Welcome to the Backbench! This is our trailer episode introducing what’s to come from our podcast and media publication.
About Us:
The Backbench Podcast is an energetic team of students from the University of Edinburgh. Together, we hope to platform a range of perspectives to provide insight into the dynamic landscape of contemporary global affairs.
The Backbench will discuss both international events as well as local issues here in Scotland.
A student-run offshoot of the Edinburgh Political Union, Backbench Podcast was originally created in 2019. Backbench has previously interviewed Sir Lindsey Hoyle, Sir Desmond Swayne, Mohamedou Ould Slahi, and MSP Alex Cole-Hamilton. Despite a series of hiatuses, Backbench is back and excited to provide more cutting-edge analysis of both Scottish and international politics!
