  • Patrick Henningsen: BREAKING: Houthis Make Major Gains Around Taizz as Frontline Shifts
    We analyze the massive escalation in Yemen as a Saudi-led coalition launches over 100 airstrikes. Despite the bombardment, Ansar Allah forces continue advancing, striking critical Saudi oil infrastructure and disrupting the Red Sea. We explore the broader geopolitical chessboard, revealing how the US and Israel use Gulf states to fund regional proxy wars. The discussion covers the conflict's spillover into the Horn of Africa, including civil wars in Ethiopia and Sudan. We also examine a potential US symbolic military operation in Oman to control the Strait of Hormuz ahead of upcoming elections, and unpack the sectarian information warfare designed to sustain endless conflicts. Tune in for a detailed breakdown of the shifting power dynamics in the Middle East.

  • Dubai on the Danube (feat. Oscar Brophy)

    We're talking Slovakia, or more specifically Bratislava. Somehow we don't mention that one woman from Katseye who thinks Bratislava is cooler than LA. It might well be. Listen to this episode before deciding.

  • Geoff Norcott's Working Men's Club

    Geoff Norcott examines modern masculinity in this stand-up series for Radio 4, by creating the safe space of a working men’s club so he can speak freely about the problems men are facing and how we might go about fixing them in a way that benefits everyone.

    This week, Geoff looks at men’s reluctance to put on sunscreen. Why not take a simple, basic precaution against the hottest and largest thing in the entire solar system? Vanity? Bravado? Or something else? With the help of his studio audience, Geoff looks at whether this is connected to men’s reluctance to seek medical advice and their habit of dying early.

  • Your Mum

    Laura Smyth speaks to celebrity guests to find out about the mothers who made them.

    This week Laura is joined by comedians Sara Barron and Nish Kumar and boy is it the battle of the big personality mums! We hear all about Sara’s mum’s main character energy and her mantra ‘we’re not like other girls’. We learn about Nish’s mum leading her entire family to England aged just 15, and the mic drop way in which she introduces herself to strangers. And we conclude that maybe it makes total sense for all mothers to be a little bit mad?
