  • Mea culpa - 1969, not 1968 🤦🏻‍♂️

    Excellent episode, Sam Freedman is brilliant.

    I realised I got the wrong year for De Gaulle’s resignation, it was of course 1969, not 1968. Apologies!

  • The Best

    I agree with previous reviewer - I listen to most the politic podcasts and if I could only have one it would be this one. Always a clear in-depth analysis and I don’t hear the bias which creeps into other pods. I love Alex’s insights into various situations facilitated by Naomi and Kenny. All three are an absolute pleasure to listen to - hope it won’t be too long before you are in the top ten ( I love you all 😆)
