i am so fucking .. angry? depressed? Just so pissed off that the right wing media have such a hold - and/or Trump has our government by the bollocks and has forced this. And the Dems caving too in the USA. Lots we've worked for for so many years going down the populist toilet pan.

@quietriotpod.bsky.social this reminds me of your discussion of the BBC...

"Oh God What now" is up there with the good ones, and I agree Political fix is usually worth a listen- but I do suffer from overwhelm if I listen to too many political podcasts on similar subjects. I tend to then listen to something like "Empire" or "Origin story" for a good change.

Yes.. most of these are on my subscribed feed- but i don't always listen to all episodes. I used to faithfully listen to Electoral Dysfunction, but find it can descend into the "Aren't I clever asking gotcha questions to politicians" Beth Rigby show.

Yes.. I have particularly been captivated by Origin Story's current series on Socialism. The bunker often has tempting episodes too.

WTF? So you can’t be progressive and Christian? Good job Christ himself isn’t alive! Wonder what the pope would think

What are your recommendations? i listen to episodes on lots of podcasts, so agree- but always willing to find out about hidden gems

What a lovely song 🎵

Personally, I blame Nick Ferrari and his cronies (not all LBC, to be frank) in persistently undermining the government and srpreading a climate of distrust.

We need a "love" response button...

Its bonkers! The true crime of social media: people post without reading articles and without any basic checks, just to push their own views. Confession: I occasionally reply in haste, so not 100% innocent.. but then go back and retract in my sober moments. Learning!)

Spot on!! Great analysis and one I largely concur with. Get rid of McSweeney... YES!!
