Podcasts
Parliamentary Affairs podcasts complement published and forthcoming articles. They are interviews with the authors designed to explore themes from their work, either to clarify more complex and technical ideas, or to broaden out interesting but possibly peripheral concepts in the written text.
Podcasts linked to ‘practitioner’ articles explore the contemporary issues analysed in the journal normally by considering developments since publication. Generally between 10 and 15 minutes long, the podcasts are designed to inform researchers and to serve as teaching tools to stimulate discussion amongst students.
