This is by far my favorite weekly podcast. I’m an American and I love to hear the global/international perspective on events happening in my country. This show has also become one of my main sources of information for international news. I’m a history teacher and have even used world events and historical topics discussed on this show in my own lessons- things I never would’ve thought to teach or focus on before. Only complaint- Alastair should learn to love American football!

BORING!!!!! Please PLEASE!!!!! Get some new talking points about the orange man.

SOS

this show was pitched to me by a family member who claimed it was balanced, and had good debate. It’s not that at all - it’s 2 out of touch left wing guys who are obsessed with American politics and particularly Trump/vance/Musk. (Massive fan boys- if there was a fan club for hating them.) It’s easy to get ratings off bashing people…. So I get it - but that doesn’t take any intelligence, just anger. Regarding content: They are basically just parroting left wing news sources and media, Nothing creative from two men who agree with each other on everything, and aren’t curious or interested in learning. Try “the all in podcast if you want some actual debate and deeper insight into the other side of American politics that’s not just repeated directly from another media source - filtered by some narrow focused guys who are partially informed, and biased. If you’re interested in being challenged in your education or worldview in politics - this isn’t the best source.
