  • Always informative

    Since Attlee & Churchill has become my favourite podcast. I have had an interest in British politics for nearly 50 years & studied political history so much of the content is familiar. But there are always things I didn’t know and takes that make me rethink familiar episodes in our history. It also provides some escape from today’s rather dismal cast of politicians - whilst reminding us that everyone is flawed.

  • Forget what you think you know. Learn what you didn’t know.

    This is just a wonderful podcast. Lee and Richard are extremely passionate about politics in addition to being exceptionally skilled historians. They’re also able to agree disagreeably. What I love most about this podcast is that I often learn a bunch of new things about issues in the events that I thought I knew a lot about. You’re spending an hour in the company of two people who so obviously history, love politics and love each other. Bliss.

  • Thoughtful and Considered

    This podcast is regularly a fantastic listen and truly something different from mainstream political podcast offerings. The commentary is laser-focused on issues of political history, backed up by research which bridges political academia and practice. A real hidden gem which deserves a wider audience!

    It’s a year now since your fabulous pod cast, was trying to think of a show you could do , you’ve mentioned Frank field. Few times, the 2010 labour leafleting or the 2019 general election, are there any historical Tories or those associated with thd Tories that inspired Blue Labour?
