In the first episode of The Inkling podcast, we're looking at how social media has radically changed politics.

Joining us for this week's Feature are Cristy Garratt, Social Media Editor at CNBC International, and Tommy Shane, a Digital Engagement manager at the House of Commons, Master’s student of Digital Culture & Society at King’s College London, and author of the recent Inkling article ‘Straight Talking: The Instapolitics of Donald Trump and Jeremy Corbyn’ (http://www.theinklingmag.com/now-then/rhetoric/). We’ll also be drawing on James Moran’s 2014 article ‘Politics and the Facebook Bubble’ (http://www.theinklingmag.com/technophobes-technophiles/politics-and-the-facebook-bubble/).

1. Instapolitics

This episode, Inkling Editors Rivkah and Helen bring up the bodies with gal-dem Comment Editor Charlie Brinkhurst-Cuff and Eleanor Careless, Editor of The Literateur.

The article Helen mentions, 'Call Her Out, But Call Her Cait', can be found at https://www.theedgesusu.co.uk/features/2016/03/10/caitlyn-jenner-call-her-out-but-call-her-cait/

2. Bodies

For its third instalment, The Inkling Podcast goes CLUBBING.

Editor Rivkah Brown speaks to Niko Munz, author of 'In This Club', Hannah Eachus of the Aphrodyki Collective, and Nabihah Iqbal, a.k.a. Throwing Shade.

3. Clubbing

The podcast is an audio-essay in three parts: an Editorial, where we’ll give our spin on the episode’s theme, a Feature, an in-depth discussion on the theme, and a Pull Quote, where we’ll draw on texts related to that theme. The episode's theme will bring together two of our previous essays, which we’ll announce the week before we air.

The Inkling Podcast is produced by Rivkah Brown, Co-Editor of The Inkling Magazine.
