Sometimes this podcast can be fun and give really good nuanced discussion around different news stories. Lately it just feels like an anti-Labour propaganda machine. I’m all for criticising the government but it’s just putting the worst spin possible on everything and feels overly biased. Which gets boring.
Quote “they’re not the ones getting shot” “unfortunately”. Yeah it is unfortunate that people you don’t like are not being shot. Very progressive stance.
I listen to pod save America but hadn’t realised there was a UK version. As I’m in the uk I thought it would be a good listen. I couldn’t get through it though, feels more superficial than the US version, more like a twitter discussion. Prefer the Two Matts podcast at the moment.
Excellent
I’m very much the type who’d be instantly identified as a lifelong Labour voter who’s increasingly frustrated with Keir Starmer, so it’s no surprise that I’m broadly sympathetic to this podcast’s point of view. Even so, it often gives me something to think about, and it definitely makes me laugh. I really enjoy it.
