Download Catherine Bohart: TL;DR - 1. We Need To Talk About Kamala

Columns. Analysis. The Guardian's Long Read. Who has time? Catherine Bohart, that's who, and she's going beyond the headlines to give you the lowdown on one of the biggest stories this week, alongside a guest journalist and roving correspondent Sunil Patel.

This week: Biden steps down, Kamala steps up, but what's going to happen next? Puzzled by US politics? We've got you babes.

Katy Balls, political editor of The Spectator, and US politics junkie, is our guide through it all; and Professor Sarah Churchwell joins to look deeper into how a younger candidate might affect the vote.

Meanwhile, in the TL;DR Sidebar, comedian Sunil Patel throws his hat in the ring to be the Vice Presidential nominee. For both Trump and Harris.

Written by Catherine Bohart, with Madeleine Brettingham, Sarah Campbell and Ellen Robertson.

Produced by Victoria Lloyd & Lyndsay Fenner

Recorded at the Museum of Comedy, and Edited by David Thomas

Production Coordinators - Beverly Tagg & Katie Sayer
