My guest today is British journalist Poppy Coburn, an opinion editor at the Telegraph and also at the Conservative Reader. We spoke about Poppy's investigations into the so-called 'charity industrial complex' and what that tells us about how power really operates in contemporary Britain. We also spoke about the emergence of a new Right wing sensibility among zoomers, and how that will manifest itself long-term in politics.
In the extended part of the episode we spoke about the failure of conservatives to contend with Islamism, and what impact the attack of 7th October is likely to have on British politics.

My guest today is the writer and archeologist Stone Age Herbalist, author of the Grey Goose Chronicles substack, and also the book Berserkers, Cannibals & Shamans: Essays in Dissident Anthropology.
We started with a discussion of the mystery of the paleolithic Venus figurines: protective amulets, matriarchal symbols, pornographic objects? No one knows for certain what they were intended for, but these objects have been the focus of intense interest ever since their discovery in the nineteenth century.
In the extended part of the episode we moved on to an entirely different time and place: contemporary Ghana. Specifically, Ghanaian ideas about witchcraft, and indeed Subsaharan African ideas about witchcraft more generally.

In this bonus episode exclusively for founding members, my husband and I respond to this question from Martin:
“How much do you think skeptics of the sexual revolution ought to stress the importance of personal responsibility, and to what extent should we discriminate between men and women while doing so? When trying to convince my male friends to give up porn, for example, I find that the ‘limbic capitalism’ argument is an amusing diversion, but it’s more persuasive to tell them that they’ve got a responsibility to stop exploiting vulnerable young women, that the shame of what they’re enjoying would be obvious to them if the woman on the screen were someone they cherished and respected and wanted the best for - in other words, by paying them the compliment of regarding them as moral agents capable of making better choices. I feel squeamish about invoking the same principle of personal responsibility when it comes to female participants in the sexual revolution, and victim-blaming is a real and deplorable thing, but I also feel that this squeamishness - which I sense you share - needs a limiting principle. Do you agree? And if so, what do you think it is?”

My guest today is Dr Ben Lewis, a Leverhulme Research Fellow at Leeds University who specialises in German intellectual history. On the podcast we talk about Ben’s book Oswald Spengler and the Politics of Decline - once an influential thinker who is now having a renaissance. We also discuss Spengler’s support for a civilisational cycles model of history as oppose to the progressive model of history and some of Spengler’s predictions for the 20th and 21st century which have been largely vindicated. In the extended version of the episode we look at Spengler's relevance to politics today. You can find extended episodes, bonus episodes and the MMM chat community at louiseperry.substack.com
