“You’re getting a 4-star review to balance Rory’s sexism (3-stars) with Alastair’s feminism (5-stars).
The latest was Rory’s reaction to Rachel Reeves’s Mais lecture. Why does Rishi Sunak’s simplistic party conference speech with its decidedly small-bore goals get Rory’s respect while RR’s nuanced speech does not? Why, when he does such a great job of providing context on the podcast, does Rory object to RR’s contextualizing her proposals?
I had resisted complaints about the podcast’s being sexist but, starting with Rory’s comments about Elizabeth Rubin, now it seems I cannot unsee the sexism.
Why write a review? Because I really get a lot from your podcasts and am hoping that you can cure this problem. Alastair, can you do a little mentoring behind the scenes?! And Rory, please move past feeling defensive, to take this opportunity to walk 6,000 miles in a woman’s shoes.”

“Rory Stewart says Boris Johnson is a ‘terrible human being’, then goes onto say he’s not about Boris bashing. Alistair Campbell delivers his usual low blows. It may appeal to the James O’Brien audience, but not to those with a serious interest in politics.”
