E175 What is the cost of living crisis? Live from the World Transformed festival

In this episode we hear from Amardeep Singh Dhillon, Roxy Legane, Jeremy Corbyn, Khadija Diskin and Ava Vidal on how the ‘cost of living crisis’ is part of a long term political project relating to austerity, nationalism, policing, hospitality, food, housing, the media and much more. Each interviewee was asked: Phrases like the cost of living crisis end up getting used and repeated so much that the meaning and lives behind the issue get missed. What do you see as the urgent matters concerning the cost of living crisis and what would you do or advise to alleviate them? This episode was part of a mini-series recorded at The World Transformed: a festival of radical politics, art and music. In 2022 it was held in Liverpool between 24-27 September.
