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.

Don’t Say Palestine: How The Media Hid A Genocide
Q: How do headlines influence public opinion more than detailed articles?
Headlines shape initial perception and are often the only part people read, creating fixed narratives that persist even when later information undermines them; paywalls and social media amplify this effect by limiting access to fuller context.
Don’t Say Palestine: How The Media Hid A Genocide
Q: Why choose the title Don't Say Palestine as a framing device for the book?
The title signals a broader critique of how language and geography are manipulated to erase Palestinian identity and reduce a political problem to a two-sided conflict instead of recognizing it as systemic oppression and ethnic occupation.
UK Sanctions Israeli Settlers - Is It Far Enough?
Q: What is your general reaction to the government's statement on settlements and how it translates into real policy?
While it's welcome to see accountability being demanded, there are gaps and a risk that the moves are symbolic unless they are tied to a comprehensive, concrete set of actions that end all support for the occupation, including arms trade, intelligence sharing, and economic ties.
AI Expert: A 10% Extinction Risk Is “Way Too Low” - w/ Nate Soares
Q: What probability do you actually think that super intelligence will be created in the next 10 years?
The guest suggests that the probability may be non-trivial and expresses skepticism that 10% is a safe or accurate figure, arguing the dangers could be much higher if race dynamics and incentives push acceleration without safety. He emphasizes that the question isn't just about timing but also about the alignment and containment of such systems.
Biden's Officials Tell All About Gaza. It Is Beyond Damning
Q: You interviewed senior Hamas officials in Doha. What did you learn from that?
The interviewees showed a complicated mix of recognition that the US could have behaved differently and a desire to be seen as part of the negotiating table, even if they questioned whether American power would demand tangible concessions. It underscored a willingness to engage despite the adversarial relationship, and highlighted how deep American assumptions about confronting Israel shaped perceptions of possible peace moves.
