    Few reviews, all five stars, except for one detractor. Probably a well meaning friend of Tom or Calum trying to exalt them to reach beyond LEO.

  • Amazing podcast

    So pleased I got to know about this podcast via unheard. Got to say this podcast bangs on about all the stuff I have been going on about for years. Every episode is great and really gets at the heat of the issue of what’s wrong with the UK especially the lack of foresight into investment in solid traditional industries but also other sectors like tech and in the space race.

    The way it is presented is great not boring to listen to.

    Keep up this great work we need more people in the UK talking a... more

  • The Neoliberal Tech Bros

    An interesting set of podcasts that cloaks its elitist, neoliberal outlook in a veneer of intellectual curiosity but in reality is pushing a very sinister agenda.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

048. Katie Lam: Everything has to change for anything to stay the same
Q: Do you think the Conservative Party should lead reform, or can reform come from elsewhere?
Lam argues that reform should be carefully planned and detailed, with a commitment to ensuring government functions correctly; she believes the Conservative Party has a role in driving that argument, but reform needs to be systemic and well-structured rather than superficial.
048. Katie Lam: Everything has to change for anything to stay the same
Q: Can you describe the Britain you'd like to see in 50 to 100 years?
Lam envisions a Britain that remains vibrant and innovative, embracing change while preserving core values, with a strong space program, affordable energy (including nuclear), and a functioning state that supports enterprise rather than stifling it.
046. Will Orr-Ewing: Tutoring the next generation of elite talent
Q: Do you think specialized, elite curricula like an Odyssean or prep-school-inspired program could work in the UK?
Yes, but it should be balanced with broader civic aims, looking to successful models like Switzerland and Grande Ecole structures, focusing on producing thoughtful, capable citizens who can serve the nation rather than only chasing prestigious universities.
046. Will Orr-Ewing: Tutoring the next generation of elite talent
Q: What do you want from your children's education?
I want knowledge to be its own reward, with an education that vitalizes them—connecting what they learn to culture, history, and real-world roles in Parliament and public life, while also ensuring they have practical pathways to prosper.
031. Sam Adlen: The British company putting solar panels in space
Q: Why hasn't this been done before?
Due to the high cost of launching large systems into space, which is now becoming economically feasible.
