In this episode, journalist Stephen Edgington shares his journey from a politically curious teenager fascinated by Brexit to a leading voice in long-form interviews and documentary filmmaking. We dive deep into the evolving landscape of media, discussing the rise of independent content creators and the challenges posed by clickbait-driven platforms.
Stephen Edgington explains how mainstream and conservative media have often failed to represent the concerns of large segments of the public, particularly on topics like immigration, multiculturalism, and societal change. This episode also touches on Stephen’s investigative documentaries in the United States, where he has explored left-wing activism, Antifa, and far-left violence, highlighting how political polarisation affects both media narratives and public perception. From the rise of social media to the impact of long-neglected political issues, Stephen offers a historical perspective on how the public’s voice has been marginalised and what that means for democracy today.
