ohmygod can't believe my first comment on this show is a criticism, but Aaron come on!! belittling other people's experience of parenthood is so unnecessary. your experience might be easier than expected but there's no need to be so dismissive/superior.
Long quotes by the presenter are OK on screen when accompanied by graphics but difficult for podcast listeners.
Good to see you back from Galstonbury Michael. Can you direct me to any of your comments regarding the banning of the Corbyn film and the breaking by Guns 'n' Roses of BDS by performing in Tel Aviv?
Just a suggestion re presentation. Ash's intro was very long including many quotes. Could someone else (Aaron?) have read them to introduce a bit of variety for the ears?
Tucker Carlson was the only voice in MSM USA supporting Assange, and looking for a response to Ukraine that isn't mere warmongering.
Re Abbott, stupid to give a nuanced response to an issue that deserves none. Bad faith BS deserves no other response than "Bullshit!" the Right knows This. Why doesn't NM?
