He talks to the people who know them best to find out what shaped them, what they believe… and what they really want.

The Badenoch profile was the worst Mugshots episode so far. Although the intervewer pushed back a little now and again, the almost 100% positive remarks of the interviewees went largely unchallenged. There are plenty of commentators who take a very negative view of Badenoch and her hard-right politics, but either none of them was approached for inclusion, or none of them wished to contribute to the podcast.
The Badenoch episode was appalling. A completely unbalanced procession of tories defending Badenoch without any criticism. Little short of a hagiography.
Great podcast which details the life and profile of some very interesting people.
