Reel Politik Podcast

Jack, Geraint, Yair and special guest Welsh Steffan (@phased_bemused) dust off their podcasting boots for a special episode to celebrate the vanquishing of their greatest nemesis, as Sir Keir Starmer finally announced his resignation yesterday after an ignominious two-year premiership. Naturally, we wish him the worst in his future endeavours.

We promised we'd get a final run of episodes out before the end of 2025...and completely failed to deliver!!! Anyway we are temporarily returning to fulfil our self-imposed commitments, firstly with this episode addressing the hot-button issue everyone is dying to hear our takes on - last year's Oasis reunion tour! With diehard Gallagher enthusiast Jack FR joined once again by resident Oasis correspondent "horse", diehard Wales enthusiast Geraint is forced to act as the voice of reason in contrast to two serious MADFERRIT Oasis heads.

You heard it here first. By the end of 2025 we will be ceasing all operations and bringing the Reel Politik podcast to a close after 9 years in an amicable "conscious decoupling". We intend to drop a few more episodes, then it's over and out. It's been real!
