Every episode has a joke filled look at the previous week\u2019s political news alongside in-depth interviews with political guests who fully explain and discuss current issues.<\/p>\n<p>In the episode, Olly talks about the effect of the COVID-19 lockdown on the comedy industry. Olly also discusses the effect of lockdown on universities, and what Kent has been doing to make sure the students still get a good experience.<\/p>\n<p>The podcast is available on the Partly Political Broadcast website, here:<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.partlypoliticalbroadcast.tiernandouieb.co.uk\/2020\/07\/21\/over-by-christmas-russian-interference-vaccines-brexit-fallout-and-dr-oliver-double-on-the-existential-threat-facing-the-comedy-circuit\/\">www.partlypoliticalbroadcast.tiernandouieb.co.uk\/2020\/07\/21\/over-by-christmas-russian-interference-vaccines-brexit-fallout-and-dr-oliver-double-on-the-existential-threat-facing-the-comedy-circuit\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr Olly Double, Reader in Drama in the School of Arts, has been interviewed on the latest episode of the Partly Political Broadcast podcast, entitled &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/arts-news\/2020\/07\/29\/olly-double-discusses-lockdown-and-comedy-on-partly-political-broadcast-podcast\/\">Read&nbsp;more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":55813,"featured_media":2648,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[167396,50018,124,9111],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/arts-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3920"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/arts-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/arts-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/arts-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/55813"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/arts-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3920"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/arts-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3920\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3934,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/arts-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3920\/revisions\/3934"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/arts-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2648"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/arts-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3920"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/arts-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3920"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/arts-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3920"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
