Jon Sopel on Britain, America… and the future of journalism

The Matts spend some quality time with fellow podcaster Jon Sopel … reflecting on the state of Britain as described in his hit book Strangeland. And they tap into his deep Washington insight for a long view of American politics - and just how scared should we be about the prospect of a second Trump presidency. Also - podcasts! Are they the future of journalism? Enjoy! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Q&A: Kamala, Climate, and Compulsory Fun? 👻

This week, Matt Kelly and Matt d'Ancona dive into Kamala Harris's Fox News interview - smart move or not? Plus, why aren't we talking more about the climate crisis?! They also tackle immigration, those cultish Trump/Johnson fans, and the age-old debate: audiobooks vs. real books. Oh, and Matt d'Ancona REALLY hates Halloween. Further reading/watching/listening "The Uninhabitable Earth" by David Wallace-Wells "The True Believer" by Eric Hoffer "Lincoln in the Bardo" by George Saunders "Sonny Boy: A Memoir" by Al Pacino "Don't Look Up" (Netflix film) Hosted on Acast.

To kill or not to kill… is assisted suicide in the UK really a good idea?

As parliament prepares to debate legalising assisted suicide, the Matts argue their respective corners on its desirability. Also - if they think having a German football manager is bad, wait until they find out about the King’s antecedents. The Matts despair at little England’s bottomless capacity for xenophobia when it comes to Germans. Enjoy! Content warning: strong language, references to suicide, depression In the UK, the Samaritans can be contacted on 116 123. In the US, the National Suicide Prevention Hotline is 1-800-273-8255. In Australia, the crisis support service Lifeline is on 13 11 14. Hotlines in other countries can be found here. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Who really controls Britain?

As Keir Starmer enthuses to merchant banks and global conglomerates about opening up Britain for investment … and tearing down regulatory barriers that get in their way … the Matts wonder who actually runs the country? Not least since one of the shiny new investors are the very same people who ransacked Thames Water. And while we are talking about investment, what about the drastic cuts to local government funding that are damaging some of the most vulnerable in society? Also - Alex Salmond … is it too soon to mention the dark side? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

LIVE FROM BERLIN! Germany’s woes and Johnson’s lies

The Matts are in Berlin, discovering all is not well in the powerhouse of Europe. Is the rise of the far right AfD party inevitable? And how is migration warping the political discourse? Also - Boris Johnson’s worst lie yet? Could be. His mendacious outpouring about Trump’s innocence over the insurrection is a signal of a dark ambition; a return to power alongside his mate in the White House. The Matts weigh up the evidence. Warning! Contains impressions. Enjoy! Subscribe to The New European today!: theneweuropean.co.uk/2matts Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

An unbelievable year of horror after October 7… is there any hope?

Sue Gray has been resigned - also known as fired - as Keir Starmer’s chief of staff. Can she be blamed for Labour’s shaky start or is the problem more deeply-rooted? Also - one year after the Hamas atrocities of October 7, and the subsequent carnage in Gaza, the Matts take stock and explore some plausible outcomes of the raging conflict in the Middle East Subscribe to The New European today!: theneweuropean.co.uk/2matts Hosted on Acast.

Q&A: Lucy Letby, Proporational representation and Wernham Hogg

Happy Sunday! Today The Two Matt's hear your questions starting with the case of Lucy Letby. Should her case be scrutinised amidst doubts, despite the distress it may cause? Also, are the progressive press more critical of the left than the right and should Labour back proportional representation? The Matt's wrap things up by trying to work if Sue Gray is Gareth or Tim from 'The Office'. Oh, and what about Morgan McSweeney? And who's Keith? It's all very important.

For anyone wanting to stay up to date with the myriad goings-on and general insanity that is Brexit, this comprehensive weekly podcast will do the job - albeit sometimes in a rather meandering, roundabout (and hilarious) manner. This is the podcast I look forward to most each week: I know that I’ll learn something new, stay up to date on Brexit news, and laugh hard enough that if I’m listening in a public place, people will look at me in a way that clearly conveys they are in the process of assessing my sanity (or lack thereof). I value this podcast enough that I jumped on board their steadyhq without even checking what the exchange rate was. Seriously, why are you still reading this review? Just LISTEN TO THE PODCAST ALREADY. You won’t regret it.

This is one of the few podcasts that I listen to and support financially because they are presenting the European point of view on the uk which I don’t see anywhere else.
