Nick Robinson talks to people who shape our political thinking about what shaped theirs.
Each episode of Political Thinking features an in-depth conversation with someone who is shaping our politics. The people who run our country (and those who want to), campaigners, business and union leaders, and people who run other countries. All of them join Nick in the studio, not for a news-y interrogation, but for an extended and relaxed conversation, delving into their past and how it shaped their worldview.
New episodes drop on Fridays on BBC Sounds. You can also watch them on BBC Two at 12:30pm on Fridays or on BBC iPlayer. And you can listen on BBC Radio 4 on Saturdays at 17:30.

Wonderful!
oxbridge or nothing... dads friend in the city had a job lined up for me.... the entitlement he prides himself on says alot about industry hes in.
this made me miss David Liddington
Many thanks, JohnK
For goodness sake. We are in the middle of a labour party election and you still persist with interviewing tory politicians. What's the matter with you? Oh yes, you are a tory too
I'm sorry Nick, I love the podcast but I can't listen to Ms Piddock. And she's from my neck of the woods!!
I fundamentally disagree with most things Ken Clarke says but, like George Galloway, he is eloquent,funny and always worth listening to.
come on Nick, forget that you were a member of the Tory party and interview some non Tory politicians
Great interview of a man with true Scots courtesy and formidable intellect with the steel to back it up. He made the correct decision about Boris, pilloried or not.
Steve Baker is a scary megalomaniac
Gave up listening to this, unfortunately it appears to have become another BBC vehicle for bashing Brexit
the best leader and prime minister we never had. great stuff
The best political podcast, hands down. Insightful, human, and sometimes very funny. I didn't realise I liked Nick Robinson until I listened to this!

Very insightful. We all have a tallent! Thank you
Good God man, he's not the messiah
Enjoyable and. Informative
As a white middle aged man I have found the last three guests a challenging listen! On occasion I found myself acknowledging some of the points made but in equal measure I could see my believes at the opposite end of the spectrum. If nothing else they are informative and challenging!
Sublime informal political interviews with a tie off, sleeves rolled up style from the best political interviewer of a generation.
Thoughtful and thought provoking. Keep it coming!
