About the show

You know what a politician sounds like on the job. But once they leave office, that’s when they can share what’s truly on their minds.  Join host Sabreena Delhon as she speaks with former Members of Parliament, to hear, in their own words, what this job is really like. Their stories are woven together in a six-part series that explores a MP's path to politics, why they left, and what it cost them to serve their communities. Tune in to Humans of the House, a podcast from the Samara Centre for Democracy. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
