- How to Lose a War in 10 Ways
The gang plus special guest, Behind The Lines' Arthur Snell, dive into a US-Iran war that seems to be fought in reverse - from military action, backwards to economic sanctions, in order to try and get back to the treaty the US had with Iran before all this started.
Also, is Canada about to call Trump's tariff bluff? And how will that impact the midterm elections, polling for which is pointing to a Republican wipe-out?
Plus, Alex, Naomi and Kenny dip into the postbag and read some of your better - or battier - suggestions to improve your local area.

1 hr - Sunday School: Like Prats in A Sack
***SPONSOR US AT KO-FI.COM/QUIETRIOTPOD***
Join Alex and Naomi as they look at Reform UK's back-of-a-beer-mat welfare policies and the implosion of internal civil war they became the fuse to. Are Zia Yusuf's days in the party's leadership numbered?
They also discuss the latest small boat crossings numbers and whether they represent real progress.
Plus what are the small things that goverment could fix quickly, cheaply, and easily and people will notice? Is Andy Burnham on to something with his fly-tipping cleanup?

1 hr 6 min - B-Side: The Last Housing on The Left
Housing has been in a state of crisis, it seems, forever. Can Labour actually move the dial on this huge and complicated challenge?
Alex, Naomi and Kenny are joined by Labour and Co-op MP for the Cities of London and Westminster, Rachel Blake.
Rachel is the ideal guest to help shine some light on the issue of housing – she is a candidate to chair the Housing, Communities and Local Government Select Committee, whose job is to hold the Government's feet to the fire on this very issue.
Plus, a perennial story to make you smile. Tune in to fond out more.

52 min - A tragedy, in black & white
The profound fallout from of Professor Jason Arday’s untimely death continues to ripple outwards and shine a spotlight on some deeply unpleasant truths.
Naomi, Alex and Kenny look at what lessons we can learn, and try to separate truth from punishment, and legitimate inquiry from weaponised agenda.
They are joined by Labour and Co-op MP for the Cities of London and Westminster, the wonderful Rachel Blake.
Proceeds from advertising on this show will be donated to the Society of Black Academics, which was created to drive inclusive change in higher education.
You can watch the full Channel 4 interview with Jason Arday in September 2023 here.

55 min - Sunday School: Pier and Loathing
Join Alex and Kenny as they paddle through Farage's coastal Clacton claptrap, and try to make sense of what actually happened on a night when an intergalactic waste receptacle went up against the far right.
They also look at Government plans to reform zero-hour contracts – these affect over a million workers and countless businesses too, so they are important as well as controversial.
Plus a fond farewell to Trump press supremo Karoline Leavitt. We might not like what she said but boy could she fight her corner.

1 hr 6 min - B-Side: Penal Enlargement or Correctile Dysfunction?
It's that time of the year when Britain throws its hands in the air over the prisons system. Newsflash: it is still creaking at the seams, just like it has been creaking for many years now.
Naomi, Alex and Kenny take a deep dive into prison capacity, probation service pressure and rehabilitation shortcomings – and, of course, the politics behind what's going on.
Plus a brief look at the latest Trump games – literally – from the US of A, in our latest instalment of God! Less America!

1 hr - No Drought About It
If you're reading this south of Hull, then you're in a drought. Elsewhere, it's probably hot. If you're in the Highlands, take your chances.
We're running out of water and that in turn means our food supplies are coming under pressure. So Alex, Naomi and Kenny dip their collective toes tentatively in the pool marked 'Danger: Politics of climate change' to ask how we should (and can) respond.
If you are triggered by GM crops, veganism or struggling farmers, the usual warning to listen carefully...
Plus some actual good news from nature in a feathery Grin And Share It.

1 hr 4 min - Sunday School: The Thetford strifes
East Anglia's right-leaning politics are on show again with this week's immigrant baiting in Thetford.
Naomi and Kenny have a look at the latest disturbing developments from Norfolk, including a couple of telling by-elections.
Then they nip across the Atlantic to marvel at Trump's latest move in his war on renewable energy (and remind themselves of the pivotal role Scotland played in all of this).
Plus, do you prefer your drink vertical? If you a) know what this means and b) drink in Soho, this bit is for you...

1 hr - B-Side: Rabat Punch
In a matter of days, Ceuta went from being a place few had heard of, and fewer still could find on a map, to the centre of Europe's migrant debate.
Naomi, Alex and Kenny are joined by former diplomat Arthur Snell to work out what was going on behind the scenes, as media around the world pumped out endless imagery of crowds of Moroccans apparently heading for Europe (spoiler: it didn't really play out that way).
There is a LOT to unpick, from the involvement of Russia to the naivety of politicians and the unwillingness of media to even scratch beneath the surface of this story as it was developing.
Plus, we'll have one or two treats from the cupboard where we keep Wokey Dokey, Old News, God! Less America, and Grin And Share It...

1 hr 1 min - World of Warcraft
Transfer windows are closing, new stars are being brought in and the world of geopolitics is primed for a new season.
Alex, Naomi and Kenny are joined by geopolitics pundit (sorry) extraordinaire Arthur Snell to talk Palestine, Iran and Ukraine.
What on earth is going on and why on earth is it going on? Not surprisingly, we're covering a lot of ground today...
Plus, will it be Wokey Dokey, Old News or Grin And Share It? You'll have to tune in to find out!
