“This is a wonderful podcast. The host is knowledgeable and critical, and the guests are also great. It is a jewel. I wonder if you would consider inviting both Andreas Malm and Adam Tooze together to talk about the history of energy.”

“Much needed and timely analysis on current events that goes into the history of matters to have a better understanding of the present! Ps release more free episodes, my only irritation is you paywall too many of your content. But otherwise excellent work, Keep it up!”

“I understand there are what look like coordinated attempts to deter new listeners:
… which only shows just how good this podcast is, and that its values are sound.
I wish I’d found PTO long before I did, but working back through the episodes is well worth it.
The episode on Settler Colonialism...”Read full review »

“If you want your mainstream media fake news slanted a bit left, this is the place for you. Adhering to all of the core editorial biases and outright mistruths of declining UK/EU/US hegemonic elites, this will conform to all your safe liberal left prejudices.”

“I’ve been listening to PTO for over five years now - not quite right from the start but not too far off - and in that time I’ve listened to pretty much every episode, including most of the back catalogue as it existed when I first started listening.
It is a great podcast, probably my favourite...”Read full review »
