Owen Jones, journalist, author of Chavs and The Establishment, or "that left-wing idiot off the telly", is fed up with the establishment media. After all, it punches down, not up, blames minorities for all the problems in society, and, let's face it, often just parrots the government line. So this podcast is offering something different: speaking truth to power, giving the marginalised a voice, offering hope - and having a laugh along the way. From Michael Sheen to Judith Butler, Prof. Devi Sridhar to Noam Chomsky, Peter Hitchens to Chelsea Manning and Gary Younge to Stewart Lee, the interviewees couldn't be more eclectic. Expect documentaries, too, exposing injustice and going to enemy territory - and discussions with experts on everything from COVID dreams about the pandemic to the history of US-backed coups. We'll learn a lot - but above all else, have our optimism in a better world rebooted.

He went from working-class east Londoner to Citibank's most profitable trader. He made his millions by predicting that inequality dooms our economic model. We discuss his bestselling new book - The Trading Game: A Confession - and why our economic model dooms us to falling living standards, and unless we can get our act together, fascism will triumph.

Jamie Driscoll should be Labour's dream candidate. He won his election for the North of Tyne Mayor, and was a hugely successful and popular leader. Then Keir Starmer's machine blocked him from standing as Mayor of the North East - why? Because he stands for a real alternative. I had a chat with Jamie - who is being backed by new campaign group We Deserve Better - about leaving Labour, won't it just let the Tories win, about whether Starmer will be better in power - and if a genuine alternative c...
