If we were uncool, we'd say it's a podcast about politics, sport and culture at the end of the world. But we're podcasters now.
The LEFT AT HOME podcast is honestly a terrible, derivative idea.
But since you're here, pull up a seat and treat yourself to dramatic reads of all the cool tweets we found for you.
Hosted and produced by Sahir Hussain (@Sahir_HT). John Clifford (@JohnTwoots) is the cat of the show.

Episode 7 - It's Still Not Home - 4/1/23
Bit over-ambitious on the upload schedule for this one, the festive period is traditionally connected with lots of time-consuming bullshit, unfortunately.
Belatedly, the boys talk about the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar. No, not the boring football, we're after murder, bribery, fraud, international conflict, discrimination, money laundering, the European Union AND Brexit, Tony Blair AND the Middle East and much, much more.

Episode 6 - Is Anyone Still Out There? - 17/12/22
The boys have returned to fill the stockings of their last living listeners, if that isn’t too optimistic.
We discuss all (or four of) the year’s big stories:
The passing of the Last Queen of England, struck down in her prime…
The rise of King Henry I of Calabasas, CA
The even more predictable and revolting rise of Rishi Sunak
And the fall (before an eventual second prophesied rise) of the House of Baal

Episode 5 - Men at Work - 19/11/21
Yeah, don’t listen to this one.
The boys are (finally) back, and a lot has happened since… ummm… September? Was that the last episode? Write in and let us know.
We recap like maybe four of the things that have happened in the meantime, with all your favourites in the firing line: we’ve got Wes Streeting, Cara Delevingne, Alec Baldwin, Buzz Lightyear, Chris Pratt, Mulan and many, many more.
John’s a Liberal Democrat.

Episode 4 - Post-Colonial Petite Mort - 03/09/2021
Your boys are back, and back in the habit as we plummet into another Afghanistan discussion, but not before swerving wildly through Kanye, Ronaldo, Gove and Wetherspoons news.
Later, we’re joined by a celebrity guest, who brings some well needed constructive advice for Keir Starmer’s nosediving political project, where we could previously only dismiss, smear and rebuke him.
Because Labour’s problems ultimately lie with us. And now you.

Episode 3 - RIP Geronimo - 20/08/2021
Disclaimer: In today’s episode, we had an unanticipated and lengthy discussion about the situation in Afghanistan and the United States’ 20 year military campaign in the country. While we try and stay light on the particularly gruesome details, it was difficult to avoid. We do hope you are able to listen and that you enjoy the episode, but in case you would rather skirt this section of our conversation, it begins at approx. 35:40 and ends at approx. 55:40 (CW: war, torture, rape).
This week, following one of John’s trademark Clegg-pilled meltdowns, the boys discuss transphobic ghosts, Labour’s assault on South American wildlife and how we’re smarter and cooler than Dominic Raab, and so are you! There’s also a little quiz in store.

Episode 2 - A Question of Sport - 13/08/2021
Did you know that town planning used to be an Olympic sport? As a Lib Dem, John knows a lot of weird facts about town planning.
The boys return, vaxxed and ready to discuss a summer of sport that every one else has already forgotten.
We cover all your favourite sports: pistol duelling, live pigeon shooting, (competitive) plunge for distance, the 3,000 meter steeple chase and association walking.
