On this week’s episode is housing activist and all-round Leftie, Gordon Maloney. One of the founding members of Living Rent, Gordon has campaigned for a fair and equitable housing market for years, growing Living Rent from a campaign to a red-blooded organisation with thousands of members all over the U.K.Gordon joins me to discuss the future of British politics, The Left, and what fighting the housing battle has taught him about community, organising, and politicking.

Folge vom 22.06.2021What money really meansOn this week’s episode is author, journalist and financial hacker, Brett Scott. Brett’s work centres around analysing and developing new monetary systems (stay tuned for a blistering review of crypto), whilst also campaigning for the bits in ours that aren’t broken (did you know cash is crucial to a democratic society?) Brett’s specialism is phenomenally interesting in a world being devoured by capitalism. It was an honour to pick his brain about money and its impact on society, and I highly recommend you make time for what he has to say. Watch this episode here.

Folge vom 15.06.2021Why Africa needs a free marketThis week I speak with Ugandan entrepreneur, Trinity Heavenz, a former street child who now employs over 25 people, many of whom were living in poverty before working at Era92, the company that “builds brands to build lives”.This is a startling conversation about the benefits of the free market in a nation where people are afforded little opportunity. Trinity makes the case for business in Africa as a tool of empowerment, and says he believes the continent will learn from Western mistakes to come out as a superpower in the decades ahead.Don’t miss it.
