Everything Feels Increasingly Political. Navigating Conversations With People Who Have Different Politics - Uncut with Zara Seidler

When it comes to politics, it can be particularly tricky to navigate political conversations with the people you love — especially when they sit on the opposite side of the fence. We have a very important federal election coming up on May 3 so we’re expecting these conversations to increase more and more in the next few weeks.
Today we wanted to dive into how pop culture has become increasingly political, why the divide between left and right feels so extreme, and perhaps most importantly, how do we actually vote for what matters to us, beyond what’s trending on Instagram or TikTok?

Today we’re joined by Zara Seidler — co-founder of The Daily Aus. The Daily Aus are particularly tapped into what young people are asking and what they care about in the political landscape. Zara has experience in the political world and also has a degree in political science.

We cover:

How politics has become embedded in pop culture
Why there is a push towards independents
What the upcoming election actually means for us
Cost of living is the number 1 thing people care about now
The issue with receiving political info from just one source
Algorithms, outrage culture and how it’s impacted politics
How to have conversations with people who have different politics
Tools to help you find what you align with
