The New Statesman podcast | politics, ideas and interviews

I’m relatively new to podcasts and have started listening to this one since the election was announced. Enjoyable, with presenters who aren’t trying to be personalities or imagining themselves living the West Wing dream. No tiresome effing and blinding either, just interesting discussion with knowledgeable people

Excellent podcast with Nazir Afzal. Its all been about racism and male violence, and nothing abou the three innocent victims. Absolutely shameful.

We can all agree that more quality social homes would be great, but ask they bloke how he intend to fund them. As ever that is the key problem not a lack of people who think it would be nice (even some of those horrible evil Tories would support it if money was easy to come by).

Listening to recent episodes of The New Statesman podcast and The News Agents podcast, the presenters most likely to pour cold water on Kamala Harris’ bid for the US presidency are the old white guys, Marr and Sopel. I hate to think what Campbell and Stewart are making of all of this over on their podcast. I’m an old white guy but I’m enthusiastic and positive about what Kamala Harris brings to the presidential race. Maybe it’s time for these old white male pundits to follow Joe Biden’s example and step aside! And note that I said “step aside” and not “step down.”
