So now when I want to take over the conversation I say “look”.
22 May: spot on! If we’re shaking heads over here, what on earth are sensible Americans doing? (I know what my American friends are doing!!)
I love the combination of John and Emily but my god, did their last guest - Fiona Hill, like the sound of her own voice. It became unlistenable and so unenjoyable. Please never have her on here again. She was incredibly boring and just talked at you guys for the entire episode. Absolute waffle

The show features sharp, insider-style analysis of US politics delivered with accessible wit by two veteran political journalists. Episodes center on candidate races, party dynamics, policy debates, and the media's role in shaping public perception, with frequent forays into high-stakes issues like midterm strategies, foreign policy, and Congressional oversight. A standout trait is the hosts' willingness to challenge conventional narratives while weaving in historical context and actionable campaign insights, making it valuable for listeners who want clear takes on complex political developments and how they might affect markets, sponsorships, or PR strategy in the US political arena.
