Great BUT why so reductive on defund the police?

“I listen weekly and generally love this podcast but I was drawn to write this review because of the ‘Refund the Police’ episode. John Prideaux’s characterisation of the Defund the Police movement is uncharacteristically reductive and dumb. In the last few minutes he finally acknowledges that the core argument of the Defund the Police movement: that we should redirect police funding to other services (mental health emergency services being an obvious choice). America is a country that - vs other countries - is extremely heavily armed, allocates a huge chunk of its public funding to policing and offers a threadbare social safety net. With that context, Defund the Police seems very logical (albeit near impossible to achieve politically). I hope next episode returns to the thoughtful balance that I enjoy.”

“Charlotte Howard’s bigoted comments regarding High School prepared Americans—over 60% of the population—renders this podcast undeserving of your time. At least until she apologises for her comments, which she has, thus far, failed to do.”

“For work I need to keep abreast of US politics and stories. This is indispensable as a guide to all things American and has a brilliant Economist slant. I listen religiously. I cannot wait for the election to unfold.”

“Top rate stuff from the entire cast. The pre-COVID-19 coverage was encapsulating and insightful, while the transition into virus coverage has been seamless and informative. I subscribed to the print edition because of this podcast and get a double-dose of quality content. Well done all around!”
