our amazing supporters who keep us going by buying stuff in our shop and making monthly donations. This podcast has been Produced by Stripped Media and edited by Ben Williams.

by Kate Leaver & Stripped MediaWHO'S A GOOD DOG Host Kate Leaver is joined by her favourite living creature, Battersea rescue Shih tzu, Bert. He is compensated for his editorial work in cheese. She asks her guests endearingly specific questions about their dogs, like the most expensive thing they’ve ever destroyed, where they sleep at night and whether they’ve ever done anything noble, embarrassing or hilarious. Also: how they’ve changed lives, what effect they have on our mental health and whether they play family members off each other to get double dinners. A spectrum of silly and poignant topics.
