What’s Politics #1 - No, Really. What Is It?

What’s Politics #1 - No, Really. What Is It?

What's Politics is a series where we delve into political concepts, ideas, and questions and explore how they impact all of us.  

In this episode, we discuss what does politics mean, in the first place.  On the one hand, we often hear people say they don’t like politics or that it doesn’t affect them. On the other hand, political discourse these days often tends to be polarising around culture wars and identity politics. But are we missing an important piece of the puzzle?
