- Engaging, mind opening and thought provoking
Outstanding podcast. When people are being ushered more and more into divisive silos by our politicians, Amol Rajan ‘dares to go there’ with a diverse collection of alternative viewpoints that are credible, engaging and often challenging. The sort of intelligent thought leadership we need more of.

After the first few episodes I was recommending and forwarding this podcast to everyone, but sadly since then it’s gone downhill. I’m not sure what this programme is trying to achieve and had hoped it would take on some of the big issues we all face.

Big fan of Amol but these now feel like powder puff interviews rather than anything meaty. Have a listen to C4s The Nerd Reich if y... more

Great subjects and I love the open style that Amol uses to allow his guests to explain their viewpoints. This is a podcast you really need to listen deeply to, for full understanding which I think is a compliment in itself.
