Party Political Puffin's Podcast is up an running!

It has been difficult to realise the original vision of what the channel would look like.


Originally, the thought was that a 'Daily News' article would go up on YouTube every day, giving an overview of the days news. The channel would also provide a weekly 'Opinion' piece at the weekend.


The 'enthusiastic' view of being able to get this done was just that, enthusiastic, but it wasn't realistic. With the channel just starting and having to be organised, the fact that I am just one person, for the moment and all the technicalities of getting pieces up, there just wasn't the time to do all of this.


As those of you that have see the YouTube videos will be aware, they go quite in depth in an attempt to cater for those of us that do not spend every waking minute reading, listening to or watching some sort of news content. I wanted to make sure that if people didn't quite get some of the nuance or terminology or background to a piece then they wouldn't be left out.

Whilst happy at the feedback from the YouTube material I still wanted to be able to have some way of giving an overview of world events. The podcast seems to be a good compromise. It can cover over 10 stories in 15 to 20 minutes but doesn't have all the time overhead of making a video.

Of course you can make your way to the podcast website itself but I wanted to give those of you that have a preference for visiting a single site but still be able to get the daily content.

To that end, technical difficulties aside, I will put the podcast player in the posts but to begin with I'll put a group player up.


I'd be grateful for your feedback on what you think but I'd be grateful for any feedback you have in general for the blog.

As always, take care.

Be safe, take care of you, your family and loved ones and follow the advice given


Here comes the bit where I ask for your help.

The most tangible way you can show your support is through Patreon.

UK Government Cowardly Representative says "people are 'addicted' to the furlough scheme"

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2020/may/07/we-need-to-build-on-the-furlough-scheme-not-cut-it-to-avoid-mass-unemployment A Return to the 80's for the UK? This article, rightly, makes the point that forcing people back to work during a pandemic when the status of who's been infected, who hasn't and if there is anyone resistant to Covid-19 is unknown. That's before we understand exactly what a second and third wave of this will be like and do to the wider community. ​ However, the line that really chimed with me was the opening one: ​ "A senior government source warned yesterday that people are “addicted” to the furlough scheme. “We have to get people back to work,” he said. ​ If you are outside the UK and younger than I, to be honest, that's probably 90% of those reading this, you may not be familiar with the modern industrial history and why a stupid, crass and clearly ignorant comment like that from the ruling class would "chime...

I feel so grown up. I've gone and designed some merch for you guys!!!

Some of the biggest YouTubers have had to rely on sales of merchandise in the early days of their channels to survive. Before we get into it I'd just like to say, I hope you and your families and loved ones are all ok and keeping well and safe. Also, I'd like to say thanks for all the great comments and interaction from the last video. As I think I said in the video, it is a great feeling to know that I've made a connection with you. So, what's the "merch" all about? For anyone reading the blog that doesn't watch the videos, why not? :) But to bring you up to speed, I, of course, am no different to the big YT channel players. We all start somewhere, right? So, to try to get some financial support for the channel to survive, I have designed some imagery that will go on to merchandise. At first, it will be a range of clothing: hoodies, sweatshirts, T's, hats etc. But what kick-started this was a request from a veteran subscriber some time ago that asked ...
