Consistently excellent. Courageously prepared to examine the flaws and excesses of both the left and right.
Nick Cohen is one of the smartest political commentators around and his guests help me to better understand the political issues of today.
Great podcast
Thank you for this amazing conversation. You both expressed so much of what I have been witnessing and feeling. I will share this episode with as many people as I possibly can. On this subject, please think about interviewing Professor Tony Klug. Good luck with the podcast.

Conversations often center on UK politics, U.S. influence, and the broader international landscape, with sharp, evidence-based questioning that challenges mainstream narratives. Noteworthy is a willingness to tackle controversial topics, cross-cutting alliance dynamics, and the role of media and ideology in shaping public discourse. This series tends to attract listeners who want clear analysis, diverse viewpoints, and historical context to understand complex issues beyond sound bites.
