Nick and Lottie evaluate different arguments about identity politics going on within Left/progressive/environmental movements. We do this drawing on the following articles that Nick has written for our blog progressivepostings.wordpress.com:

• ‘What Do You Mean By “Identity Politics”?’.
• ‘Do You Identify Or Are You Identified?’.

This show is a 3CR Summer Special – we encourage everyone to listen to and support 3CR Community Radio!

We also discuss the band Idles, class and identity; the documentary Street Gang: How We Got to Sesame Street; and finally the Netflix sketch comedy show I Think You Should Leave, ordinary cosmopolitanism and a new convivial culture.
