This is frustrating at the beginning but I think makes some progress by the end.

Thank you for the heads up!
Will definitely listen.
Robert Wintemute also did an excellent interview on (I believe) the Feminist Current podcast a few years back, which was fascinating.

I subscribe to Josh Szeps podcast, Uncomfortable Conversations. He's interesting, although sometimes frustratingly ignorant re the trans issues. His interview with Sall Grover last year was interesting, but he still tends to dso the "Oh the poor oppressed little transwomen" stuff.

This conversation with Professor Wintemute was a step forward. But they both veered very quickly from "Oh yes, women have rights too" (Wintemute is pretty good on this) to gay rights mostly. But the interview allowed Wintemute to land some pretty good information.

His chats with Jesse Singal and Jimmy Carr are great fun - I think he's a typical Australian man who is more comfortable with men than women.

I unfollowed Uncomfortable Conversations after the episode about Alan Jones. I found Josh’s rationalising about sexual harassment reeked of (young, strong) male privilege. That and his failure to see the feminist point of view on trans issues put me off him a bit. It was interesting in this interview to hear him realise the conflict between gay rights and trans rights though. It seemed new to him.

WIll give it a go, glad to hear RW got something through Josh's skull although you don;t surprise me that it was something that deleteriously affects some men, rather than managing to finally bring Josh to the realisation that women are full human beings distinct from all males, however "identified" or modified those males may be.
