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.

Could France Fall To Far Right? - w/. Cole Stangler
President Macron's decision to call elections seems suicidal: the far right could form the next French government. But has the left got its act together - or is it all too late, and what about a vicious media smear campaign against them?
Joined by the brilliant journalist Cole Stangler, author of Paris Isn't Dead (https://saqibooks.com/books/the-westbourne-press/paris-isnt-dead-yet/), and articles in outlets such as the New York Times (https://www.nytimes.com/2024/06/13/opinion/macron-france-elections.html).
