About the show

The big and the small – all in one place. Because loving pop culture doesn’t mean you don’t understand politics. Tuesdays we unpack the headlines you need to know.  Thursdays we talk to the people you want to hear from on the topics you care about. And every month, we deep the stories from the past that you’ve been dying to understand. Hosted by Sarah Jane Adams and Hannah Ferguson. Find us at @bigsmalltalk_pod for more.
