Political Thinking with Nick Robinson Podcast
Nick Robinson has a conversation with, not an interrogation of, the people who shape our political thinking about what shaped theirs.
Nick Robinson talks to people who shape our political thinking about what shaped theirs.
Each episode of Political Thinking features an in-depth conversation with someone who is shaping our politics. The people who run our country (and those who want to), campaigners, business and union leaders, and people who run other countries. All of them join Nick in the studio, not for a news-y interrogation, but for an extended and relaxed conversation, delving into their past and how it shaped their worldview.
New episodes drop on Fridays on 成人快手 Sounds. You can also watch them on 成人快手 Two at 12:30pm on Fridays or on 成人快手 iPlayer. And you can listen on 成人快手 Radio 4 on Saturdays at 17:30.
