    Trump v California: the Los Angeles protests and the politics of immigration
    Jun 13 2025

    Donald Trump escalated the tension in California when he deployed the National Guard—against Governor Gavin Newsom’s objections—amid protests against immigration raids. Trump had been facing pressure from the right for the slow pace of deportations. The protests in Los Angeles have calmed down, but they’ve spread to other cities.


    John Prideaux hosts with Charlotte Howard and Idrees Kahloon.

    Trailer: Scam Inc
    Jan 24 2025

    A sophisticated, predatory, multi-billion dollar industry is emerging from the shadows. It already rivals the size of the illicit drug trade. And it’s about to get bigger and much more powerful.


    The Economist’s Sue-Lin Wong follows a trail that starts with the collapse of a bank in rural Kansas to uncover a global, underground scam economy built around human trafficking, corruption and money laundering. Can it be stopped?

This is one of the best, most balanced, nuanced views of contemporary American politics and social change out there. Bite sized, well interviewed and researched, not doom and gloom, pretty clear biases. I wish Charlotte, Idris, and the Johns could simply enact a coup on CNN or one of the large networks in the US. It would do wonders to heal our democracy.
