As the producer of the podcast “These Times,” I worked with political editor Tom McTague and esteemed Cambridge professor Helen Thompson. Our mission was to delve into the intricate history of contemporary politics and its implications for the future. Every week, we looked at the ideas, and events that have shaped our current state, be it in Britain, the United States, Europe, or beyond. This podcast catered to listeners seeking a profound, historical perspective on the news, unraveling the true factors that have molded our world and the reasons behind them.
