Talking Politics

Luke Sutton
About this episode

On the eve of the US election, Luke and Fraser take the opportunity to discuss politics and its effect on each of their lives. They discuss their understanding of UK and US politics, and share how their upbringing has shaped their views.


They highlight their reasons for their interest or disinterest in politics, and demonstrate how political decisions have had a direct effect on themselves and those around them.


Looking at the US election, they dissect the impact the young male vote may have in deciding the future president, and wonder if disenfranchised men may be a vital demographic for political leaders to win over.


Luke and Fraser also want to hear from you! Let us know the subjects you'd like to hear more about, and what would help you start having those difficult conversations. Follow us on TikTok, YouTube and Instagram @understandingmenpod
