  • Ads are annoying but this is top level podcasting.

    As per title. Andrew Neil is always listenable. Just finished the episode with Prof Steve Keen is calmly brutal. Terrifying.

  • Thank you Andrew and Team

    One of my favourite podcasts. I appreciate how Andrew lets a guest explain a point in detail and then either follows up with an interesting question or requests an elaboration. This is missing in so much media both old and new when it comes to the major issues of our time both well known and less well known. I would recommend this to anyone regardless of their political persuasion as it delves into topics notably economics and geopolitics which are poorly covered by most.

  • Indispensable insight

    Andrew Neil has a unique capability of clearly articulating arguments and insights to incredibly complex and contentious global issues. His analysis is always clear and informative which he manages to do whilst debunking the pomposity of our political and so called ruling classes. I await each of his podcasts with anticipation. He is a commentator and broadcaster that I always go out of my way to listen to.

  • Terrible

    Andrew Neil was obsessed with tweeting, writing and podcasting about Jason Arday. He’s an irresponsible journalist.

  • Always interesting and incisive.

    I have always admired Andrew Neal in his battles against the bias of the BBC ‘group think’ philosophy.

    His defence of Brexit against the Condescending Left leaning, whining Remainers is priceless.

    This is a man who is a great Journalist and Communicator.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Trump is causing a global product crisis & for what? I have no idea
Q: Can we do anything about this? What can be done? And if we see this coming, what can we do about it?
We can pursue anticipatory action: improve irrigation, stock seeds resistant to floods or droughts, and accelerate measures to protect production. In the immediate term, allowing vessels to flow and reopening key chokepoints is crucial to prevent deeper disruptions, while governments should implement targeted social protections and safeguard fertilizer and food supply chains to mitigate price shocks.
'The biggest economic story of our time.' Is China Shock 2.0 already here?
Q: What is the core difference between China Shock 1.0 and 2.0 from Pettis's perspective?
Shock 2.0 is higher-end, more technologically advanced, and focused on bottleneck sectors like batteries, EVs, software, and AI, with a capacity buildup that outstrips domestic demand and targets global markets.
Who was our worst prime minister & how do we get better politicans? Ask Andrew Q&A
Q: How can we improve the quality of our politicians?
A more diverse pipeline and less reliance on career pathways in Westminster, with a willingness to elect outsiders who are authentic and willing to speak their minds, could raise the caliber, though it remains a challenge to balance experience with new perspectives.
'Loony left' socialists are taking over the Democratic party, but will America vote for them?
Q: As we look at the midterms coming up with the House and the Senate, what would be a realistic expectation for the Democrats?
A realistic scenario is that Democrats could gain the House with a narrow majority and possibly control the Senate if the national climate remains favorable, though this would depend on dynamics like gerrymandering, candidate quality, and external events; the DSA wing could be a pivotal swing factor rather than a collapsing trend.
Trump’s Iran objectives have all failed... so what next? | The Andrew Neil Report
Q: What are the immediate options for President Trump given the current situation?
The guests outline a spectrum from a more aggressive naval blockade to limited force including power-projection and potentially covert coordination with Iran's internal opposition, but emphasize that a broad ground invasion remains unlikely and politically costly.
