Could we have a thread of interesting podcasts?

Subpar from the FT. Starts with a close but no cigar summary from Robert Shrimsley, who mentions concerns about single sex spaces, but quickly moves on to trans rights being rolled back, and ultimately concludes that concern about trans rights issues is an import from the US. No evidence of understanding of women's concerns about males in our spaces nor of the silencing of women over this issue.

Not a podcast and might have been posted elsewhere but it's so angry and acerbic it made me laugh out loud so I'm sharing. I used to despise Brendan O'Neill, I don't anymore.

This is delightful! Thank you for sharing.

Not a podcast, but Have I Got News For You didn't cover it at all last night. Cowards.

I stopped watching that show years ago, since they wouldn't cover this issue except very infrequently, as an excuse to mock women.

I watched it to see how the ruling would be covered, one of the biggest news stories of the week totally ignored, cowards !

Waiting to see if The Economist’s The Intelligence catches up next week. Was surprised they didn’t cover Cass, so perhaps they will swerve again.

I am hoping Helen Lewis on Private Eye p94 podcast covers it properly - and educates the men. Blocked and Reported definitely will - just hope it isn't a primo episode as I don't (yet) subscribe. Also the New Stateman podcast with the peerless Hannah Barnes will almost certainly cover it.... next week should be good!

Gave up on the awful TRIP and the news agents a long time ago.

I love the BARPod - I keep wondering whether it's wrth subscribing - it might be if I lived in the US, I think. Anyone here a Primo?

(I also used to work for Stewart and have Views).

ooooo, do tell.

I used to think he was a good MP (I come from round there) and a bearable Tory. But he's sounding increasingly entitled and smug

VioletSpeedwell · 19/04/2025 08:01

Megyn Kelly is pro Trump and anti abortion. I love her stance on trans issues though.

CatDogGuineaPig · 19/04/2025 07:39

I also won't listen to TRIP UK (I also love TRIH) because of their misogynistic coverage of issues in Afghanistan and Iran... The Newsagents was awful because of Goodall who never even mentions women's rights.

The Story from The Times had Helen Joyce being interviewed by Manveen Rana. So clear and coherent. I would make Goodall, Campbell etc etc sit in a room and be forced to listen to it

I don't listen to TRIP anymore. They're misogynists both of them and I was a massive Rory Stewart fan. I used to think I was learning from them, but now I just don't trust them on anything because the one subject I know about and could challenge them on they were absolutely and utterly woeful.

This, they are dreadful and don’t like women talking back at all.

Geoff Norcott’s What Most People Think is interesting. He can be a real git-but he’s generally a thoughtful git. https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/what-most-people-think-with-geoff-norcott/id1453517233?i=1000703987068

@HesSoBadHesGood thank you for the link - I have to say it was quite lovely to hear the praise heaped on FWS and associated Terfs and highly recommend!

I've gone off Blocked and Reported a bit since their early days of covering terminally online people who basicslly went mad with woke in the lockdowns. They re trying to be more respectable now and I find them a bit dismissive of the importance of the issues that trans ideology raises.

Violetparis · 18/04/2025 20:55

'The Daily T' podcast also has one with Helen Joyce, think it's the day before the Trevor Philips one. Have only had a chance to listen to the Trevor Philips one which I really enjoyed. He was so right in calling out how we've been let down by people in power. The Geoff Norcott podcast is good too. Lewis Goodall was very annoying on The News Agents, I used to really like him but he's so smug these days.

CheeseChamp · 18/04/2025 20:47

I will be interested to see how Ed Balls talks about it, they likely will. They will likely talk only in terms of political impact and not personal views to get past the awkwardness that he had a TRA kid. Actually I bet TRIP will approach it in the same way, as if all that matters is how it affects labour, the tories, reform. If anyone is hoping for some self reflection or remorse for their previous attitude or commentary I'm afraid we will all be disappointed.

This was linked to on a different thread and Sir Trevor Phillips was very clear.

The Daily T Podcast. From the video descripion: "Plus, they speak to Sir Trevor Phillips, former chair of the Equality and Human Rights Commission, who helped draft the Equality Act. He calls on the NHS to “stop whining about how difficult it is” and get on with correctly interpreting the law."

I really enjoyed listening to this. Thank you.

CheeseChamp · 18/04/2025 20:43

I'm a TRIP fan (not on this issue, wimps) and the q&a this week was im sure recorded the day before the judgement, it takes a couple of days to come out if you aren't a member. I suspect they won't mention it at all next week. Depends how high it is in the news headlines, they will be hoping it is old news by then. They prefer to talk about macro stuff and 51% of the population apparently isn't that big a deal.

I did it (listened to the latest trip).
Not mentioned.
I know it was a q and a episode, but I find it hard to believe that no one asked.

To give them the benefit of the doubt, I suppose it depends when it’s recorded. And I assume they choose the questions a little while before recording to give them time to research any answers. If it came out Thursday morning, there might not have been enough time.

Trevor Phillips was excellent - as he always has been - thanks for sharing this - it's well worth listening to

Winterwonders24 · 18/04/2025 19:08

Kind of predictable from what people have sad: on that line, I'd want to try Private Eye but know I'll be disappointed again

Sausagenbacon · 18/04/2025 18:57

I see that a new episode of trip is out. Would anyone like to be the canary in the mine and listen? I can't face it.
