“telling their audience exactly what they want to hear - this magazine is trading off its good name - won’t be able to do that for long”

“…chatter-chatter with the ladies who stress about the climate & ‘popularism’. This is the pod where elitist college educated ladies are allowed too much time around the mic without proper supervision; always so angry and aggressive; always making sweeping statements around ‘climate science’...”Read full review »

“What a terrible decision to discontinue this podcast. One of the very best, and the only one to focus on foreign affairs
Bring it back, soonest”

“I enjoy this podcast immensely. Its guests and topics are timely, and its analysis always probes beneath the surface. Much better than your run-of-the-mill news show.
But here’s a question: the distinguished Noam Chomsky was a guest, and you felt the need to contextualize his interview with a...”Read full review »

“I really like the podcast, well considered and researched, it’s such a shame that one of the hosts (Ido Vock) is so difficult to listen to, he often sounds half asleep, and like he’s lost the will - certainly to podcast. I tend to forward through his sections as his demeanour is too distracting...”Read full review »

“Stars for Emily, Katie, Jeremy and others. Minus one star for Kevin the Teenager and his long, rambling, half-hearted answers. The podcast equivalent of “a face for radio”.”

“Like all current affairs podcasts, it must be a helluva scramble just to get together presenters, contributors, research a subject, and then record something coherent. Add the ever-present possibility that events can immediately consign the show to the dustbin of irrelevance. That said, if an...”Read full review »

“I learn so much from these podcasts which are consistently well presented with excellent guests who are always well qualified to comment on the topics being covered.
This high standard production is consistent with the work of the New Statesman.
Definitely worth a listen.”

“Really great insights into the major events in global affairs. The mix of hosts works really well too, as they all have different specialisms and bring their individual expertise to the big stories of the week. Really strong interviews as well.”

“This show used to be interesting, but following an editorial change the show now seems to largely focus on the USA. The rest of the world looks on while anything that happens in the US gets discussed in forensic detail no matter how little it affects the rest of the world.”

“I call that an informercial, or PR puff piece. How much did these guys give you off the ticket price for "new look" web and print in order to so heavily spray their HR policies all over your journalism. <cringe>

“There are clear sounds of the hosts or one of them eating and drinking while a guest is speaking. It is annoying for listeners to say the least. If you are doing a podcast might as well do it with respect to the listeners.”

“This is a really interesting and incisive take on the major issues in world affairs; it manages to be concise but expansive, detailed without being overwrought. Emily and Jeremy are great hosts whose questions lead to fascinating discussion with a range of equally fascinating guests.
I’m hooked.”
