• What The F*** Is Going On?! | Mark Steel
    Feb 20 2026

    Why do we need a ‘coalition of kindness’ in the UK? What are the key reasons that people are still tribally voting for Labour despite being politically abandoned? Are most people voting for their respective political parties from a place of good will for everyone or purely out of selfishness?


    Zack Polanski speaks to author, activist and comedian, Mark Steel.

  • Why The Rich Get Richer | Faiza Shaheen | Zack Polanski
    Feb 18 2026

    How can we reimagine wealth taxes so that they’re less a politics of envy and more about just not paying wealthy people to become more wealthy? Why do we accept student loans as a tax on graduates whilst paying huge amounts of interest to asset holders? Where does tax avoidance, the far right and inequality intersect?


    Zack Polanski speaks to Faiza Shaheen, economist and director of Tax Justice UK.

  • Why The Left Can’t Agree On Everything | Zack Polanski | Kieran Andrieu
    Jan 29 2026

    Should the UK retain diplomatic ties with countries, even if those relations exist purely to place sanctions? What are the first steps to take in approaching any form of international agreement? Are progressives purely factional by nature or can there be a more socialist, democratic future that provides everyone with a voice?

  • Why The System Just Isn’t Working | Nadia Sawalha | Mark Adderley | Zack Polanski
    Jan 21 2026

    What are the vested interests that keep politicians trying to convince us everything is fine, even when we know it’s not? How did the sixth largest economy in the world slip into such a resource scarcity mindset? What were the tactics that allowed us to be convinced it was those who had less than us in society who were responsible for the growing levels of inequality rather than those with unfathomable levels of wealth?


    Zack Polanski chats to Nadia Sawalha and Mark Adderley, the couple going against the establishment to shine a light on injustice.
