  • Great content/ Bad Audio

    I have been listening to these podcasts for more than ten years and learnt so much from it so I am for ever in debt to the people making this podcast. However, I can’t understand why such an elite and important institution invest so little in their recording equipment and audio engineering staff. It really undermines the power and reach of all the wonderful people that get to have a public lecture there. I am baffled that one of the most venerable university in the world neglect this aspect in t... more

  • Academic echo chamber

    Feels like a bunch of academics desperate for self affirmation, somewhat out of touch with the rest of us, echoing each other…

  • A narrow, self-entitled, and judgmental view of the world

    Every so often—maybe once in ten episodes—someone with a different background makes an honest attempt to engage. But meaningful dialogue is not the standard intended ; instead, we get a predictable loop of pompous, self-congratulatory monologues, met with smug laughters.

    Yet, somehow, it remains oddly captivating… If you’re curious about why society feels broken, take a closer look at what’s being taught to our future leaders.

  • PLEASE FIX THE AUDIO

    This used to be my favorite podcast and it’s now become almost unbearable. The sound has never been great - poor use of mics I assume - but now there seems to be some machine being picked up by the mics or perhaps ungrounded mic cables causing an extremely distracting noise on every podcast I’ve tried to listen to lately. Listen to the Blood and Power episode, for example. Come on LSE, I know you don’t have Hollywood budgets but you must be able to sort out a few proper mics and a sound engineer... more

How to save the internet
Q: What should be done to handle misinformation or disinformation in relation to regulatory frameworks like the DSA?
Clegg suggests that while regulation is required, it should be done coherently across different jurisdictions to avoid fragmentation and confusion.
How to save the internet
Q: How can the UK evolve from a two-party system to a multi-party system so long as first-past-the-post remains in place?
Clegg believes that a deliberate decision by Parliament is needed to change the electoral system, and without this, the current system will not adapt organically to a multi-party landscape.
The crime of war: from the Nuremberg trial to Ukraine
Q: How likely are we going to see the Russian defendant prosecuted in these tribunals?
It is unlikely as long as the current regime in Russia remains, but the professor emphasizes the importance of not halting investigations and indictments.
The crime of war: from the Nuremberg trial to Ukraine
Q: Do you think any thought would be given to considering a legal concept of obstruction of justice with regard to the crimes of aggression?
Yes, the sanctions imposed on ICC personnel raise a serious question of obstruction of justice, considering the implications of U.S. sanctions.
The crime of war: from the Nuremberg trial to Ukraine
Q: Do we then get stuck with just war arguments that say, well, this particular war was important, or we needed this one from a moral standpoint?
The professor acknowledges the complexity of defining aggression and discusses the challenges of using just war arguments in legal adjudication.
