This continues to be my go to pod for politics. A fantastically well informed team that eschews drama and concentrates on in-depth, proportionate analysis of the topics of the day. Plus the warmth and hilarity of the presenters makes it seem as if you are participating in a discussion with friends. Incidentally, it is on twice weekly not once every two weeks.
The launch of the Rejoin the EU campaign by Best for Britain; the appalling editorial choice by the Beeb about fake migrants; and some excellent film reviews/recommendations. Another excellent QR!👏
Lazy misandry and sneering at the natives by an Irish, Scot and a Greek. Anglophobic to its core.
Last week Quiet Riot asked what defines “British”. The answer is that it does. The Anglo-Hiberno-Helleno-Caledonian hosts are serious, generous, well informed, rational, warm-hearted, cool-headed, obstreperous, idiosyncratic, irreverent, and often very funny. Truly a very British podcast.
A great - and important - discussion on what Britishness mean. Keep up the good work!👏

A politics show built on calm, sharp analysis, and wit, with a strong focus on UK policy, elections, and global affairs shaped by current events. Across recent episodes, discussions often center on leadership dynamics, party strategy, immigration and national identity, economic policy, and the impact of external events on domestic politics, all delivered with measured critique, humor, and accessible framing. Notable strengths include clear, nonpartisan analysis that digests complex policy debates, regular feature segments that add color and rhythm, and a willingness to challenge narratives while staying relatable for listeners who want thoughtful, informed discourse.
