Institutions & Migration

In the latest episode, we discuss what economic institutions are, their importance in determining incomes, and the impact of migration on institutions in developing countries.

Episode 23 - Afghanistan

The latest episode covers some recent Afghan history to explain how we arrived at the current humanitarian disaster in Afghanistan.

Episode 22 - Cuban Protests

In this episode, we address a flurry of listeners' questions relating to the current Cuban protests, and ask why Cuba continues to be a topic for conspiratorial thinking about international affairs.

Episode 21 - Immigration & Islam

In this episode, we continue our discussion of the "Culture Wars", looking at how immigration, and an increasing prevalence of Islam, are changing British culture.

Episode 20 - The Culture Wars: Part One

The Violet explains what "The Culture Wars" are, in the first of a series of episodes on the topic. This week, we discuss statues of controversial historical figures, museum exhibits of foreign artefacts, and the England men's football team's pre-match kneeling ritual.

Episode 19 - Tolerance

This week, we discuss the rather abstract political concept of tolerance, why it is so important to all societies, and how it should be upheld.

Episode 18 - Capital Punishment

In this week's episode, we discuss the arguments for and against a policy that many listeners in the UK will think of as anachronistic, but is still a relevant issue around the world and which may become a big ideological divide in the future.

Episode 17 - Immigration

This week we discuss one of the major political issues of the modern day: the economic and cultural impacts of immigration, in the specific context of the UK.

Episode 16 - Israel-Palestine (Part Two)

In Part Two of our first two-part episode, we discuss the lessons we can draw from Part One's history, as well as the many unhelpful ways that the conflict is commonly framed.

Episode 15 - Israel-Palestine (Part One)

For the first time, we've split one of our discussion topics across two episodes. In Part One, we lay out the history of 'the Holy Land'.
