The man & the method behind that suit!
Episode notes
Formal politics is failing to resonate. With the lowest voter turnout in decades and a majority of citizens feeling abandoned by their representatives, the "story of Britain" is fracturing.
In this episode of Builders of the Broken Bazaar, Dr. Tabish Zaman is joined by filmmaker and presenter Adam Brichto. Adam has become a viral sensation for his "man in the suit" street interviews, entering highly charged political spaces—from Brexit rallies to Reform UK heartlands—to uncover the tensions beneath the surface of political certainty.
Together, they discuss the psychology of the suit as a tool for rapport, the systematic misinformation fed to the working class by billionaire-owned media, and why satire is a vital form of democratic expression. Adam challenges the "intellectual left" to leave their city bubbles and have real, empathetic conversations with those the system has left behind.
This is a conversation about connection over contradiction. It’s about finding the humanity in the "other" and realizing that before we can fix our politics, we have to start listening to the people the politicians have ignored.
Because when the system is broken, the most radical act is to stand on a street corner and ask: "How many people pay your wages?"
