#89 Why EVERY 20 Year Old Should Be A Feminist - Tilly Middlehurst (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Tilly Middlehurst, feminist writer and commentator, joins me to make the case for feminism to an audience of mostly young men, and I push back throughout. We get into whether feminism is really behind the falling birth rate, how much of the difference between men and women is biology versus culture, the "labubu male" and why men rise or fall to what women want, family courts, domestic violence and the male victims left out of the conversation, immigration and remigration, and where the gender pa
#88 I Gave a Christian One Hour to Convince Me Of God's Existence (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Justin Brierley - author of The Surprising Rebirth of Belief in God - joins me to make the case for faith, and I push back as a non-believer throughout.We get into why Gen Z is unexpectedly turning back to religion, whether a purely scientific story of reality is enough to live by, the problem of grounding morality without God, the "God-shaped hole" people try to fill with politics and ideology, and why Justin thinks Christianity is uniquely falsifiable. I came in unconvinced. Here's how the hou
#87 Dating Expert: Why Gen Z Can't Fall In Love (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Monica Wadwa - dating and relationship expert - joins me to unpack why so many of us struggle to love and be loved. We get into the loneliness epidemic hitting Gen Z, what love actually is versus what we've been sold, why your childhood wounds quietly pick your partner, whether "butterflies" are attraction or just an activated nervous system, and how much of modern dating is really about self-worth we never built. I hope you enjoy. My Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vanshdesx Monica's Insta
#86 Tax the Rich: Stress-Testing the Argument - Louisa Munch (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Louisa Toxværd Munch - critical theorist and lecturer - joins me to make the strongest possible case for the left, and I push back throughout. We cover wealth taxes and whether the millionaire exodus argument holds up, what universities are actually for, her PhD subject of neoliberal nostalgia and how both the right and left weaponise the past, and a long, tense exchange on immigration, integration, British values, and whether misogyny should be treated as a racial issue. Neither of us conceded
#85 Passion, Love, Death, and Meaning - Noah East (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Noah East, co-host from Northstar Politics, joins me for a wide-ranging, deeply philosophical conversation about how we live, love, and find meaning. We get into why "honour killed the samurai, not the sword," whether there's really an authentic self to discover, why you build your passion rather than find it, love as mud, blood and fire, and what it means to treat politics as a contact sport. Two thinkers, one long conversation. Hope you enjoy. My Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vanshdesx
