Welcome to The Memo with Kaylem Shepherd
This isn’t just another political podcast, it’s your front-row seat to the debates and decisions shaping our future. Gen Z deserves more than recycled talking points. We cut through the noise, challenge the spin, and bring you clear, honest conversations on the stories that matter most.
Britain is Broken.
Kaylem Shepherd sits down with broadcaster and financial analyst Albie Amankona to unpack the crisis of “Broken Britain.” From Brexit fallout to a leadership void, Albie delivers sharp insights on what’s gone wrong, why young people feel shut out, and what it will take to turn things around.
War, Trauma and Unbreakable Spirit.
Kaylem Shepherd sits down with Ukrainian MP Oleksiy Goncharenko for an unfiltered, deeply human conversation about war, resilience, and the mental toll of survival. In this powerful interview, Oleksiy reflects on the strength of ordinary Ukrainians, from frontline soldiers to families sheltering underground, sharing raw stories of grief, hope, and defiance. He also confronts the often-overlooked mental health crisis unfolding beneath the surface of Ukraine’s war effort.
Bullied and silenced
At just 18, Daisy Blakemore-Creedon made headlines when she won a seat on Peterborough City Council while still preparing for her A-levels. But just a year later, she has resigned from the Labour group, citing a toxic environment of bullying, marginalisation, and unaddressed antisemitism within her local party. In this candid interview, Daisy shares her journey from hopeful young campaigner to independent councillor, revealing the pressures, betrayals, and difficult choices that shaped her path.
