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.

Prof. Danny Blanchflower is one of Britain's most important economists. Tenured economics professor at Dartmouth College and former member of the Bank of England's Monetary Policy Committee, he backed Keir Starmer in the election - and now has issued a damning indictment.

Even by the standards of the attempt to silence pro-Palestinian voices, this is wild. The University of St. Andrews has stripped the elected Rector, Stella Maris, of her roles - because she spoke out against war crimes. You have to hear this to believe it.
