How are influencers affecting politics?

This episode of "6 Minute English" discusses the growing trend of social media influencers becoming involved in politics, particularly in Nigeria where a large young population is "turned off" by traditional media but follows influencers. The hosts, Beth and Pippa, explain how influencers "shape the narrative" and "branch out" into political activism, sometimes facing "pushback" from the public who "dig up" information about them. The discussion also includes a vocabulary lesson on terms like "super," "shape the narrative," "branch out," "pushback," and "dig up."
