  • Love/hate this podcast

    I enjoyed listening to all of the episodes of wider lens but am disappointed with the activist tone and narrow mindedness of this reboot. The hosts are convinced there is no rational possibility a brain could be wired in such a way to make someone more aligned with the opposite sex, and that any resulting medicalization could positively impact those identifying as trans. It’s all a “delusion” in their minds and must be treated as such. No exceptions.

    Feelings of gender incongruity, and the... more

  • Love it a request

    Mia and Stella have accomplished so much for our culture in recent years. I’m huge fans of each for many years and love this podcast. A request of our beloved Stella: Please call men men. That is, “trans-identifying man” is correct, honest, and respectful. “Trans woman” is an impossibility and it is to uphold a fallacy that only exists in the mind of a single person. We must maintain honest language, including honest pronouns, at all costs, unapologetically, as there is nothing truer or more eth... more

  • Forget the naysayers

    It’s a great podcast. Not just ‘yes’ guests. It explores difficult questions in an easy way.

    It gives time to some that when challenged don’t have answers. We need to hear those non answers. Because the activists have been avoiding them far too long.

Journalism & Corruption with Nick Wallis

Wallis points listeners to genderblog.net for ongoing reporting, crowdfunding, and updates on court cases and conferences; he emphasizes the importance of crowd-funded journalism and transparent sources in investigative work.
Journalism & Corruption with Nick Wallis
Q: How did you break through with the Post Office story, and how did that lead you to cover the gender issue later?
Wallis describes starting with a whistleblower from Fujitsu, pursuing corroboration through Panorama, and building a campaign that gathered hundreds of claimants, which eventually led to high court cases and broader media engagement; this groundwork and persistence also informed his later focus on reporting around gender issues as the landscape evolved.
What Has Marxism Got To Do With Transgender Ideology? with Emmet Connor
Q: Is trans activism part of a larger globalist project or a standalone issue?
The guest contends it is one facet of a coordinated, internationalist strategy tied to Marxist theory, designed to destabilize traditional social structures and push for a revolution.
What Has Marxism Got To Do With Transgender Ideology? with Emmet Connor
Q: What do you mean by national sovereignty as an antidote to globalism?
He argues that national sovereignty, skeptical of international bureaucracies, helps protect educational content and borders, and opposes open borders, while cautioning about the unintended consequences of global governance.
What Has Marxism Got To Do With Transgender Ideology? with Emmet Connor
Q: Could you trace back how you came to write The Red Pandemic and how you arrived at this conclusion?
The guest explains that his interest in communism began around 2012, expanded through studying the cultural dimensions of Marxism, globalism, and their connections to woke movements, and led to the book.
