  • 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

  • Thank You Bonnie Greer

    Just as Bonnie Greer avoided watching all of Joe Biden’s disastrous debate, so I avoided the BYT “Biden Question” podcast. I figured it would just be a regurgitation of right-wing tropes, an unthinking echoing of the anti-Biden ageist narrative put out by Fox News, the New York Times, Russian bots etc. The Economist has fallen for the ageist tropes, as has the New Statesman, Campbell and Stewart and a few others. I’ve had enough. Why don’t they critically check the source of these “Biden is too ... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Sadiq Khan - talks Starmer, Trump and Islamphobia
Q: Immigration policy is a hot topic. How should the government balance control, compassion, and contribution?
Immigration policy should have three legs: control of borders, compassion for those fleeing persecution, and recognition of the substantial contributions lawful migrants make to the economy and society. The goal is orderly, fair, and constructive integration.
Sadiq Khan - talks Starmer, Trump and Islamphobia
Q: What do you think about the language used by some politicians that frames Britain's culture in a way that excludes Muslims and other minorities?
The language is exclusionary and harmful; it reflects a broader pattern where the culture war is used to justify hostility, but London's response has been to celebrate diversity and insist that Muslims and other communities contribute positively to the city's fabric.
Natalie Bennett: Green Thinking
Q: What does this book do that Change Everything didn't?
It goes deeper into the philosophical ground of Green thinking, examining why societies fund and organize themselves the way they do, and emphasizing unlearning outdated ideas in science, economics, and politics to foster a cooperative rather than competitive world view.
What The West Gets Wrong About Iran
Q: What did the Trump administration and its allies misunderstand about Iran that led to the current crisis?
The guest argues that a long history of Western misreadings, combined with strategic overreach and repeated violations of diplomatic commitments, has culminated in a distrustful dynamic where Iran is pressured to defend itself rather than engage in cooperative diplomacy.
The Human Factor in the age of AI, Apps and Tech
Q: Why is human connection emphasized as a remedy to the isolating effects of social media and algorithms?
Human connection provides meaning and resilience; public conversations, shared activities, and inclusive spaces help people feel seen and understood beyond online bubbles.
