Pulse of the Politic is a student podcast series aimed around getting to the beating heart of political discourse, an attempt to find answers to some of the most pressing political questions of our time.

Our first season is focused on the importance of political discussion and engagement, as we, the KCL Politics society believe that politics begins at the doorstep of conversation and debate.
