Published by Owen Jones
Owen Jones, journalist, author of Chavs and The Establishment , or "that left-wing idiot off the telly", is fed up with the establishment media. After all, it punches down, not up, blames minorities for all the problems in society, and, let's face it, often just parrots the government line. So this podcast is offering something different: speaking truth to power, giving the marginalised a voice, offering hope - and having a laugh along the way. From Michael Sheen to Judith Butler, Prof. Devi Sridhar to Noam Chomsky, Peter Hitchens to Chelsea Manning and Gary Younge to Stewart Lee, the interviewees couldn't be more eclectic. Expect documentaries, too, exposing injustice and going to enemy territory - and discussions with experts on everything from COVID dreams about the pandemic to the history of US-backed coups. We'll learn a lot - but above all else, have our optimism in a better world rebooted. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/the-owen-jones-podcast . Hosted on Acast.

Prof. Jason Arday was hounded to death after a media campaign so intense, so vitriolic, so unrelenting, that it went beyond what you’d expect if he was a Cabinet minister guilty of grave corruption or harm to others. But he wasn’t a Cabinet minister, he was a university professor the vast majority of people had never heard of, and he wasn’t guilty of corruption or harm to others.
