  • Content

    I find this show very informative as it tries to close the gap between Europe and the US. As a Canadian we often feel we are in the mid Atlantic now in understanding our friends on both sides. More Canadian content as it relates to this would be appreciated ie trade and tariffs

  • Stimulating Conversations

    Roifield’s podcasts never fail to stimulate some of the stagnant parts of my brain. (Not medical advice). The guests are engaging and Roifield knows how to make complex issues digestible. I would say I enjoy them with a nice cup of Cafe con Leche, but to respect the host, I’ll have some English tea.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Gaza, Moral Clarity and Complicity
Q: Why has our media not been doing their job?
Media silence on the genocide can be attributed to influences and suppression from those in power.
Gaza, Moral Clarity and Complicity
Q: Why has it utterly failed to stop the genocide in Gaza?
The UN and other international organizations are perceived to be powerless against Western-backed mass killings.
Palestinian Politics and the Failure of Abbas
Q: Is there an appetite in the Palestinian movement at all towards the two-state solution?
While Palestinian leadership formally endorses a two-state settlement, public opinion fluctuates, with many seemingly moving towards a one-state solution due to pessimism about the feasibility of a two-state solution and current events.
UK Local Elections 2024
Q: If you're a Conservative strategist looking at the whole kind of panoply of the election results, are there any signs of optimism?
Conservatives believe they're heading for a hung parliament, and that Rishi Sunak is safe for now, despite the overall poor performance during these elections.
UK Local Elections 2024
Q: What were your big takeaways from last week's local election results?
The Conservatives are still in decline while Labour seems to be showing strength. However, there are notable gaps with certain voter groups indicating dissatisfaction with Labour's policies related to Gaza.
