Rock & Roll Politics Special: The Troublemakers
Join Steve Richards for a special end of year political deep dive - straight from the Rock & Roll Politics Patreon vaults.
In a bumper double episode Steve looks at the careers of Enoch Powell and Tony Benn - on the face of it, two very different figures. Yet the pair remain connected by their capacity to play the role of political troublemaker - a theme to be explored by Steve in a forthcoming new book.
Thanks to all the listeners in the Rock & Roll Politics co-operative for your support in 2024, and stay tuned for more in the new year.
