  • Pity

    I’ve never heard such a combination of arrogance, patronisation, incoherence and self contradiction as I did on 3/11/25. The use of irrelevant quotes and the frequency of same further undermines Chris’ credibility. l like the show generally but self reflection is required here big time

  • Wouldn’t miss an episode

    I’ve been listening to The Other Hand for a while now and I just love it. The mix of the guy from Waterford and the Welsh guy works so well — they’re smart, funny, and straight-talking. I really like the way they handle criticism and still stay diplomatic, and the content is always genuinely interesting. It’s one I look forward to every week.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Nationalism: where does it come from? The glue that binds us or the poison that kills us?
Q: If there was one or two practical steps that you would take today for any nation state to push it towards a better nationalism?
Focus on fostering multiple identities and ensuring education promotes inclusive ways of thinking about national identity.
Trump's superpower: is inflation about to play the role of Kryptonite?
Q: Does any of this resonate with you?
Yes, there are signs that Trump's influence might be declining, especially with the current economic climate.
Why the next bust is going to be particularly nasty. What would a business-friendly budget look like?
Q: What would be a good budget for the SME sector?
A budget that considers the holistic needs of SMEs rather than piecemeal measures, addressing the underlying issues like regulation and the lack of attention given to this sector compared to multinationals.
Economic resilience - don't take it for granted. Just ask Argentina
Q: What do you think about the current situation in Argentina regarding Milei's leadership?
Milei is in trouble due to his austerity measures and upcoming elections, compounded by a corruption scandal involving his sister.
Peace in our time? Probably not. 'MAGA Marxism' - count the ironies, follow the money
Q: Did he ever get that wrong?
Absolutely. But I mean, how do you interpret what Fukuyama got wrong at that stage?
