Summary

On our latest panel edition: What does centrism in politics even mean? And why is the government still so worried about newspapers? Then finally, why do politicians have such weird taste in music? We’ve assembled a supergroup of Podmasters all stars, Rock & Roll Politics hall of famer Steve Richards, the chanteuse of Paper Cuts, Miranda Sawyer and Podmasters virtuoso Jacob Jarvis join frontman Andrew Harrison in the latest edition of The Bunker Panel. “Centrism is deeply subjective, that’s the danger of it.“ – Steve Richards “The most common response when they ask for people’s political ideology is: I don’t know.” – Jacob Jarvis “When politicians try to control the media they get it wrong. They need journalists to get the message out for them.” – Miranda Sawyer www.patreon.com/bunkercast Written and presented by Andrew Harrison. Produced by Alex Rees and Liam Tait.
