  • 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

  • Top notch investigative journalism

  • Bye then

    GIDS episode was awful journalism. It was just a chummy plug for a book being acclaimed by anti-trans bigots. I have cancelled my sub to all Byline media because I no longer trust it.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Starmer and Trump - A Special Relationship?
Q: Do Starmer and Trump have a special relationship of the kind that the UK in general is said to have with the US?
Starmer may have managed to connect with Trump, but it is uncertain how enduring this relationship will be.
Ukraine and Trump’s New World Order
Q: What are Ukrainians' thoughts on Trump's peace initiatives towards Russia?
Zarina expressed that many Ukrainians feel these initiatives are more about America trying to steal resources rather than seeking true peace, illustrating a sense of skepticism and distrust toward external negotiations.
Ukraine and Trump’s New World Order
Q: What is the situation in Odessa?
Zarina described the atmosphere in Odessa as being somewhat normalized despite the ongoing war, where residents adapt to the sounds of explosions, but the conflict remains a constant presence in their lives.
Vote Labour, Get....Reform????
Q: Kolbassia, you will know that there is political mileage in the question of migration and particularly that question of the small boat crossings. So, Labour is trying to diffuse that, is trying to take heat out of the issue and stop it being such a volatile political issue. So, the argument is that by denying citizenship to those who arrive in this country, by that means, they are helping to deter people coming to the UK. Do you think that will be successful?
Absolutely not. I don't know who's advising the Labour, who's that expert that's advising that when we set on the journey for safety, that we set with the goal, like, I'm going to go there and then my aim is to get citizenship.
Murdoch's Phone Hacking Shame
Q: How significant is this case and particularly this acknowledgment by News Group Newspapers that they used illegal methods?
It's hugely significant as it marks a long-overdue acknowledgment of illegal practices that have plagued the company.
