Adulting

Hey Podulters, this is the last episode of season 9!! I’ve absolutely loved this season - I think it might just be one of my favourites yet - and this episode is definitely a fab one to end on. I speak to Nadia Whittome, Labour mp for Nottingham East who also happened to become the youngest MP at 23, in 2019. We discuss the three things she wishes she had been taught in school, namely, being taught in a way that she learns, a fuller curriculum; including black history, the climate crisis and trade unionism, as well as how to cook properly. I really hope you enjoy, and as always thank you so much for listening x  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
