  • Quiet Riot - Midnight Mass: One more for the road

    Quiet Riot - Midnight Mass: One more for the road
    Jul 3 2024
    Naomi and Alex right the world's wrongs, in the wee small hours of the morning. We decided that, basically, Nick Clegg is to blame for everything - among several other people, who are also to blame for everything. Also, that, at a time the country needed a broadsheet editorial, Sunak provided a listicle. Also, that conservatism in deep doo-doo. Also that Starmer will probably be a bitter disappointment, unless he is not. And Alex utters the world's most depressing sentence: "The next Conservative leader will be chosen by the same selectorate that looked at Truss and thought she was a good idea."

    This week, Alex Andreou is flying solo in the studio while Naomi Smith checks in from the campaign trail – from lots of campaign trails, in fact.

    Quiet Riot - Fact Check: Nigel Farage on Ukraine and Putin
    Jun 22 2024
    Alex Andreou fact-checks Nigel Farage's claim that he is some sort of oracle that - alone, among politicians - saw the war in Ukraine coming, that he made his complimentary comments on Putin before the annexation of Crimea. All he found was a history of shilling for Russia. Please subscribe to the podcast, like, review and rate us, and share the love on social media – it makes such a difference.

  • Quiet Riot, Episode 5 – A political farce in three acts

    Quiet Riot, Episode 5 – A political farce in three acts
    Jun 20 2024
    This week, Alex Andreou and Naomi Smith are joined by special guests Henry Morris – he of Secret Tory fame and now unleashing a Shakespearean take on the Downing St rabble – and Jim Blagden, Associate Director at More In Common. There's a recap of the General Election so far – just 14 days to go people – and we ask if there's a parallel universe in which Rishi Sunak is leading his party to something other than an abject, miserable meltdown. And we gift you a tantalising taste of Henry's new book, The Tories: A Tragedy. Be amazed at Henry's tribute to Shakespeare, be amused by his acerbic take on the Truss tragedy, and be agog as Alex goes full thesp for a few overwhelming moments. Verily, 'tis a spectacle for the ages that will bring tears to your ears. Plus your favourite features, including The News In Sixty Seconds and the ever-so-slightly-abusive Troll With It.
