Summary

Professor Rosie Campbell is Professor of Politics at Birkbeck University and specialises in voting behaviour. In this rickshaw ride through the psychology of voting, Rosie and Matt explore the appeal of local candidates, the Derren Brown-style techniques used in Rosie's latest research, a fascinating concept of 'Motivated Cognition' which could determine your opinion of a cat, plus loads more including a discovery of how sad they are which leads to a suggestion for possibly the best day trip ever. Oh and there's a revelation about halfway through about the studio which may not surprise you.

0:05.4	A three-week-old receipt? Why? Weird fluff, standard. A lottery ticket with six magic numbers.
0:11.2	No? Ah well, there's still time. This Saturday it could be you. Lotto from the National Lottery.

0:30.0	Hello and welcome to the political party this show featuring Professor Rosie Campbell,
0:39.8	Professor of Politics at Birkbeck University. The second guest is many weeks from Birkbeck
0:45.2	and two very different discussions. This one features and focuses on Rosie's latest paper.
0:52.4	Why friends and neighbors explaining the electoral appeal of local roots but goes off into so many
0:57.2	different and very satisfying tangents. It gets revealed how far you're going through but
1:05.4	this is the first episode that we've ever had a drink through because it was, I've gone all
1:10.5	you grunt, we were we fanted about Rosie and it's a hot day so this is recorded on a Wednesday.

1:39.6	nodding profusely in a way that she's never done to any of the political points made in this studio.
1:44.7	Only to the alcohol which, let's be honest, this is what really brings people together.
