- Great!
Greetings from the USA! I’ve been stuck at home recovering from a brain injury for the last few months, and in filling my days this podcast has been a godsend. I’ve lost my capacity to read so I’m afraid I can’t read the books, but the podcasts themselves are more than enough. On that note, I’m curious if you’d be willing to go back to the earlier series and record episodes on Biden, Boris, Truss, and Sunak now that their tenures are over.

Fascinating & helpful introductions to important subjects. Thanks. The episode on Mussolini is excellent: good questions, helpful answers, well researched and presented .

United Kingdom4 months ago - How the right thinks. 😱
I've just listened to US diplomat Colleen Gaffey justify and whitewash Augusto Pinochet and the CIA executing Allende and installing a far right and murderous military junta. I'm nauseated tbh.
This is a useful podcast if you want some insight into how far-right conservatives view history. And only that.
