Holding the Powerful to Account: A Conversation with Pat Brittenden
Description
Today’s episode is my conversation with Pat Brittenden
Pat is an award-winning podcaster, YouTuber, and seasoned talkback radio host. With years of experience in podcasts and radio shows, he now dedicates his efforts to his primary project, Big Hairy News. This show offers long-form commentary on mainstream news, creating space to do justice to its guests and the stories it explores.

In this episode, we delve into some of the most troubling policies from the past political year and examine the human tendency to idolise politicians, mirroring celebrity culture. Pat also gives his perspective on moving beyond the dualism of the left-versus-right, focusing instead on the collective growth of humanity.
