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.

Lord Walney - or John Woodcock to you and me - is the unelected Lord who was appointed by the Tories as a life peer after he endorsed Boris Johnson, and then an 'independent advisor' on political violence. He's now trying to ban Palestine Action, and wants clampdowns on the right to protest, from the Palestinian movement to climate justice. But who is he? His links have been exposed - and it raises damning questions about our democracy. I'm joined by Palestine Action's Huda Ammori. Make sure you...
