Reviews

4.8 out of 5 stars from 4.1k ratings
  • Best political podcast by far

    Even coming from an American this show is the only right leaning political podcast that’s well considered, funny, sincere, and for a younger audience and not corrupted by ZOG worshipping RINOs (US) or Tories (UK). FYI - the Nigel Farage Cameo segment had me almost peeing my pants. I laughed so hard I couldn’t breathe while I was driving. BIG CHUNGUS SENDS HIS REGARDS!

    Excellent podcast.

    ‘Breakfast with Beau’ is definitely my cup of tea. Love the way Beau explains the news in layman’s terms, along with normal common sense opinions and humour. I particularly like the unexpected entertainment & music references from the latter part of the 20th century!

    Ps. Does singing ‘Monday, Monday’ in my head, anytime I hear that particular day mentioned by anyone in the real world, officially qualify me as ‘one of the chosen few’ ??

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Breakfast With Beau | Wednesday 8th July 2026
Q: Was it a mistake not to declare the gifts from George Cottrell, sir?
The host summarizes that questions about undisclosed gifts raise concerns about transparency and potential legal or ethical issues, suggesting scrutiny will continue despite public statements.
PREVIEW: Brokenomics | Free Speech Bill with Michael Reiners
Q: Do we have a problem with free speech in this country? Can we make that case?
Yes, there is a broad problem evidenced by multiple organisations and a high number of arrests and convictions for speech-related offenses, including cases under the Public Order Act and other statutes, which the guests argue are overbroad and chill free expression.
How to Form a Brotherhood | Interview with Stephen Carson aka Radical Liberation
Q: What's stopping us from reviving these kinds of brotherhoods today?
Not much beyond social trust and governance; the conversation emphasized starting small, meeting in person, vetting members to maintain integrity, and gradually building from local chapters rather than jumping straight to large-scale organizations.
How to Form a Brotherhood | Interview with Stephen Carson aka Radical Liberation
Q: I wonder if I could just ask you a question or two about it in the broad sense.
We discussed how mutual aid societies historically emerged from practical needs to support members through tough times, and how these structures foster trust and real-world bonds that are missing in large welfare systems today.
We Haven't Had Free Markets for 150 Years | Interview with Ryan McMaken
Q: What are one or two pithy arguments to wake up someone Keynesian to the libertarian view?
Argue that the central bank does not prevent economic dislocations and that empirical history shows monetary expansion contributing to booms and busts, while highlighting how wealth concentration and policy-driven inflation erode real purchasing power for the average citizen.
