  • Puritanical

    I live in Australia and i really enjoy this show. Particularly Anthony Scaramucci who I think remains objective in his views, true to his values and has insider information which explains some decisions that otherwise are puzzling to most of the population .

    Katty Kay have you converted into some sort or evangelical Christian sect as you are becoming incredibly puritanical in your views and inflexible and not objective. Tone it down because you are a little shrill in these views. Plus you are B... more

  • Decent when Anthony is on

    Very good podcast but it really isn’t the same when Mr Scaramucci is not on. Very engaging and intelligent man and he works well with Katty Kay. Stand ins are not good enough but everyone needs a holiday.

  • Trump shy crowd

    Jay Clayton is “lying for the good of the country”

    Naive at best

    “Just following orders” routine more likely

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Why High Achievers Still Feel Like Frauds (Anne-Marie Imafidon)
Q: Does that resonate with you?
Anne-Marie confirms the connection between her experiences and the guest's points about confidence, sharing that transferability of confidence across subjects has been a foundational insight.
How to Hack Your Nervous System (Kristin Neff)
Q: Can self-compassion coexist with ambition and risk-taking at work?
Yes. It acts as a safety net that supports taking calculated risks, reduces fear of failure, and helps people recover quickly after setbacks while maintaining a sense of intrinsic worth.
How to Hack Your Nervous System (Kristin Neff)
Q: How does self-compassion affect performance and stress?
By engaging the care system and the parasympathetic nervous system, self-compassion reduces threat responses, lowers cortisol, increases heart rate variability, and improves focus and performance under pressure.
How to Hack Your Nervous System (Kristin Neff)
Q: What is self-compassion, in simple terms?
Self-compassion means recognizing our own suffering, treating ourselves kindly, and connecting with the shared human experience, rather than blaming or judging ourselves harshly.
207. Is Trump Preparing for a Ground Invasion of Iran?
Q: What are you hearing about the likelihood of a weekend escalation?
There's momentum and signaling from the administration and allies that a regional buildup could lead to a broader escalation, but there's also internal resistance and concerns about the economic and human costs, suggesting a delicate balance rather than a clear path to a full-scale invasion.
