Owen Jones, journalist, author of Chavs and The Establishment, or "that left-wing idiot off the telly", is fed up with the establishment media. After all, it punches down, not up, blames minorities for all the problems in society, and, let's face it, often just parrots the government line. So this podcast is offering something different: speaking truth to power, giving the marginalised a voice, of... more

  • Tired of the clickbait titles

    I often enjoy Jone’s commentary and agree with his politics broadly but the tone and style of this podcast (just being outraged into a microphone) just doesn’t provide much insight and is at times unpleasantly vituperative. The show works a lot better when he is interviewing someone or leading a discussion but those episodes are few and far between. There’s room for podcasts with the one-voice format but not in my view when the tone is so unrelentingly vitriolic.

  • Outstanding

    Owen Jones might look ‘young’ but he brings a level of old-fashioned journalistic professionalism and integrity (facts, evidence, substantiation, rationality) that is rarely seen in MSM now. He also brings increasingly rare qualities - a clear-eyed moral worldview, humanity and compassion. Remember when journalists used to understand the difference between right and wrong? He has outstanding interviewees whom he allows to speak and it is a testament to the respect in which he is held that the... more

  • Can understand why legacy media hates him

    Owen brings facts and moral clarity. When the right are hysterical, Owen sounds like a raised eyebrow and a big belly sigh - “oh dear, let’s explain journalism again…”

  • Gorton + Denton observation

    I notice how although the reform candidate MG ‘speaks’ the language of the things that matter to people yet Nigel and the wider gang of expat landlords who jet in/land in Gorton + Denton from UAE/Saudi millionaire space have no intention of observing the reality of precarious homes/work on the quality of life/infrastructural/service investment needed: witness them having a secretive ‘rally’ with supporters on an industrial estate where they can’t be held to democratic account. The people who cau... more

  • A thinker: explain this please

    Question about pubs feudalism + reform’s constituency (it’s in the malformed pub culture)

    When we hear about new legislation about leasehold reform in property hooray why can’t it be applied as a lens on the medieval way pub land/pub estates operate on landlords and tenants? It seems to me that through all the penalties and charges imposed by the estate and landholders invisibly and unaccountably on the people who want to work in a neighbourhood setting that it creates a vassal/feudal culture th... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Mark Ruffalo: SMEARED For Opposing Israel’s Genocide
Q: How do you respond to critiques that large tech and media figures have undue influence over public discourse in this merger context?
The guest and host discuss concerns about media concentration and potential conflicts of interest, arguing that ownership and funding links create leverage over editorial decisions, and emphasize the need for regulatory scrutiny and transparency.
Mark Ruffalo: SMEARED For Opposing Israel’s Genocide
Q: Safra, can you explain how Oracle positioned its response after October 7th, and what messaging you felt was most important for the public to understand?
Safra Katz outlines Oracle's public messaging, stating the company publicly supported Israel and its employees, and describes the strategic choices behind broad visibility and support in the Arab world as part of corporate messaging; she frames these actions as a stance against extremism while protecting business interests.
‘Like The End Of The World’ - The Climate Crisis Is Turning Europe Into A Tinderbox
Q: What do you see as the concrete steps we should take right now to reduce risk and protect communities?
We need a just transition to net zero, more proactive wildfire and heatwave management, fire breaks, better water resource planning, and public evacuation preparedness to reduce harm and protect both populations and emergency responders.
‘Like The End Of The World’ - The Climate Crisis Is Turning Europe Into A Tinderbox
Q: Can you put this in the context of the climate emergency and explain why these events are becoming more likely?
Climate change is increasing greenhouse gas emissions and changing temperature and precipitation patterns, which makes extreme events like wildfires more frequent and widespread, especially when heat and dryness align. This means more intense fires and larger burned areas unless we reduce emissions and adapt.
Ukraine Wants to Merge the Iran War With Its Own - Trita Parsi
Q: Is Ukraine trying to merge its war with Iran's conflict, and what would that imply for US involvement?
Parsi explains that Ukraine appears to be pushing toward a merger of the two conflicts, with the aim of leveraging Western support to secure a broader American role in the war, potentially escalating US and allied involvement far beyond Ukraine alone.
