Author of 'Trans: A Memoir' and Suite 212 host Juliet Jacques takes us on a long march through Britain's reactionary institutions: the police, the media, and corporate comedy... plus the team reminisce about early 2000s Blairite Manchester. This is PART 1 of a two part interview, but you need to sign up on Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/thepopularpod) to get PART 2, where Juliet spills the tea on interviewing Jeremy Corbyn and lays out her design for a post-COVID hedonistic left!
