What listeners will find here
Social care, celebrity feuds, and a scam targeting indie authors
Social care leads this episode as Andy, Helen and Adam dig into Labour’s big pitch on a decades-old policy problem. They also get into the latest Piers Morgan and Earl Spencer clash, plus scammers preying on self-published authors.
Reform UK money, AI doom odds, and Men in Black at the ports
Reform UK’s new financial backer anchors a wide-ranging chat with Richard Brooks. The episode also weighs a 10% chance of AI ending the world and turns to the arrival of Men in Black-style figures at British ports.
Green Party jabs, Trump gossip, and the BBC after Amol Rajan
The episode ranges from the Green Party’s latest appearance in Private Eye to Donald Trump’s “completely professional” relationship with an attractive young aide and the BBC’s future without Amol Rajan. It looks like a brisk, satirical mix of media, politics, and personality-driven commentary.
A lively summer book club on journalism, writing, and the stories behind the stories
Journalism and writing take center stage as Ian, Helen, Adam and Andy swap their favorite books on the craft and culture of reporting. The conversation ranges from classic newsroom satire to reportage on Rwanda, popular press history, language, and even Elton John.
Neo-Nazis, AI data centres, and Jason Arday in one summer special
This episode takes on the Conservatives’ new policy on convicted Neo-Nazis, the growing power and water demands of AI data centres, and the extraordinary story of Professor Jason Arday. It looks like a mix of sharp politics, tech pressure points, and a striking personal story.
