Left at Home

Sahir Hussain

If we were uncool, we'd say it's a podcast about politics, sport and culture at the end of the world. But we're podcasters now. The LEFT AT HOME podcast is honestly a terrible, derivative idea. But since you're here, pull up a seat and treat yourself to dramatic reads of all the cool tweets we found for you. Hosted and produced by Sahir Hussain (@Sahir_HT). John Clifford (@JohnTwoots) is the cat of the show.

    Episode 3 - RIP Geronimo - 20/08/2021

    Disclaimer: In today’s episode, we had an unanticipated and lengthy discussion about the situation in Afghanistan and the United States’ 20 year military campaign in the country. While we try and stay light on the particularly gruesome details, it was difficult to avoid. We do hope you are able to listen and that you enjoy the episode, but in case you would rather skirt this section of our conversation, it begins at approx. 35:40 and ends at approx. 55:40 (CW: war, torture, rape).  This week, following one of John’s trademark Clegg-pilled meltdowns, the boys discuss transphobic ghosts, Labour’s assault on South American wildlife and how we’re smarter and cooler than Dominic Raab, and so are you! There’s also a little quiz in store.  Some resources for supporting trans led organisations, groups and actions: https://transrightsuk.carrd.co/ Andrew Quilty’s piece in The Intercept last year, describing some of the US’s covert, CIA-led death squad operations in Afghanistan in the late phase of the war: https://theintercept.com/2020/12/18/afghanistan-cia-militia-01-strike-force/ Sahir’s Alpaca Corner:  Geronimo, striking a pose: https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/976/cpsprodpb/450D/production/_119877671_hi069295453.jpg The eyes do still sparkle: https://images.theconversation.com/files/416321/original/file-20210816-27-wfasje.jpg?ixlib=rb-1.1.0&rect=0%2C0%2C2995%2C1998&q=45&auto=format&w=926&fit=clip Offering a rare smile in these dark times: https://i.guim.co.uk/img/media/cf48672926597741d3227ca04208568fddc00dd8/0_100_3000_1800/master/3000.jpg?width=445&quality=45&auto=format&fit=max&dpr=2&s=d54c3f5749498c239404fd675758eed9  LEFT AT HOME is Sahir Hussain (@Sahir_HT) and John Clifford (@JohnTwoots).
