  • 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

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Is a democratic economy possible? Lessons from history, horizons for the future
Q: How could a switch from capitalist investment to democratic ownership be financed without suppressing investment in the short term?
The speakers argued that the threat of an investment strike is often overstated and that, in practice, broader ownership reforms—like wage funds and public provision—can coexist with investment if designed with credible transition mechanisms and long-term public support.
Mediate the middle: moving with and beyond dichotomies
Q: What is the instrumental utility of this framework for decision makers given the ambiguity you discuss?
Policy makers navigate tensions by acknowledging uncertainty and using dialectical reasoning to balance competing rights and interests, aiming to protect citizen interests over commercial ones while remaining open to reform.
Mediate the middle: moving with and beyond dichotomies
Q: In an ideal world, do you have a proposal that's different from both alternative and mainstream media?
Bart suggests a third way that leverages public service logic in online infrastructures, such as public service broadcasting ethos adapted to internet platforms, while safeguarding privacy and avoiding intrusive targeted advertising.
Mediate the middle: moving with and beyond dichotomies
Q: Could you think about an explanation for the phenomenon of media ignorance among senior journalists, from the perspective of your book?
Media effects are complex and interwoven with the broader information environment; journalists are part of a larger machine, and water often goes unnoticed while water remains swum in, which helps explain some of the observed ignorance.
Housing supply and the future of our urban planet
Q: What is the dominant factor behind high housing prices in desirable cities?
Prices rise primarily because supply is constrained relative to demand; expanding supply and reducing regulatory friction are key to alleviating affordability.
