The Sarah Hanson-Young Podcast
Welcome to The Sarah Hanson-Young Podcast. A place where we can have the important conversations about how we can make the world a better place and force politics to work for people - together.
Some people want you to believe that politics can't be fixed. Well, I disagree. I think we need to make politics a force for good, and you do that by having good conversations, calling out the bullshit when you see it, and standing up and holding power to account. Every single week, this podcast is where we can sit down and do that together.
