  • Best podcast

    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’ ??

  • Returning to Iran

    Shortly after the American hostages were released from Iran in 1981 a reporter asked former hostage Bruce German if he’d ever consider returning to Iran. In the greatest reply imaginable he said, “In the nose of a B-52”.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

PREVIEW: Realpolitik #41 | Liberalism: How We Got Here with Connor Tomlinson
Q: How do you respond to the concern that liberal institutions can become ideologically captured or fail to remain neutral over time?
The discussion acknowledges that if liberal institutions are taken for granted as neutral, they can drift toward instrumentalizations of culture or religion; maintaining civic virtue and a shared cultural foundation is presented as essential to preserving neutrality and effective governance.
PREVIEW: Realpolitik #41 | Liberalism: How We Got Here with Connor Tomlinson
Q: The question that I want to start with basically, I want to challenge you maybe in a way, and ask you to give a steel man case for liberalism.
The steel man case argues liberalism is valued for its checks and balances, diffusing power across institutions to prevent tyrannical rule and to ensure governance is guided by neutral procedures rather than the personal virtues or vices of rulers.
