Customer Reviews
Alan is a Labour Legend
Alan is a Labour legend. I could listen to him for hours; this is a great podcast.
Cynical podcast by New Labour hero
This podcast is an extended advert for a bank. The title of the podcast has been formulated to grab your attention. Don’t expect to find any proposals for, say, actually changing the world. Johnson half-heartedly asks some of his interviewees (not all — sometimes he forgets) how they would change the world, and most of them reply that they would not. It is so depressing to be manipulated by a former New Labour hero like this. There are people out there who really want to change the world for the better, who cannot get oxygen because this sort of tat is in the way. I started listening with a stellar opinion of Johnson, but I now see how ordinary he is. And also how conservative. So — thanks, sort of.
Excellent post-Trump Interview
Really enjoyed this one!
