Strong Message Here - I Understand the Anxiety (with Ria Lina and Coco Khan)

Download I Understand the Anxiety (with Ria Lina and Coco Khan)

Armando is joined by Ria Lina and host of Pod Save the UK, Coco Khan, to look at the political language around anxiety.

How do we engage with difficult headlines? Can we switch off an just read about the rugby? Is AI starting to feel as anxious as us? and are we more sympathetic because of the personal language it uses?

We also discuss the origins of international women's day, the death of the public intellectual, and a workplace acronym to watch out for.
