Ep 1: How do we make sense of the US election? With David Runciman and Bill Barnard

November 10th 2020 - Welcome to Generation Politics - a new podcast and joint initiative by two Cambridge University societies, European Horizons Cambridge and Selwyn Politics Society.

Across this series, our aim will be to help empower young people – and young Europeans in particular – by shedding light on the political issues which are most important to Gen Z, our generation.

In our inaugural episode, we take on the recent US elections. We unpack this pivotal event with David Runciman, Professor of History and Politics at Cambridge and host of the hugely popular podcast, Talking Politics, and Bill Barnard, attendee to 7 Democratic and Republican National Conventions and former chair of the Democratic Party’s official arm in Britain, Democrats Abroad UK.

We tackle the implications of this election, on populism, polarisation, climate change and on many other issues.

Listen, subscribe, and above all we want to hear from you to decide topics for our future episodes - give the 'Selwyn Politics Society' and 'European Horizons Cambridge' a like on Facebook, and we'll be posting there soon.
