This 'More Or Less' is from Sept last year (I'm catching up) but remains very relevant, whereas The Real Story (which is often excellent) is from 2 days ago.

I like to dip in and out of these types of 'Left + Right' podcasts - any other recommendations ?

There's the hugely successful Rest Is Politics, of course, with Campbell & Stewart.

This has recently launched, with my favourite Tory (Warsi) >

And then there's my second favourite Tory (Ruth Davidson) >

Some excellent interviews here - just listened to eps: Infertility, Cuckooland, and 'Beyond Terrifying' 🤯

Top experts and good communicators.

The last ever NOW SHOW ...

The Now Show first aired on BBC Radio 4 in September 1998 and this week sees its last ever episode.

Steve Punt and Hugh Dennis take a look back over the last 25 years, with help from Gemma Arrowsmith and Rory Bremner. They are joined by Glenn Moore (investigating the Beijing Half Marathon scandal) and Harriet Kemsley (on the law firm who accidentally divorced the wrong couple).

These are excellent ... each episode features a subject expert academic/author who basically condenses their audiobook/lecture down to 45 minutes. Sounds dry, but very accessible.

Not your usual sycophantic celeb suck-up, but fast-paced and thoughtful (and bang up to date) ...

Bari Weiss is difficult to classify politically, and I disagree with many of her views, but she is an excellent communicator.

Nice to hear how this song was created (and that Neil Finn still had the original demos).

🗣️ This is excellent!

I thought I was pretty well up on tech, but there were at least 5 WTF moments here for me, as well as several interesting trips down memory lanes ...
