The Al Carns one is excellent. Mark and Amber are very good interlocutors. Think the title is a bit dramatic though.
A great listen that should be high on the list of anyone interested in current affairs
Enjoy this pod, and I like Marc, although hearing the American view is increasingly less interesting/relevant, sadly.
I hadn’t subscribed but was prompted with the latest episode in which we discuss Tony Blair’s role in the 20 point Gaza peace plan. Extraordinarily bad analysis (until one of the pundits had the surprising foresight to suggest the plan had an air of colonialism to it before being led back onto the path of “Tony Blair is better than Trump”). Reopen the schools specifically for these people.
Excellent podcast, great content and very relevant in today’s world
