Podcast by GovPod
GovPod is a podcast series by the LSE Undergraduate Political Review focusing on the blend between cutting-edge political science research and current affairs. The podcast will explore topics that are often incompletely covered by mainstream media such as China’s role in Kenya’s elections and what survey evidence tells us about how African citizens truly feel towards superpower involvement on the continent. Stay tuned for new episodes every week to hear about the findings of researchers from a variety of fields and most importantly, what they teach us about the world we live in today.
