Democracy Cracks #1: Political trust - A thing of the past?

What does political trust really mean and can democracy survive without it? In the first episode of Democracy Cracks, we unpack what political trust is, why mistrust is not always bad, and why the “trust is collapsing everywhere” story is more uneven than it looks. Democracy Cracks is a six-episode podcast mini-series exploring the cracks in our democratic systems, from weakening trust to widening social divides, narrated by TEPSA's Programme Manager Eva Ribera and produced as part of ActEU, a Horizon Europe research project.   Host and writing: Eva Ribera Production: Florence Ferrando, Barbara Vanotti Editorial review: Mariam Khotenashvili, Alexandros-Christos Gkotinakos, Ilaria Giustacchini Music: Nicolas Gadrat Sound credits: Leiden University Netherlands by Ryding -- https://freesound.org/s/483135/ -- License: Creative Commons 0 ping 2.wav by cameronmusic -- https://freesound.org/s/138419/ -- License: Attribution 3.0 Glass Shatter 2.wav by Greg_Surr -- https://freesound.org/s/554564/ -- License: Creative Commons 0 This podcast is funded by the European Union.
