  • A great pairing, more please

    Sound quality isn’t always great but appreciate they’re on the move a lot. They both bring excellent and different perspectives with insider info. Would like to hear from them more regularly - maybe 2 shorter check-ins a week instead of 1 long ep that can date quite quickly.

  • Interesting

    Latest podcast was interesting but the sound quality is really bad. One speaker loud, had to turn down volume, one speaker very quiet, had to turn up volume. A real pity, made it hard to listen to. Poor quality production.

    Channel 4 is the equivalent of a respected friend proving to you that your boyfriend is married & that if he’s lying to his wife, then he definitely lying to you. Thank you channel 4!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Could MI6 STOP TRUSTING the CIA under Trump? - Former CIA analyst
Q: Do you think Five Eyes can survive Donald Trump?
Yes, because Five Eyes is a signals intelligence alliance with durable infrastructure and shared systems that would be incredibly hard to unwind, and even with political headwinds, the fundamental framework of cooperation would likely persist, though the nature of the collaboration could evolve over the long term.
Trump’s AI dreams and the rise of ‘END TIMES FASCISM’
Q: What role does regulation play in this discussion?
Regulation is framed as a double-edged sword: necessary for guardrails and protecting public interest, yet opposed by some tech leaders who fear it will curb innovation and wealth accumulation, influencing political alignments and regulatory policy choices.
Trump’s AI dreams and the rise of ‘END TIMES FASCISM’
Q: Why is AI depicted as a central force in this narrative?
AI is portrayed as a force with god-like potential—capable of creating utopia or apocalypse—and as a rallying badge for powerful players to consolidate wealth and influence, which accelerates both regulation debates and mass skepticism about science and governance.
Trump’s AI dreams and the rise of ‘END TIMES FASCISM’
Q: What makes End Times Fascism different from previous fascist movements, according to the guests?
The guests argue that today's fascism emerges in a crisis-driven context with a broader coalition (tech elites, religious narratives, and ethno-nationalist elements), plus unprecedented global interdependence and technological power that can enable apocalyptic visions on a planetary scale.
Does Trump’s party have an ISLAMOPHOBIA problem?
Q: Mobashra, can I just start by asking you, how bad do you think the situation currently is?
Based on my decade of research, the level of open bigotry from elected officials is unprecedented, signaling a systemic and planned political strategy rather than isolated incidents, which endangers Muslim communities and undermines democratic norms.
