10. Tripartisan

For those of you fortunate enough to not know us, we are three white guys who have an obsession with politics bordering on a clinical disorder. What few politics podcasts we have in NZ tend to be aimed at older demographics, focus on perception rather than policy, and are often dominated by political insiders with an agenda to present their parties line as fact. Tripartisan aims to be a progressive, unapologetic student voice helping you dissect what is going on in national and global politics each week.
