This podcast has extremely informative, gives the detail on pertinent issues whilst also being emotionally intelligent. How it does this while maintaining its objectivity, im not quite sure but it does. I absolutely love this pod. So well rounded, so emotive, so informative and so human.

The guardian has done some incredible work breaking crucial stories, but it’s bread and butter isn’t news, it’s propaganda. Luckily this podcast is less flagrantly so than the website, but only by a pinch. They propagate a victim narrative that is spewed our to millions of people daily and devastates their lives. Their business model depends on it - victimhood is very addictive.
