  • A key Keystone: the race for Pennsylvania
    Oct 4 2024

    Whoever wins Pennsylvania will probably win the presidency: according to The Economist’s forecast model it’s the most likely tipping point state. We’ve travelled to three different areas to assess how the campaign is going, and try to read the electoral tea leaves. Who’s winning in Pennsylvania?


    John Prideaux hosts with Charlotte Howard and Idrees Kahloon.

  • Woke croaks: “peak woke” has passed
    Sep 27 2024

    Over the past decade a form of wokeness arose on the illiberal left, characterised by extreme pessimism about America and its capacity to make progress. Analysis by The Economist of how influential these ideas are today finds that wokeness peaked in 2021-22 and has since receded. Why is America becoming less “woke”?


    John Prideaux hosts with Charlotte Howard and Idrees Kahloon. They’re joined by The Economist’s Ainslie Johnstone and Sacha Nauta, and Professor Musa al-Gharbi of Stony Brook University.

  • Election rejection: fears of a contested result
    Sep 20 2024

    Republicans are already preparing to contest the result if Kamala Harris wins the presidency. American elections demand patience and trust, but with Donald Trump on the ballot those are in short supply. How ugly could this election get? And what will happen if the result is contested?


    John Prideaux hosts with Charlotte Howard and Idrees Kahloon. They’re joined by former Georgia lieutenant governor Geoff Duncan and Congressman Jamie Raskin.


    This episode uses audio from The Laska Archive titled “Kentucky representative Thurston Ballard Morton on investigation election fraud 08 0011”.

Phenomenal Coverage

This is one of the best, most balanced, nuanced views of contemporary American politics and social change out there. Bite sized, well interviewed and researched, not doom and gloom, pretty clear biases. I wish Charlotte, Idris, and the Johns could simply enact a coup on CNN or one of the large networks in the US. It would do wonders to heal our democracy.
