Great podcast
A great podcast! Nick asks ALL the right questions and has a no-nonsense approach to the topics. But…Think it’s time to come out of the wardrobe or wherever it’s recorded.
I’m surrounded by well meaning, but naive liberals. It’s such a relief to hear from someone with journalistic experience and perspective to call things out for what they are…
The most original and thought-provoking podcast on current UK politics.
No, not one of the best, the best.
Still the best of all the political podcasts
One of the best political journalists in the UK, excellent choice of guests too.
Somebody needs to sort out either his microphone or microphone technique though.

A brisk, politically minded show that hosts high-caliber journalists, historians, politicians, and authors to unpack current events, policy shifts, and global developments. 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.
