The 10 greatest British history questions, with Dominic Sandbrook

In a recent episode with Lord Frost, Will asked him if he was hopeful for the future of the United Kingdom. He acknowledged that it feels doom and gloom in 2024, but that the country has a history of getting itself into difficulties, and then finding the strength to overcome them. It is a great country with great traditions, and we just need to draw on them once again. If the UK is to draw strength from its history, it should talk more about it. There's no one better in the world to have that conversation with than the co-host of the cultural phenomenon that is The Rest Is History podcast, Dominic Sandbrook.

BONUS: Landslide incoming, with Sean Spicer

We are 10 days out from the most important US election of our lifetimes. Of course that's what they always say, but this time it feels like it may just be true. In this special bonus episode, Will chatted to Former White House Press Secretary, and now host of The Sean Spicer Show, Sean Spicer. Sean reflected on the campaign, and gave his prediction for who will win on the 5th of November. And spoiler alert, he thinks he'll win bigly.

Starmer's 100-day report card, with Lord David Frost

The start of a new government sets a tone that is often difficult to change. And the tone of Keir Starmer's first 100 days has been dire, reinforcing a feeling of malaise across the United Kingdom. To help with his first report card, Will is joined by David Frost, a Conservative member of the House of Lords and previously the Europe adviser to Boris Johnson and his Chief Negotiator for Exiting the EU in 2019 and 2020.

The war on the past, with Frank Furedi

There are many things that are depressing about the modern culture wars, but none more so than the war on the past. There is a concerted, fierce and increasingly successful effort to not just make us ashamed of our history, but to disconnect us from it entirely. How did this war start, and more importantly, how can it be won by defenders of Western civilisation? To answer these questions, Will is joined by sociologist, author, and commentator Frank Furedi. Frank's new book is titled, "The War on the Past: Why the West Must Fight for its History." Follow Will Kingston and Fire at Will on social media here [https://linktr.ee/fireatwillpod].

After the Pogrom, with Brendan O'Neill

In some respects, October 7 and the events that have followed is the continuation of a story that is almost as old as time itself. But in many others, the conflict, and the response to it, has been a reflection of our times. Identity politics, the loss of confidence in western civilisation, the ideological capture of our institutions, the corruption of the media, and the self-flagellating instinct to atone for the sins of the past can all be seen in the response to October 7. There has been no one better in the world at analysing this conflict through the prism of our contemporary culture than Brendan O'Neill. His new book is titled, "After the Pogrom: 7 October, Israel, and the Crisis of Western Civilisation." Follow Will Kingston and Fire at Will on social media here [https://linktr.ee/fireatwillpod].

Why I left the UK, with Calvin Robinson

There is a feeling of pessimism in the UK at present, and it seems to be getting worse each day under the Starmer regime. A sense that the country has forgotten who it is. A feeling of helplessness that things are getting worse. And a rage that leaders on both sides of politics just don't seem to care. Calvin Robinson has, sadly, said enough is enough. With a heavy heart the popular priest and broadcaster moved from his home in England to the US earlier this month. In this conversation with Will, he explains why.

Who will save America? - Alex Castellanos

For many voters, the upcoming US election isn't really about the border, or the deficit, or guns, or healthcare, or abortion. As many pundits have now suggested, it's about the vibes. It raises an unsettling question: does policy even matter anymore? Is the spin more important than the substance? There's no one better to answer that question than the Chairman and Co-Founder of Purple Strategies, a bipartisan public affairs firm, Alex Castellanos. Alex is one of the America's best known and most successful media consultants and strategists. He has served as media consultant to seven U.S. Presidential campaigns, and has been credited with the discovery of the "political soccer mum" and called the father of the attack ad.

Turning the tables on Will Kingston

Comic and GB News Host Nick Dixon was on the show a few weeks ago. He returned the favour by inviting Will on his podcast, "The Current Thing," last week. This podcasting pyramid scheme turned out rather well – it was a fun conversation covering the US election, the latest Churchill controversy, and the Starmergeddon facing Britain.
