Listen "Ep. 135: Political decay or democratic renewal? (Harris-Biden 'emergency' episode)"
Episode Synopsis
Just in case you needed one more 'emergency' politics podcast in the wake of the news that President Biden will not contest the US presidential election, and that it appears overwhelmingly likely that Vice President Harris will be nominated by the Democratic Party, Darren is joined by the ABC's Stephen Dziedzic to give their reactions, both personal and professional, on these remarkable events.
Is the US undergoing inexorable political decay, or can American democracy renew itself?
Australia in the World is written, hosted, and produced by Darren Lim, with research and editing this episode by Walter Colnaghi and theme music composed by Rory Stenning.
