How to listen to podcasts: everything you need to know

Alexis Tspiras's Syriza party entered government in Greece this week vowing to end austerity and fend off the nation's creditors. But with debt repayments due shortly, can Tsipras convince the rest of Europe to negotiate? The events will be watched very closely by other anti-austerity parties as well as the rest of the European left.

Joining Tom Clark to discuss this are Guardian data editor Alberto Nardelli, Athens correspondent Helena Smith and the director of the Re-Define thinktank Sony Kapoor.

Also this week: as the Guardian launches its poll of polls tracker, we discuss the role of data in the UK general election campaign.
