Keith and Ryan trace the intellectual history of the modern Left. From the rise of the New Left and the radical movements of the twentieth century to the collapse of Marxism as a serious political alternative after the Cold War, they look at how the Left adapted itself to a new world of globalisation.What remains of the old Left, what replaced it, and how did a movement once defined by opposition to capitalism become so closely intertwined with the institutions of the modern global order?

Keith and Ryan discuss America’s disastrous war with Iran: Israel’s role in the origins of the Purim War, the economic consequences still working their way through energy markets and the wider economy, and the difficult question of how the conflict can actually end.

Keith and Ryan discuss America’s enormous gamble on artificial intelligence. From record AI investment, data centres, and the growing weight of the sector in the US economy to China’s rapidly improving open-source models and the possibility that cheaper systems could erode America’s lead. How reliant has the US economy become on the AI boom? Can China catch up without matching American spending? And what warning signs would suggest the AI bubble is finally beginning to burst?

Keith and Ryan make their long awaited return to discuss the current thing, and tell you why Christopher Nolan's Odyssey is even worse than you thought.

Ryan and Keith reflect on two decades of the manosphere. From early red pill forums and pickup culture to Andrew Tate, self-improvement influencers, black pill fatalism, and the wider online male advice economy. Why did so many young men turn to these spaces? What did the manosphere get right about masculinity and modern feminism? And where did it collapse into grift, resentment, narcissism, and despair?
