At metapolitics, we explore the hidden dimensions of politics that shape our world but often go unexamined. Hosted by Barry Richards and Mustafa Selek, this podcast delves into the psychological, cultural, and social forces underlying political behaviors and institutions. Each episode features conversations with leading thinkers—from psychologists and political scientists to journalists and philosophers—who help us understand the deeper currents moving beneath surface-level political events. Whether examining climate anxiety, leadership psychology, identity politics, or media transformation, metapolitics offers thoughtful analysis that goes beyond partisan talking points to reveal the human elements driving our collective political life. www.metapolitics.co.uk
