    The Cruel Ruler – Is Stephen Miller the most powerful man in America?

    Stephen Miller’s fascistic eulogy at the Charlie Kirk memorial rally shocked the world with its apocalyptic imagery. This cold, rage-driven and deliberately vicious right-wing operative is more than Trump’s deputy chief of staff. He’s the driving force behind the Administration’s most extreme moves, from mass disappearances to troops on the street to the clampdown on the wrong sort of free speech. Nikki McCann Ramírez of the American Friction podcast and Rolling Stone joins Andrew Harrison to explore the origins of the man they’re calling “America’s real President” and his nightmare vision for the country’s future. • Follow American Friction https://linktr.ee/americanfriction for the best analysis of US politics, twice a week. • Support us on Patreon for early episodes and more https://www.patreon.com/bunkercast . • We are sponsored by Indeed.

  2. Are Farage’s polling numbers too good to ignore?

    Are Farage’s polling numbers too good to ignore?

    If you look at the most recent polling data: Nigel Farage is on the rise, Keir Starmer is stumbling and the Conservatives are fading into irrelevance. Should we be worried? Today on The Bunker, Gavin Esler is joined by Ben Walker, senior data journalist at The New Statesman and founder of Britain Elects, to crunch the numbers and ask what’s next for British politics?

    From Trump to Reform – Inside the right wing’s war on free speech

    Political leaders are rewriting the rules of public debate and the media is in the firing line. This week, Jimmy Kimmel was briefly suspended after making seemingly innocuous remarks following Charlie Kirk’s death, only to be swiftly reinstated. Meanwhile, Donald Trump isn’t just undermining the press: he’s destabilising the very institutions and principles of journalism in the process. Today on The Bunker, Alex von Tunzelmann speaks to Dr Ayala Panievsky, author of The New Censorship, about how the war on the media became one of the defining battles of our age. • We are sponsored by Indeed.

    Conspiracy theories, GB News and Britain's far right – with Dr. Matthew Sweet

    In recent weeks we’ve seen right wing protestors and their figureheads take to the streets – often touting conspiracy theories with no basis in fact.  Increasingly these narratives are tipping into the mainstream, with GB News presenters key culprits in spreading this peculiar and damaging way of thinking. How did we get here? And is there any turning back? Writer and broadcaster Dr Matthew Sweet joins Alison Phillips to discuss. • We are sponsored by Indeed.

  6. Scare BnB – Why Fawlty Towers is still THE perfect British comedy

    Scare BnB – Why Fawlty Towers is still THE perfect British comedy

    On 19 September 1975, the nightmare story of a maniac who should never have been running a hotel, his tyrannical wife, their hapless Spanish waiter and a stream of eccentric guests made its debut on BBC2. Fifty years later Fawlty Towers still captures middle Britain at its most hilariously uptight – and Basil Fawlty has never been bettered as an Englishman on the verge of nervous breakdown. Comedy writer Jason Hazeley joins Andrew Harrison to explore the majesty of “Fatty Towels”… ponder whether John Cleese has actually turned into Basil… and ask why the show’s legend lasted so long.

  7. System Failure – Is AI going to drive us all insane?

    System Failure – Is AI going to drive us all insane?

    AI promised helpful assistants. Instead, some users find “friends,” therapists, even lovers. But when bots reflect our thoughts back at us, paranoia, mania and worse can follow. Today on The Bunker, Alex von Tunzelmann speaks to Dr. Kate Devlin, Professor of Artificial Intelligence and Society at King's College London and Chair-Director of the Digital Futures Institute, to look at the risks that come when chatbots blur the line between fact and fiction.  • We are sponsored by Indeed.

    Will China lead a 'New World Order'?

    China is challenging decades of US global dominance. With Xi Jinping forging alliances, launching international initiatives, and pushing for superpower status, is Beijing prepared to lead the world? Today on The Bunker, Gavin Esler speaks to Professor Steve Tsang, director of SOAS’s China Institute, on China’s ambitions, America’s unpredictability, and what it means for the future of the global order. • We are sponsored by Indeed.
