In this episode: What’s in the WAB and has any May idea ever died quite so quickly? Final learnings from the EU Election campaign that everyone pretended never was. The pros and cons of milkshaking.

On this week’s podcast: Why can’t the Remain parties get their acts together for the European Parliament elections, the most important vote on the EU since the Referendum? Historian ROBERT SAUNDERS joins us to explain what lessons we should have learned from the 1975 Referendum (Do YOU have a copy of ‘Common Market Reggae’? Top £ paid).

Wonders will never cease. All her avenues exhausted, Theresa May reaches out to the only person who can help in her hour of need. And that would be… Jeremy Corbyn?This week we look at the minefield that is the Theresa-Jezza Love-in. Is compromise possible any longer in the snakepit of the Commons? Who will carry the can for Brexit if they pull it off? And what does this mean for Labour’s General Election plans and the future of the two parties? As luck would have it we recorded right before Emily Thornberry launched her People’s Vote challenge to Corbyn but what do you want from us? Absolute topicality?Also this week special guest TOM KIBASI of the Institute for Public Policy Research joins us for a cheerful – yes, cheerful! – view of Brexit from the progressive end of things. He tells us why the real radicalisation of the Conservative party isn’t anything to do with Brexit and says there was another big lie told during the Referendum: “People were told not to risk something they never had.”In a double whammy of left-of-centre optimism we talk to RUTGER BREGMAN, author of Utopia For Realists And How We Can Get There. Universal income, a 15-hour work week and the end of “bullshit jobs” sounds great, but how does it relate to Brexit? Oh, and we start with a tribute to the great Orchestral Maneouvres In The Dark, on tour throughout Europe YES EUROPE later this year. Presented by Dorian Lynskey with Naomi Smith and Alex Andreou.

What the so-called Taxpayer’s Alliance’s capitulation to whistleblower Shahmir Sanni’s wrongful dismissal suit really means. What would Oliver Postgate’s animated series ‘55 Tufton Street’ be like?

Hear Me Roar Produced by Elsie Bath and Shejuti Hossain This episode takes a look at the gender inequality in the music industry and the ways in which it influences the work of artists and others in this creative field. Performers Miss Blanks and Lindy Morrison discuss what has changed and what has remained stagnant over the years, describing both the power and difficulties that come from their voices as females. Talking to Elspeth Scrine from the Listen collective, and Broadcaster Tracee Hutchison, the episode not only looks at where this empowerment movement has come from but what future it is fighting for.

Genre and Language Blending in Music Produced by Elsie Bath and Shejuti Hossain This episode will look at how genre and language blending in music is creating a new wave of music exploration and creative freedom whilst growing and strengthening community bonds and cultural ties. Artists like Baker Boy and The Fifths are mixing the use of language and genre in their music in a fresh new way that seeks to link their personal histories with their current influence and audience. Talking to Broadcaster Namila Benson and Hosts of PBS's All Our Stories, this episode looks at how music in this field is not only influencing the Australian music landscape in terms of creativity, but is having a positive influence over social and political issues. This episode was produced by Shejuti Hossain and Elsie Bath.
