About this episode
The episode explores the language and terminology surrounding the gender debate and political communication.
The language and terminology of the gender debate navigated and explained. What politicians hear on the doorstep and what they say to sound human. Is 'Double Dutch' the same as being 'All Greek', and should we end the Mexican stand-off? And when you look back on Beatles lyrics, are they Getting Better?
