    End of a second y-era

    End of a second y-era

    Final friday pod for at least a few fridays!

    We've come full circle, with the man who helped us get the show off the ground last year. Show-runner Luke Gardiner is guest host alongside Adam and Emily.

    This week we delve into some of the drama sorrunding MP resignations in the commons and what they mean, as well as a catch up on the lack of global economic crisis due to a debt ceiling deal being reached in the U.S. Everyones' talking about it, everyone's been waiting for our takes, we finally weigh in on the Philip Schofield Drama.

    Next we look to what's been happening and what will be happening over our little break, with special guest and best friend of the pod Bailey back for what will be his final show. We focus on the circus of shit that is the Republican Presidential Primary, as well as the ongoing Covid Inquiry Drama.

    Finally, we're all burnt right out of fucks. Emily, Bailey and Luke must work together to give out their final few.

    A&E Politics is hosted by Adam Wright and Emily Gray, with guest hosts this week Luke Gardiner and Bailey. The show is edited by Adam Wright, with production assisted by contributors Emily Gray, Thomas Lowe, Sumayyah Ali and Amy Joy. For the final time, A&E Politics is a University Radio Bath production.

    A&E Politics will return.

    Not to make it [music] political...

    Not to make it [music] political...

    We're back, and this time it's our Penulimate Pod (Of the Uni Year, We'll explain the future of the show next week!)
    This week Adam and Emily are joined by Tom and debutant Jack, lead singer of indie-pop band Outline.

    First we deflate your mood by talking at length about inflation and supermarket price caps, as well as the debt ceiling in America and the latest developments in the on-going Boris Johnson psychodrama.

    Then we turn to a long discussion about protest songs and political music, featuring various artists from UB40 to Sam Fender to the Specials. Adam also works in Bastille, because of course he does.
    Listen along to the protest songs (THIS IS A LINK)!

    Finally, we want to get to know Jack better, so we play a few rounds of "Is it jack? or is it wack?" to discover more about Mr Outline.
    The outro music to the show is 'Candid' by Outline, you can find the single here (Spotify).

    Something untoward has happened

    Something untoward has happened

    Exams are over (for some!), the weather is nice, it's time for another episode of A&E Politics.
    This week Adam and Emily are joined by Bailey and (Topless) Tom to discuss the new challengers in the American Presidential Race, the situation in Cardiff as well as the net migration figures and what they mean.
    TORY SCANDAL? Who knew? We discuss the ongoing Boris Johnson drama and Suella and her speeding. Raab is out, we just take a moment to revel in that feeling.
    Then, due to the death of the legendary Tina Turner on Wednesday Evening, Emily's 'Simply the test' provides a classic example of why Emily never makes the games.
