This week on Both Sides Now, we’re kicking things off with a bit of international chaos, from Shane Gillis’ monologue to Trump reportedly giving his press secretary just five days in the job.
Back home, the clock is ticking for young voters to get enrolled, with the deadline hitting midnight on 25 October. We chat about the enrolment changes, why youth turnout matters, and why politics affects pretty much everything we do — whether you’re interested in it or not.
It’s debate week, and we’ve got thoughts. The minor party debate with Tova was the standout, with Q holding his own against Chloe, Winny and Rawiri. The Chris v Chris showdown? A little more average. From comments about having more babies to vaping and the three hours of reading, writing and maths policy, there was plenty to unpack.
Plus, we hit the campaign trail to talk gangs, child cancer treatments, and whatever else the politicians are throwing at us this week. And of course, we finish with our social media moment of the week. Because if there’s one thing this election isn’t short of, it’s content.
