  • Replaced ‘The Today programme’ for me

    After Brexit I could no longer stand radio 4 and the, frankly dreadful, biased journalism.

    This show is perfect; short, to the point and at about 25 min, perfect length.

    A brilliant podcast!

  • The “ socialist” take on daily news from a socialist newspaper

    Politically quite biased . Most of the podcasters and “guests” invited are openly left leaning socialists . Simply scroll down the podcast feed and just by reading the titles you can judge yourself

  • The Daily Mirror for mid-wits

    The quality of journalism has been going steadily downhill over the past couple of years. If I wanted to hear half-baked pontification and sensationalism, I’d just read The Daily Mirror. I’m finally unsubscribing to the magazine and podcasts. Not worth my time, and definitely not worth my money.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Resistance is fatal: another killing in Minneapolis
Q: So now we've got two Minnesotans dead. We didn't have time to start telling Renee's story of a poet and a mother, and a bright spirit. And now we're telling Alex's story. So my question is, what's the plan, Donald Trump? What is the plan?
That is a thorny question. What is the administration's plan in Minneapolis? It's the wider plan on immigration, on setting the narrative as more Americans are killed in the pursuit of that plan.
We’ll be right over here: Europe’s populists sour on Trump
Q: What about elsewhere in Europe?
In Germany, Trump's actions have created divisions within parties like the AFD, with some members feeling that support from America is too valuable to publicly criticize Trump.
We’ll be right over here: Europe’s populists sour on Trump
Q: Sophie, is it really so surprising that Bardella should be criticizing Trump in this way and so explicitly?
No, it's not really surprising because Bardella's party, the National Rally, is both inspired by Trump's rhetoric and also focused on a France-first program, creating a tension between that message and Trump's actions.
Power ballot: Japanese PM’s electoral gamble
Q: Will Takaichi's gamble pay off? How will she do?
Noah suggests that while the LDP will likely retain power, the extent of their majority influences how much Takaichi's gamble will be deemed successful or not.
Power ballot: Japanese PM’s electoral gamble
Q: So how is the opposition going to approach this election?
Noah elaborates on the mix of centrist parties forming an alliance and upstart populist groups emerging, both presenting unique challenges to the LDP in the upcoming election.
