Third Take

Third Take is a place to talk about the meeting point of entertainment and politics. We are dedicated to honest, mature, and respectful dialogues.

Despite this, we are dedicated to keeping Third Take alive. We'll let you know what next steps look like when we know.

Thanks for your support. 2/2

Hey all,
You've probably noticed that we haven't posted a new episode in a bit. We want to apologise and let you know we've run into some work/life balance issues across the whole team.

As a result, we've made the tough decision to put Pop Politics on hold. 1/2

The team is back this week, talking about the gig economy, hustle culture, and how to survive in a world that wants you to be always busy.

We're late to the party, but that #NintendoDirect felt a bit like E3 2015. Wish fulfilment galore!
