For the thirteenth episode, I provide an introduction to what will be a central theme of this podcast: Populism. First I define what exactly it is and why it matters: populism is the broad idea that politics should not adhere to a set in stone ideology or offer the people strict choices in elections after which, their concerns are irrelevant. Where has it gone wrong in the past and why? What can it do for us today and what are the forms it takes on the left and right of the political spectrum today? As we go through, many other tangents and thoughts are explored. Please share this podcast with at least three friends for every episode you listen to ! (Or let me know why you would not recommend it, so that I can improve.) Be sure to follow me on Instagram @emxril and Twitter @emxril and the show's Twitter account @stateofuspod.
