Every week Peter and Victor put the world's problems under the microscope, but who are the two people actually asking the questions? Where did they come from, what shaped them, and why do they care enough to keep making this podcast?Sarah Burns steps into the host's chair to find out. From childhoods on opposite ends of the country to the experiences that pushed each of them toward activism and public life, this episode digs into the backgrounds, beliefs, and occasional bickering that sit behind the usual format.No topic to solve this week, no expert to interview.

What To Do About Political Policing

In this week's episode, Peter and Victor ask 'What to do About… Political Policing'.Political policing – the surveillance and disruption of lawful activism – has a long and troubling history in Britain. From the undercover operations of the Special Demonstration Squad targeting war protesters and animal rights activists, to the ongoing scrutiny faced by human rights advocates today, the question of how state surveillance is wielded against dissent remains urgent.Atif Choudhury has spent his working life challenging injustice and building fairer systems. As a social entrepreneur championing disability inclusion and economic justice, he's co-founded Diversity and Ability (DNA), Calling All Minds, and worked to establish the first Fair Trade Palestinian Olive Oil cooperative. He's a trustee of Disability Rights UK and advisor to the World Health Organization. But beyond his professional achievements, Atif's lived experience – shaped by dyslexia, the care system, and the complicated experience of being both welcome and unwelcome in Britain – gives him particular insight into how power operates.It's an insight born from being on the wrong side of the state's gaze. Who better to ask, and answer, 'What to do About… Political Policing'?
