How to Save Democracy
Democracy is in trouble. Around the world, trust is breaking down, systems are creaking, and people are walking away. But we still believe in it. Not as something we have, but as something we do. How To Save Democracy is a podcast about repairing our relationship with democracy, hosted by Omezzine Khelifa and Jon Alexander, with producer Jo Barratt. We hold space for the hard conversations — the ones we all know we need to have. We'd love to know what you think when you've had a listen. If you want more, we need your help. Sign up, spread the word, and if you can, support us. Let’s rebuild democracy together.
