A welcome start, but...

You started with a star turn, but you cannot use a Skype connection for a quality podcast. Sound was poor. I am sure that with professional help you could have arranged a suitable connection from a studio in Canada.

I should be happy to listen to Toby Young, but there were too many long, earnest leading questions.

So, thank you, more please, but better.

Not what it promises to be

After listening to more episodes i have to go down a few notches. While the audio has definitely improved, the hosts claim to look critically at ideas from left and right.
I do appreciate a critical look at „griecence studies“, however they have some pretty strange guests on environmental issues. This in itself would be no problem, if those guests would have to face critical questions, which they do not. While quilette warns about embracing rightwing nutters out of concern about leftwing identitarian politics, they do definitely seem to go down that rabbit hole.
Get guests from the right side of the spectrum -Yes please- but do ask them critical questions.
