I do love that when Ava asserts her self-confidence she tends to start sounding like a Boosh character: "You should see these eyes. They see everything"
I love how Ed looks like he’s out on a surveillance operation, Ava looks like she’s about to hit the disco and Oli has major 36 hour N64 session in the 90s vibes
long time listener first time caller but the conversation about the podcast being like chatting about politics with friends in the pub is exactly why i listen! it feels v different to other politics channels e.g. novara where the news is described to you as though you don't know about it, and what i appreciate about p*bcast is feeling like i'm in the loop and just hearing pals chat about it instead. love the show and all of you
A bottle of red to the wind but a brilliant demonstration of ambitious, respectful of each other journalists whom want to create original content while also educating us all on politics of the day. As a previously avid talk radio listener, thanks for providing a way for me to consume what is always quite a grim UK political review in a way that is contains honest humour and relatable commentary and mindless escapism which removes me from the stark reality that if some right wing political party becomes the governing power in the UK, we're all going to need a boat to get the hell out of here. I wish you all a great Christmas.
I'm an American and mostly listened to LBC when i first started paying attention to uk politics. Was such a relief to find Politics Joe! Still listen to James O'Brien and Sangita Myska but like you said, sometimes you need to have a layer of, idk the right term but i suppose humanness and of course humor. Plus Politics Joe tends to cover things in a way that others don't and they miss the bits of info that are helpful for when I'm trying to map out similarities and connections between the conservatives and far right in both our countries. Cheers and happy holidays from the States 🇺🇸💙🇬🇧
I’m 73 I’m off to Portugal for 3 months next Wednesday, I really enjoy the podcast and your natural, take another three assembly like Emily Matlis who I adore and the younger guy who was also on News-night, brilliant and two different approaches
Hahaha, the cut at 2:25 to 'back to the ultimate format 2 boys and a girl' only to reveal Ollie and Ava subbed out cracked me up so much. Great podcast guys
This is by far the best politics discussion programme in the UK. Its refreshing to see proper conversations where opinions are intelligently discussed rather than all the adversarial bollocks.
Peak JOE content. Insightful, profound and, above all else, hilariously chaotic. Oli, Ed and Ava may be the three people who've made me laugh more than anybody else. Thank you all for for the gift of the Pubcast (fuck the trademarks, become ungovernable), and here's to another hundred!
Really enjoyed the Sean and Laura segment with Ed chairing. Possible alternative line up going forward. Enjoyed the bulk of the podcasts since inception however as much as may disagree at times
I've been heavily catching up on poljoe after being too busy last month and just watched this glorious mess of an episode over a 3 day stint. For sure my favourite podcast, some complain about the tangents you go down but that's why I love it. It really does capture that "mates at the pub" vibe that Ava talked about. Congrats on 100+ episodes gang Also Oli, nice Mitchell & Webb reference right at the end there, 10/10
Honestly, I love the podcast, but Laura is brilliant. The points she brings up are brilliant, and she also references "Who Cooked Adam Smith's Dinner?: A Story About Women and Economics", a fascinating and eye-opening text as part of my degree in econ. Keep doing a great job, and give Laura a pay rise!!
I really like the point made by Ollie around 1:51:00 - about being able to empathise with the two sides of not just political debate but any debate. Although it can be infuriating when someone has a completely different point of view to yours, you can understand they are presenting their side with as much conviction in their own minds as you are. If you can understand that, then you can listen to what theyre saying (to a point obviously) theres never going to be a utopian world where everyone agrees and its black and white, but it would be a lot better and more agreeable if people were just able to LISTEN. Also the end section of this was pure glorious chaos 😊
I think that the Dugdaddy's take on reparations is quite one-dimensional. Both Slavery and colonisation were extractive by nature. Reparations is not a case of guilt, it's a case of the benefits that we in the UK especially enjoy because of the extractive nature of slavery. The UK economy was built from slavery/colonisation, the wealth created and resources extracted fueled the industrial revolution which has made us a prosperous nation today with high living standards. The now-liberated countries were in turn heavily exploited and underdeveloped, making them poor countries today with low living standards. We in the UK all benefit from this to some extent (even relatives of slaves who live in the UK today), regardless of whether our bloodlines played a hand in it or not. We are rich BECAUSE they are poor, they are poor BECAUSE we are rich.
Interestingly, I think I sort of agree with both Ed and Ava on the Jeremy Corbyn question near the end. It's super interesting to see Ava place a decent chunk of the blame for certain parts of his public image on the way his advisors/team pushed his image, and agree that he was done a disservice in how the project failed to dispel those ideas. That said, I agree with Ed that the left here cannot move forward while we're still fixed on the past. Especially with the state of Labour right now under Starmer, if we're going to rebuild influence and be able to push our ideas again, we need to be looking at how to rebuild the movement in a way that learns from the past. In terms of who is at the front of that, I don't know if anyone is a perfect equivalent (although I'm a big fan of Clive Lewis), but I also think that one of the key failings we need to work on is not tying it so much to one person. Because to a lot of people it was always CORBYNism, which meant that Corbyn's downfall as leader meant the movement went with him. Next time we need to build a movement more focused on ideas and not built on the person at the top, so if we lose again we can regroup much more effectively.
@@NJking Fair enough, but what we did is plant a flag on an individual, which is probably the most volatile thing in politics. That's my point; we can't make the movement reliant on one person like it kind of was with Corbyn.
As a viewer who was joining in on the drinking, I can confirm this was an extremely enjoyable, entertaining, funny and quick 3.5 hours, well done. Obviously a bit late for the questions now, but one thing I've always wondered is whether the 3 of you socialise together outside of work? I go down to London quite regularly, and reckon if I seen the 3 of you together in a pub/club, it would totally freak me the fuck out (in a good way)!!!
Ava, is fantastic. Takes on the establishment, gives them what for esp on Talk TV. Eats the best flavour of snacks. Drinks, smokes, swears. The perfect partner in my opinion.
Ollie and Ava, that was fuc#ing great 😂 Funny, not much politics but we can always rely on you guys to come up with a great podcast. These are so random, honestly, it works great guys. Love the way you kind of ignore the script. I've watched all your stuff right from the start when you asked for our opinions on them and I commented that it was great, so well done for sticking with it. Most of the time I'm painting so these are great in the background entertaining me while I work. Thanks for all your hard work in bringing all these political scumbags to account. Love Politics Joe's podcasts, hate Torys 😂😂😂
FISH. For the length of the show those fish will be okay. But that tank is too small for how big those fish can get. They can last 10 years, the "Fishsician" really shouldn't have sold you those fish in that size tank. They'll be dead in a month.
Im very happy for people to change my mind. It ain't that what I do not like, its when politicians hold no opinion and prepare for both based on which one will benefit them.
I knew Ed was my favorite. The Friday night lights book is awesome. As an american football nerd its one of the best reads about my chosen stupid sport
lol. I’d like to see this unedited. I’d pay for a patreon subscription to get a bonus episode, where it’s unedited. There’s so many bits where it’s just getting juicy and it badly cuts to something completely different.
All politicians have to grasp that when something isn’t working, it needs to take the things that are you keep, you tweak the others, instead of this ridiculous approach of swipe it all aside and start again, inventions and progress has proved that this is folly, building on ideas and practices is the way we move forward!
bowls are a problem because of the refraction of light through the glass, it freaks the lil guys out. also that tank will need to be replaced once those fish get larger cus its gonna be too small for them
On the cod latin fish law: i don’t remember the phease, but Pratchett’s “the truth” ends with mr. Slant citing as a precedent a caee where a man who drowned after being pushed into a river had no tort as he had pockets full of fish when pulled out, and had thus profited from the ordeal.
