    I love how this podcast champions Birmingham and also how Adrian reports so incisively on national issues. I look forward to new episodes.

    Intelligent, balanced reporting, great questions, allowing for full responses from guests.

    Well done Adrian and all involved.

  • Podcast good, advertising appalling.

    The Byline Podcast is trivialised by its associated advertising: gambling, AI, boom-your-business and so on. As if the content were a mere posture, dancing before capitalism’s drooling hellmouth. Hence three stars for the company kept…

  • Brilliant Journalism

    This is a searching and informative podcast. The latest one is an account by Dr Nick Maynard on his work with the people of Gaza. This harrowing first person account of bravery and compassion in terribly dangerous conditions. He teaches medical students as a consultant surgeon. His humanitarian work is an example of extraordinary courage. I am in no doubt that his account is honest and accurate. Israel is committing war crimes and genocide on a desperate civilian population and our Government’s ... more

  • Why?

    Adrian why are you avoiding talking about the genocide in Gaza? It’s shocking to see that no other important podcaster is either. There are a number of genocide scholars … Prof Martin Shaw is the best known in the UK. Why aren’t you talking to him. What is it that is stopping the podcast media from discussing the issue?

    Thanks

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The UK "Is a hostage to the bankers"
Q: Where would the money come from to fund these programs if not through bond markets?
From a combination of national savings schemes, pension fund realignment toward British industry, and capturing value from land or public assets to fund railways and retrofitting, thereby creating a self-sustaining investment cycle within the UK.
The UK "Is a hostage to the bankers"
Q: Jamie, welcome along. Your new report is called Hostage Nation. Why?
The central idea is that the UK's economic policy has allowed external bond markets to dictate terms; by redirecting domestic savings and creating a long-term pipeline for public investment, the country could fund energy, housing, and transport more directly, reducing vulnerability to market whims.
Andy Burnham's Jailbreak: Solving Prison Overcrowding
Q: And this is the point of crisis that Andy Burnham has reached, this point of prison capacity. How do you see a longer-term solution?
By shifting investment away from building more prison space toward prevention, community services, and addressing root causes such as poverty, mental health, and housing, so that harm is reduced and fewer people enter or remain in the system.
The Resistible Rise of The AfD
Q: Jan, welcome to the Byline Times Podcast. How would you explain the surge of the AfD in Saxony-Anhalt and eastern Germany?
The AfD taps into a long-standing mix of disaffection, economic strain, and a conversion of protest into a loyal vote. They've mobilized non-voters and created an emotional pull by promising transformative change, which makes the party feel more legitimate to those who feel left behind. This isn't a temporary spike but a structural shift tied to regional history, economic realignment, and identity politics that the traditional parties have struggled to address.
Why We Need More Empathy - Not Less
Q: What is the central flaw Gad Saad identifies in the empathy argument?
The guest argues that Saad misdiagnoses the problem by attributing societal issues to excessive empathy and that the real issue lies in patterns of extraction and misrule that require watching, understanding, and structural fixes.
