Andy Parsons: Slacktivist Action Group

Ep 02: Syria, trophy hunting and the Daily Mail - Slacktivist Action Group

With comedian Mark Steel; Helen Lewis, deputy editor of the New Statesman; and David Hanson MPEver heard something on the news and got so cross or depressed or confused – that the only thing you could think of doing was to turn the news off and dream of chocolate?Have you ever later thought you should do something about it – but you weren’t sure what to do, where to go, what to say when you got there, and didn’t have anyone to go with. Then you need The Slacktivist Action Group at the Soho Theatre on the last Monday of every month. And after we’ve heard from our guests, we will decide to do something! Hosted on Acast.

An MP, a journalist and a stand-up walk into a bar – and there’s an audience there… Ever been so fed up with the world that you’ve been unable to do anything but sit on your arse and do sod all about it? Then subscribe to the monthly support group for fellow slacktivists and do some more sitting on your arse this time with your headphones on. Three guests talk passionately about what is currently getting them fired up and hopefully some of that energy rubs off, so that we think about getting off our arses at some point in the future – at least to go to the bar afterwards.
