Summary

This week on the Brexit-free podcast from the makers of Remainiacs… What are Baby Boomers so angry about? And will they always hoard the lion’s share of political power? Vladimir Putin, Original Populist: how he remade Western democracies in his own image. Marie Stopes sends her poetry to Hitler. And when is it right to deprive someone of the most sacred right of all: a Twitter account? Crammed into the bunker this week are Helen Lewis of The Atlantic magazine, ex-diplomat and foreign policy expert Arthur Snell, and good old Ian Dunt of politics.co.uk. “Especially in America, populists’ argument is that private enterprise is great and government is useless. So by getting into government and being useless, they get to prove their own point.” – Helen Lewis Produced and presented by Andrew Harrison with Ian Dunt, Helen Lewis and Arthur Snell. Audio production by Alex Rees. Music by Kenny Dickenson. Logo and artwork by Mark Taylor. THE BUNKER is a Podmasters production. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
