Ever felt like there's too much change these days? Don't worry, you're not (necessarily) becoming more conservative. In this episode, Nadia, Jem and Keir think about the ebb and flow of political currents, social movements and our inner lives.

What's the difference between being still and being stuck? When does a campaign turn into a movement? Why do we talk about feminism coming in waves? How can you tell you're approaching a tipping point? The gang turn such abstract questions into concrete history, with examples from punk to Corbyn, Daoism to degrowth.
