About this listen

Welcome to the boring side of politics.


We see through the left-wing/right-wing divide and strip away the media spin to focus on the power structures and economic systems dictating our daily lives. We examine current events through an anti-capitalist lens and answer your questions about politics, economics, and much more…


You can submit your questions to us on here, or through TikTok and Instagram @robcaple_ or YouTube @makepoliticsboringagain. You can also follow me on Substack for more political insights @robertcaple.


The revolution will be boring.
