Owen Jones, journalist, author of Chavs and The Establishment, or "that left-wing idiot off the telly", is fed up with the establishment media. After all, it punches down, not up, blames minorities for all the problems in society, and, let's face it, often just parrots the government line. So this podcast is offering something different: speaking truth to power, giving the marginalised a voice, offering hope - and having a laugh along the way. From Michael Sheen to Judith Butler, Prof. Devi Sridhar to Noam Chomsky, Peter Hitchens to Chelsea Manning and Gary Younge to Stewart Lee, the interviewees couldn't be more eclectic. Expect documentaries, too, exposing injustice and going to enemy territory - and discussions with experts on everything from COVID dreams about the pandemic to the history of US-backed coups. We'll learn a lot - but above all else, have our optimism in a better world rebooted.

Customer Reviews
Bearing Witness to Mass Murder
Owen Jones shows a mirror to Western moral bankruptcy and hypocrisy .One of only a handful of commentators I’ll ever be able to watch again if and when this horrific destruction of Palestine and its people comes to an end.
Informative. Measured. Independent journalism
Fantastic questioning, interrogation, analysis. Great guests. Highly recommend
Hit and Miss
Every show just ends up with Owen dropping into the same left wing tropes he accuses others of. The Cass episode was embarrassing in the face that it was not Hilary Cass role to stand up or argue against trans people it was an objective study. It was never going to affirm Owen’s view and as such he becomes a parody of himself.
