O’Neill rightly denounces anti-Jewish conspiracy theories, but he is more than happy to traffic in anti-Catholic conspiracy theories, such as the supposed “link” between transgender ideology & Transsubstantiation.

What a crazy interview. You’re conflating insanity with trans

I have just listened to the episode on the book After the Pogrom, so refreshing, so many brilliant points, unequivocal support for Israel, I’m going to listen to it again and probably buy the book too.

Great interview with O’Doherty. A clearer picture of the situation in Ireland would be difficult to find.

Brendan is a hero of free speech and always has interesting guests and the latest is no exception. Love his point of view.

One of your best podcasts yet ✌️Despite the grim outlook of our world this podcast reminds me that we still have some extraordinarily intelligent, courageous and passionate people out there 👍

Just listened to the interview with William Clouston from the SDP and must say I was very impressed. So nice to hear an honest, respectful discussion between an interviewer and the guest without ‘gotcha questions’. Most enlightening.

The interview with Ungar-Sargon has to be the most vigorous and compelling audio I’ve heard in a long time. Incredibly refreshing to hear blunt and articulate arguments from a wide range of thinkers.

Great interview, Gareth comes across as sensible, informed and articulate. I just bought his book and am looking forward to a good read.

On Joe Rogan Experience (4-16-24) you mentioned a highly important/influential article during the Chartist Movement. Please point to its location by way of this podcast. Thank You. You’re one of the few thinkers worth listening to.

Great episode with Lionel Shriver, but please Lionel. Don’t mention when I tried to shame people into getting vaccinated. Don't mention when I got caught up in the mania and turned against my fellow manRead full review »

I’m wondering alongside the status symbol of having a trans identified child, if the bigger monster that isn’t (maybe) talked about as much/widely know / critiqued, is children and adult diagnosis of autism spectrum conditions. Linked to this is the huge amounts of financial incentives (and...Read full review »

Great show and a great guest. Regarding the questions you gave him I would have loved him answering the question on the likelihood that Russia paid millions to many of our MPs to lobby against fracking. As Lord Ridley says it’s almost economic suicide not to frack to reduce our energy bills………

Brendon talks to a horse whilst the rest of spiked consider what the government can do about it.
Fifty123456 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 02/15/24
Intelligent in-depth discussion with interesting guests who aren’t given a voice by other media outlets. Your questions are excellent but for gawd’s sake, please break them up a little! Some of them are so long and contain so many sub-questions and points that the guest (let alone listener) can’t...Read full review »

Crap show - interviews seldom go anywhere interesting - you can hear the same content on many other pods - he really needs to do some research before he talks to people. Nodding along with whiners and conspiracists is not journalism.

A “go-to” Podcast for intelligent, well presented polite deconstruction of all that is wrong with contemporary group-think.

Really enjoyed the episode with Ralph Schoellhammer - not someone I had come across before, but I found myself agreeing with everything that he said, and have now started looking for other content from him. Thank you for broadening my horizon!

I wonder if Brendan O’Neill was bullied at school , ? He seems like a bitter , nasty human being, who I suspect, has very limited real life experience ….
Navy_Girl69 via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 12/09/23
Brendan is a beacon of pure sanity in dark times. No exaggeration. This podcast gives me a shield against crazy. It’s not me, it’s them, and this too shall pass.
ShyTory via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/17/23
A good range of interesting guests but he could get so much more out of them with a different interview style. Which consists of a meandering monologue with a question mark tacked onto the end. He doesn’t challenge his guests enough, even if he agrees with them, which is almost always, he never...Read full review »

Love the podcast and obviously some guest or topics will be preferred over others but please don’t have guests that need to use the above terms in every second or third word … it drives you nuts …. Otherwise brilliant never miss one

Nigel is one of the clearest communicators currently out there, and the message is absolutely frightening. The stasi nature of Banks who align themselves with these values, will end free speech, bring in surveillance of people like never before, and the impact on democracy will be for the worse....Read full review »

Great points raised in the fight against the woke crap but he needs to politely dispute different guests with a wider variety of views. Too much back slapping for me!

Love this show, always interesting. Sometimes bonkers…this week a philosopher who thinks Socialism means holiday leave and that Trump fuelled Brexit !! They can’t always be accurate but Brendan is quality.
Chess whiz via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 06/05/23
O’Neill seizes on populist narratives to twist to his own uses just as the Trotskyist Left used to in the days of the UK’s Revolutionary Communist Party. No, wait, what’s this? He actually started his career at ‘Living Marxism’, the RCP house publication? Hmm, he’s travelled a long way since...Read full review »

Listening to Brendan and his guests restores my faith in this increasingly crazy world. He has such brilliant calm and concise delivery too.

Superb in-depth analysis and overview of the current Scottish government. Thank you - an excellent listen.

I’m sorry Kellie-Jay Keen had to endure the horrors she did at the hands of the Auckland TRANS mob but as suggested in the episode by both Brendan and Kellie-Jay it has added Hags like me to the cause and I feel it’s time I found my voice! I am sorry it’s taken so long but I intend to be heard...Read full review »

Fascinating, and a bit like a relaxing massage. To hear Matthew Goodwin articulate in a historicised way a broader, deeper explanation of some of the key events of the last decade, and, among other things, of the sense of misfit between personal experience and representations of it was like a...Read full review »

Her description of real lockdown impact is superb. I can’t believe there is even a debate over whether she should have released this information, rather than leaving it to the media, politicians, medics, lawyers and civil servants that perpetrated and enabled this farce in the first place. ...Read full review »

While not a dedicated polemicist O’Neil has always hit the major issues of the day with a well researched, concise and often unique view. He has been at the forefront of arguing for the Brexit referendum, for women’s rights, and against ALL government overreach.
Daryl.M via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 02/22/23
I’m a leftie liberal who is becoming concerned by the puritanical finger-wagging and unpersoning that is perpetrated by “my side” and so I’m largely on board with Spiked’s position on free-speech. However, I find it astonishing how the host and guests can rail against evidence-free thinking and...Read full review »

I love the range of guests and Brendon sets a good pace and moves the chat along. I love that it never descends into mutual congratulatory love ups and Brendon keeps everyone on point. I am only sorry it is monthly at the moment. Brilliant, more please.
Admiral Tom via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 01/09/23
This is a very good podcast but could be massively improved if Brendan could find a way to ask his questions succinctly. Many of his “questions” go on and on ….15..20..30 seconds. That said, interesting and never afraid to discuss even the “taboo” topics. I don’t always agree with Brendan but...Read full review »
