  • Andrew is tiresome and self-indulgent

    Between his desperate attempts to sound like Alan Partridge on the weekly “what we learned” monologues, and his verbose, exhausting speeches that overwhelm any of his interview subjects, this is another Monocle podcast I can’t listen to unless I’m trying to torture myself. With so many great hosts, like Fernando, Emma and Georgina, why do listeners have to put up with this bloated, boring sideshow?

  • Smug and Boring

    I listened to this for 15 minutes but that was all I could take. The number one thing that makes podcasting interesting and informative is when the broadcaster tries to see all sides of issues and has a sense of nuance. This show and the hosts are boring, self-referential, narcissistic, and smug, unfortunately typical for modern “progressives”. It could pass for satire it’s so bad.

Is the long-feared US civil-liberties crackdown finally here?
Q: How do you see this evolving?
We're going to keep getting lots of odd images and content generation can work so quickly.
Is the long-feared US civil-liberties crackdown finally here?
Q: How is it possible, do you think, that someone like Vice President Vance... is able to keep both those thoughts in his head at once?
The discourse around free speech only applies to what they're saying; the moment you're saying something that goes against their own agenda, then immediately they are going to try and silence you.

Israel carries out targeted strike on Hamas leaders in Doha
Q: What are your impressions of how and why and wherefore?
It was not clear whether the strike was preemptive or retaliation, with the possibility that it was a planned attack justified by recent events in Jerusalem.
