How Likely Is Another Civil War?

Five thirty eight
This is very good, from the perspective of a middle-aged college-educated white English male living in Rome, Italy. I like the sense of intelligent informed people trying to think. One small grumble - it would be great if Mr Silver could resist using ‘like’ and ‘you now’ quite so often. Just pause -
silence is fine.
Many thanks, MS
Where’s Clare
This podcast was a particular favourite of mine but I’ve only listened to it a couple of times since Clare Malone stopped contributing and it’s gone downhill. Why is Clare no longer in the team? She gave the best analyses and her comments were spot on. Bring her back please because I’m not going to listen anymore until you do!
Missing Clare
This used to be one of my go to political podcast, and last week they fired the best part of it, Clare Malone, she was incredible and the voice of reason. This killed the podcast. Not listening anymore.
