- Irony
The sheer irony of Angry Roberts and Angry Cornish describing the SDR as an ‘angry rant’. So they ranted about it angrily for 42 mins.
Get a grip fellas, Roberts especially.

If only opinions could substitute for analysis…
Apple Podcasts2>>lUnited Kingdom4 months ago - Roberts please get a grip
How many times in the recent episode with Amelie Tolvin does Roberts accuse other commentators of things they haven’t actually said? It’s bizarre. He claims the ‘prevailing narrative’ to be something it actually isn’t. And he does this consistently episode after episode. He should also stop adding the word ‘right’ on the end of every other sentence.
Apple Podcasts1Henry de GrosmontUnited Kingdom4 months ago - Why so much negativity?
The problem with this pod is that the host routinely adopts a hostile and accusatory position against the UK Defence establishment. The best episodes are when the guests don’t take the host’s bait (eg. Frankopan, Reid), while the worst episodes are when the guests reinforce the host’s negative pitch, turning the pod into a mutual rant (eg. Cornish, King).
Apple Podcasts3Henry de GrosmontUnited Kingdom9 months ago - Bore off
Yet another old man whinge-athon. Moan, moan, moan. New series, but same negative pitch. This pod brazenly puts words in the mouths of senior officers/civil servants and then complains about it.
‘School of War’ podcast is a million times better.
