We've taken a break, had another lockdown and now we're back with part 2 of series 1. And to kick things off, we're tackling one of the hot topics of the past few weeks: the Presidential Election. Joined by US strategist and Senior Policy Advisor, John Bleed, we look at what a Biden victory might mean.

Going "Inside Missguided"In this episode, we take a look at Channel 4's controversial new docu-series - Inside Missguided.
