  • Not a Podcast Guy, but…

    I’ve taken quite a liking to this podcast and have made it a habit to listen to it each week, and so far I’ve enjoyed it, lots of great ideas and people to listen to on a variety of things

    My only wishes are to talk some more about the environment, and to also bring some more people on that Zack doesn’t agree with so much, as that was a promise on launch of the podcast, but regardless an excellent little show to listen to each week and I’m excited for more! 💚

  • Exactly what I needed in these troubling times

    I first heard Zac interviewed on another podcast. What he had to say was exactly what I needed to hear in these troubling times. This podcast quickly became essential listening and it wasn’t long before I took the plunge and joined the Green Party !

Should We Return To The EU? | Mike Galsworthy | Zack Polanski

Citizen empowerment is key to tackling the far right by ensuring representation and giving voices to communities that are often ignored in mainstream media.
Should We Return To The EU? | Mike Galsworthy | Zack Polanski
Q: What would your answer be to someone who is on the left or a socialist who goes, I want to see a socialist Europe?

I got into drag after producing a show and realizing I could cast myself in that role, which sparked my journey into drag performance.
