Play Pause

3h ago1:40:53

1:40:53

Send us a text A Christmas show without autopilot or replays—just lived experience and the systems that shape it. We open with a satirical Santa vignette, then drop into a raw conversation about Christmas in the DC jail: the frigid cold, a busted boiler, and the unlikely miracle that came when supporters flooded the phones and forced action. From t…

When Reality Stops Correcting Bad Ideas, Societies Drift And People Pay The Price 2:16:53

19h ago2:16:53

2:16:53

Send us a text Start with a hard moment: Christmas Eve in prison feels like any other day. From there, we pull on threads that keep unspooling—why CPS too often beats context, why business and engineering correct bad ideas while certain departments drift, and how a missing civics education leaves voters fluent in vibes and illiterate in structure. …

Why Persistent Citizens, Not Institutions, Still Hold The Line 2:19:29

2d ago2:19:29

2:19:29

Send us a text A booming GDP headline, a hot price index, and a sober question: who gets to define reality when institutions write the score and audit themselves afterward? We start with the data, then chase the incentives that shape what we’re told to believe—robots walking into restaurants to do dishes, SNAP dollars flowing through corporate bala…

Why Liberty Loses When Security Becomes The Excuse And How We Push Back 1:29:29

3d ago1:29:29

1:29:29

Send us a text A quiet Christmas ritual can tell you a lot about power. We start with a familiar holiday service and follow the thread into a week where conservative leaders spar onstage, media plays referee, and policy choices carry real costs for families trying to live, work, and raise kids. The question that keeps surfacing: when does repetitio…

From Fusion Hype To FBI Doubts: A Candid Rundown; 1:45:03

6d ago1:45:03

1:45:03

Send us a text Sirens, permits, and patience—that’s how we kick off a fast-moving hour where disaster recovery meets red tape and we ask whether safety rules protect people or block them from mending their lives. From there, we step into a tougher question: when surveillance tools go dark in the name of privacy, do we accept more risk after shootin…

When Laws Are Paper And Cops Are Power 1:27:22

7d ago1:27:22

1:27:22

Send us a text Flooded streets, overwhelmed culverts, and aerial footage of whole valleys under water set the tone for a bracing tour through how systems fail when the baseline is already soaked. We walk through Washington’s flooding in detail—what storm ponds at capacity really mean for neighborhoods, why state and national coverage diverge, and h…

Younger Voters Want Action, Not Speeches 1:49:42

8d ago1:49:42

1:49:42

Send us a text A Pacific storm can wash out more than roads. We open with relentless flooding across the Northwest—levees failing, highways buried, and landslides on deck—and ask the bigger question: what happens when physical infrastructure and civic trust erode at the same time? From saturated soil to saturated institutions, the pressure is real …

An American Powerplay and the Freedom of the Press 38:02

8d ago38:02

38:02

On this week’s episode, Peter is poring over the latest US national security strategy and being rather surprised by what he finds there. While Sarah is looking at why some people are calling for a resumption of the cancelled Lord Leveson Inquiry and therefore suggesting we blinker the free press. Plus, our duo on the Arkansas Razorbacks (again), th…

Floods, Lawsuits, And Fentanyl Declared A Weapon Of Mass Destruction 1:38:52

9d ago1:38:52

1:38:52

Send us a text A windstorm knocks out power, highways vanish under floodwater, and looters paddle through neighborhoods in kayaks—then the news cycle pivots to a single incendiary post. We open with the chaos at home and ask a harder question: are we so fixated on words that we miss the deeds reshaping the country? We dig into Trump’s $10B lawsuit …

From Washed-Out Highways To Power Brokers, We Trace How Culture, Policy, And Media Shape Real Lives 1:47:59

11d ago1:47:59

1:47:59

Send us a text A flooded highway, a shaky bridge, and a mislabeled suspect—this week’s headlines weren’t just dramatic, they were revealing. We connect the dots between washed‑out infrastructure in the Pacific Northwest, a terror attack abroad, and a campus shooting that spiraled into a wrongful “person of interest,” and we ask the question that fr…

Why Law And Order, Not Labels And “Experts,” Decide Whether Free People Stay Free 1:45:59

13d ago1:45:59

1:45:59

Send us a text What if the real story isn’t left vs. right, but whether laws mean what they say and whether institutions still serve the people who fund them? We start with a jarring image from Ukraine’s front lines—trees webbed in fiber-optic tether from drones—then follow that thread through American courtrooms, city streets, and the markets that…

If Self-Government Is Real, Why Do The Rich Decide? 1:08:25

15d ago1:08:25

1:08:25

Send us a text A storm outside sets the mood for a bigger tempest: who actually makes the decisions that shape our lives? We start with wonder—a comet spitting colossal jets—then move straight into the machinery of influence, from a small set of global stakeholders to prosecutors who admit they’re venue shopping. The throughline is uncomfortable bu…

Inside Claims Of CIA Pressure, Blackmail, And The Migration Crisis 1:38:25

16d ago1:38:25

1:38:25

Send us a text The week felt engineered to rattle you: soaring costs that don’t match the talking points, a migration wave that local systems can’t absorb, and a parade of headlines that blur the line between policy and theater. We pull those threads tight. First, we start with purpose—yes, even Elon Musk went there—because a country that believes …

Tony Blair Trotskyist and Stop Stupid Smartphones 38:13

15d ago38:13

38:13

On this week’s episode, Peter wonders if it ever matters that Kier Starmer and Tony Blair were once Trotskyists? As well as addressing some recent, stinging criticism from a fellow Mail columnist… And Sarah ruminates on the Australian government’s ban on social media for children, and asks is it enough, or should we just wrestle the smartphones fro…

Why A My Little Pony Superfan As Lone Bomber Doesn’t Add Up 1:39:15

17d ago1:39:15

1:39:15

Send us a text A five-year manhunt ends with a suspect who loves My Little Pony and DoorDash—and a prosecution team tied to heavy-handed confessions. We dig into timelines, gait comparisons, and evidence gaps that make the “lone bomber” narrative wobble, then follow the thread to the gatekeepers who shape outcomes: the DOJ, Inspectors General, and …

Somali Fraud, Pipe Bombs, And Power 1:57:41

18d ago1:57:41

1:57:41

Send us a text What happens when the people paid to guard the gate start picking the lock? We dig into a string of stories that reveal how institutions can fail in plain sight: a DEA official charged in a narco-money scheme, a Minnesota fraud scandal ballooning from millions to billions, and a J6 pipe bomb case reigniting old questions about prosec…

Inside The J6 Pipe Bomb Narrative: Doubts, Media Spin, And What Accountability Should Look Like 1:36:43

20d ago1:36:43

1:36:43

Send us a text Start with the strongest claim: if the facts are airtight, the timeline should be too. We take you inside a charged breakdown of the newly announced arrest tied to the January 6 pipe bomb case and sort what’s known from what’s assumed. From early media framing to neighbor accounts and OSINT breadcrumbs, we wrestle with receipts that …

Loss of Hair, Life and Liberty 31:22

21d ago31:22

31:22

On this week’s episode, Sarah Vine addresses her thinning pate and loss of hair that has plagued her most of her adult life and why she’s now finally decided to cast her wig aside! Meanwhile, Peter looks at the incredible story of Nazanin Zaghari Ratcliffe, the woman held hostage by the same Iranian forces who took his friend prisoner too. Plus, Pe…

An Audience with Vine & Hitchens at St Peter’s College, Oxford 52:04

22d ago52:04

52:04

On this week’s episode, Sarah and Peter travel to St Peter's College, Oxford, where Peter ruminates on an increasingly unlikely peace deal in Ukraine, and Sarah begins by asking why Christmas starts earlier each year before regaling the student audience with tales of Christmas past more woeful that Dickens’ A Christmas Carol. Plus, Peter and Sarah …

Inside Weaponization, Fraud, And A Country On Edge 1:06:47

23d ago1:06:47

1:06:47

Send us a text Start with the receipts, not the rhetoric. A Supreme Court exchange reveals a state investigation launched without a single consumer complaint, and that moment becomes our lens on a bigger pattern: institutions flex power first and explain later. From Arctic Frost fights on Capitol Hill to targeted probes of political and religious g…

Franklin Targets Narco-Terrorists, And Our Sanity Tries To Keep Up 1:38:22

23d ago1:38:22

1:38:22

Send us a text The scroll never stops, but our brains need it to. We dive into a fast-moving stream of claims—Truth Social reposts about Brennan and CIA wrongdoing, Dominion and foreign servers, Venezuela as a narco-terror hub—and hit pause long enough to ask what’s evidenced, what’s assumption, and who benefits if you believe it. Along the way, we…

What If Charity, Not Control, Actually Solved Our Crises? 1:58:44

25d ago1:58:44

1:58:44

Send us a text Prices don’t just “go up.” They’re pushed by policy. We open with silver’s spike and follow the money through 1971, inflation’s quiet tax, and the way savers became the losers without ever changing their habits. That macro story turns personal fast: a nurse with stellar credit can’t afford a starter home at 6.5 percent, while rents r…

Why Politically Correct Narratives Are Collapsing Under Real-World Costs 1:39:37

27d ago1:39:37

1:39:37

Send us a text The air feels different lately, and not just online. We’ve hit a point where policy shocks, media narratives, and street-level realities are colliding fast—immigration surges meet housing shortages, courts dilute policing wins, and foreign entanglements show up as local headaches. We dig into the “tone change” through Trump’s Thanksg…

How Weaponized Virtue, Broken Vetting, And Two Screens Collide In America 1:46:02

28d ago1:46:02

1:46:02

Send us a text A brain‑implanted “spy pigeon” headline shouldn’t connect to a DC shooting, but the bridge is power without restraint. We open with the surreal and move straight into a hard look at how “two screens” drive our national divide: one America sees decisive order, the other sees creeping authoritarianism. Along the way, we unpack the lang…

From DC Shooting To The Mayflower: Gratitude, Risk, And The Roots Of Self‑Government 52:30

29d ago52:30

52:30

Send us a text The night before Thanksgiving should be quiet. Instead, we woke to a grim alert from D.C.: two West Virginia Guardsmen shot while on patrol. That shock shaped our conversation—not to wallow in fear, but to ask what actually holds a country together when uncertainty hits. We walk through what’s known, what’s still unresolved, and how …

Puberty Blockers, Save Our Juries and Tea with the DG 39:48

29d ago39:48

39:48

On this week’s episode, Sarah and Peter are asking why new trials for puberty blocking drugs in children have been announced after a government decided to ban it last year? And they’d really like to know why David Lammy would like to take our juries away from certain cases after once tweeting that the jury was the one of the pillars of our judicial…

What Happens When Work Becomes Optional But Purpose Doesn’t 1:01:38

30d ago1:01:38

1:01:38

Send us a text A cloudy D.C. morning sets the stage for a storm of questions: can AI really automate half of America’s work hours, and what happens to purpose if “optional work” arrives before a safety net for meaning does? We walk through the numbers behind automation risk and the roles most exposed, then collide that with a cooler inflation print…

Who Really Drives The Agenda: Planners, Platforms, And Peasants 1:35:32

1M ago1:35:32

1:35:32

Send us a text Ever notice how policy only feels real when it jams your commute or spikes your rent? We open with Seattle’s bus lane plan and the candid logic behind “side friction”—a deliberate slowing of car traffic framed as safety—then follow the ripple effects from clogged roads to frayed trust. That same pattern plays out online, where X’s co…

From Bot Farms To Ballot Laws: A Hard Look Elections and Influence 1:26:52

1:26:52

Send us a text If you’ve felt like the headlines were screaming while the ground quietly shifted under your feet, this one’s for you. We pull apart the weekend’s loudest claims—then follow the trail into the quieter levers that actually move power: courts, capital, and code. The result isn’t a rage scroll; it’s a roadmap. We start with Trump’s rapi…

Buses Will Be Free 1:24:23

1M ago1:24:23

1:24:23

Send us a text The fuse was already lit before we hit record: explosive posts about sedition, calls for arrests, and a capital city on edge. We stepped back and asked what any of this means for people who still have to budget for groceries, pay the mortgage, and share a street with neighbors who vote differently. That’s our lens: if it doesn’t touc…

Russia Peace Talks, Epstein Files, And Fallout 2:07:23

1M ago2:07:23

2:07:23

Send us a text The news cycle feels loud and aimless—until you connect the threads. We start with quiet reports of a 28‑point Russia–Ukraine peace framework and a very loud Saudi visit in DC, two signals that global pressure may be shifting while domestic cracks widen. From there we dive into a political whiplash moment: the Epstein files bill that…

Piggy, Lady Chatterley’s Lover and the late Leon Trotsky 39:51

1M ago39:51

39:51

On this week’s episode, Peter, once described as ‘godless Trotskyist’ by The Guardian, will be ruminating on the legacy of one Leon Trotsky while Sarah will be asking if it’s ever okay to call someone piggy, no matter if you are the leader of the free world or a so-called alternative comedian with a national newspaper column. Plus, debating Ann Cou…

1:22:15

Send us a text A trillion-dollar promise meets a political powder keg. While the Saudi crown prince visits Washington with headlines about massive investment, Congress lights a fuse under the Epstein files and the Senate sprints toward a searchable public database. We connect the dots others keep separate: how a foreign investment win collides with…

Cheaper Without Insurance? Only In America 1:16:18

1M ago1:16:18

1:16:18

Send us a text A glitchy morning across X and other platforms becomes the spark for a bigger question: who decides what we see and believe? We kick off by unpacking a viral claim about the Department of Education’s furloughs during a shutdown, then test the premise against the quieter, less visible federal roles that never trend but still matter. F…

Local Wins, National Fights, And The Cost Of Corruption 1:29:06

1M ago1:29:06

1:29:06

Send us a text Power concentrates when no one pushes back, and the bill always comes due. We start on the ground with local wins—mayor seats, council shifts, and the myths people believe about what city government can fix—then scale up to the hard truth: incentives at every level reward shortcuts, silence, and spectacle. From a council member alleg…

What Happens When Government Forgets Civics And Families Pay The Price 1:20:40

1M ago1:20:40

1:20:40

Send us a text Forget the weather. The real storm is a slow balkanization that’s reshaping where we live, how we vote, and what we believe government can still fix. We start with people packing up for new political homes, then dig into why basic civics—naming branches, knowing rights, understanding process—matters more than ever. When civics erodes…

From Pipe Bomb Allegations To Epstein Files: Power, Media, And Control 1:32:17

1M ago1:32:17

1:32:17

Send us a text Prices were loud, but power was louder. We opened with a sprint through silver’s surge and Bitcoin’s clean six-figure psychology, then turned hard into a deeper question: what counts as evidence when AI can synthesize logs, repopulate timelines, and manufacture messages that look “real”? If device data tied to the January 6 pipe-bomb…

Cancel Culture and Something Rotten at the BBC 49:56

1M ago49:56

49:56

On this week’s episode, Peter and Sarah ask why crazed ideologies seem to have taken root at the heart of both the BBC and the publishing world as we examine the corporation’s latest missteps and the scandalous case of author Kate Clanchy’s cancellation. Plus, being berated on social media over shots of your bookshelf, trying to take the train to G…

When Healthcare, Elections, And Security Ops Intersect, Who Holds The Line? 1:03:58

1M ago1:03:58

1:03:58

Send us a text A quiet market check turns into a hard pivot: what if the most explosive element of January 6 wasn’t explosive at all? We trace new reporting that uses gait analysis to identify a possible pipe bomber, weigh the odds of a 94% match, and press into the central dilemma—if the devices were real, why was the response so casual; if they w…

How Inflation, Digital Dollars, And Election Trust Collide In America’s Next Chapter 1:47:44

1M ago1:47:44

1:47:44

Send us a text Start with the price of money and the rest comes into focus. We open on Bitcoin and silver not as fanfare, but as a blunt read of inflation’s grip on daily life, then follow the incentives into places headlines won’t: J6 pipe bomb claims and official silence, the odd career moves around Capitol security, and why unresolved investigat…

Pipe Bombs, And Power Shifts 1:33:13

2M ago1:33:13

1:33:13

Send us a text Start with the headline, then pull the thread. We move from alien “thrusters” around the sun to the harder-to-look-at reality of empty downtowns, broken incentives, and a January 6 pipe bomber allegation that puts institutional credibility on trial. The big question isn’t just what happened—it’s who is allowed to define what happened…

1:01:03

Send us a text A single image sets the tone: tilt your view and the same object casts a circle or a square. That’s how today’s ride unfolds as we track a teased Blaze Media revelation on the January 6 pipe bomber—complete with gait analysis, insider reactions, and the claim that the lead suspect sits at the highest levels of government. We connect …

How Blowback, Fake News, And AI Collide To Reshape Power 1:40:26

2M ago1:40:26

1:40:26

Send us a text Start with a plane crash, end with gold overtaking Treasuries, and thread everything with one idea: blowback. We trace how choices in healthcare, media, crime policy, elections, and monetary strategy boomerang back—sometimes years later—with consequences no press release can contain. We dig into a startling case where a listener used…

42:49

On this week’s episode, Peter wants to know if the government really going to strip Andrew of his Falkland campaign medals and, in the light of this week’s attack, Sarah will be asking what kind of security do our transport systems need to make us feel safe? Plus, don’t get them started on parking permit portals, underwired bras, and the awfulness …

From Sausages To Subpoenas: We’re Not In Mayberry 1:41:41

2M ago1:41:41

1:41:41

Send us a text Start with a live scramble and a joke about sausages, then step straight into the kind of story that reshapes trust: a sweeping federal sweep in the Mississippi Delta where 20 current and former officers are accused of taking bribes to protect drug trafficking routes. From there we widen the lens—whistleblowers ignored, prison contra…

From Climate Panic To Pardons: How Influence, Institutions, And Populism Collide 1:59:49

2M ago1:59:49

1:59:49

Send us a text Start with the question no one wants to touch: who profits when fear becomes policy? We kick off with Bill Gates’ pivot from climate alarm to a “balance human welfare” stance and ask what years of doomer rhetoric did to public trust, mental health, and priorities like poverty and disease. From there, we trace the modern power toolkit…

The Hopeless Home Office and A Cosmic Car Crash 40:10

2M ago40:10

40:10

On this week’s episode, Peter will be asking why Britain’s infrastructure is so very awful and why are we concreting over so much over the countryside and then sticking ugly new buildings all over it. While Sarah is dumbfounded by the fact that the Home Office costs £23billion and spends it time blundering from one debacle to another. Plus, Sarah r…

Send us a text Fear sells, but it also blinds. We unpack how “democracy at stake” messaging, lawfare accusations, and cable-news combat have turned politics into a permanent emergency—and what that does to the rule of law, due process, and everyday people caught in the crossfire. We start with New York’s surging mayoral race and the magnetism of bi…

From Prison Grays To Power Plays 1:59:29

We start human and stay human, even as we zoom out to claimed peace deals in Southeast Asia, the fragility of the global order, and why contracts, currency, and sea lanes matter…
