{"store":{"baseInfo":{"podcastTitle":"Personal Politics","slug":"personalpolitics","podcastDescription":"

Personal Politics takes a more personal look at the political world through the voices of those at the heart of it. Presenter Ursula Savage interviews politicians, journalists, campaigners and others in the political sphere, asking what motivates people to get involved in politics, what it means to them, and why it matters.

Ursula is also occasionally joined by co-host Aoife Clements to discuss the political matters of the day and the impact these stories could have.

After all, the personal is political, and the political is personal too.
