  • if y’all want positive change, this is the REAL DEAL!

    Clara Mattei cuts through the fog of economics allowing the bright light of clarity to shine through, as though ‘clarity’ is derived from ‘Clara’ !!

    I suggest you take a look at their speaking style (on yt ‘Channel 4 News’) for a glimpse of the depth of their understanding.

    If you want to support the cause, ask your local library to add the book, ‘Escape Capitalism’ to their collection.

    This is one of the best interviews with a business person. Their social ethos is the reason I used to purchase their ice cream. But since Unilever purchased the company I have ceased to consume any Unilever product.

  • Great interviewer & interesting range of guests

    Just finished listening to Suede’s Brett Anderson being interviewed by the ever-excellent Krishnan Guru-Murthy.

    I never had much knowledge/affinity with his band, but really enjoyed his take on the questions - both about songwriting and where in the world we are these days.

    There’s a lovely diversity to the choice of guests in this podcast series and together they give a positive take on the world and the different voices within it.

    Top banana!
