Episode 69 - Gone Legit At TWT (ft. George Eaton, Juliet Jacques & Stephen Smith)

NICE! It's our 69th episode and, to celebrate this momentous occasion, we bring you our exclusive report from The World Transformed, the Labour left's festival of ideas, which took place this year in Liverpool, concurrently with Labour's annual conference. Joining us to chew over the wide range of delicious leftist thought on offer, we have a star-studded line-up to share with our loyal listeners: New Statesman political editor "Red" George Eaton offers his thoughts on wonky questions of policy, his own political/professional journey, the social commentary of Dark Knight Rises, the unfair maligning of Oasis' Be Here Now, and showers some praise on friend of the show Mike Gapes. Our good pal Juliet Jacques - RP regular, host of @Suite_212, and contributor to all sorts of publications, including the new Tribune magazine - gives her appraisal of the highlights festival itinerary and the sad tailspin of British satire. And the Father Jack of the Financial Times, Stephen Smith, explains how politics is finally catching up with the 2008 crisis. In between interviews, a freshly baked Jack and Tom sit on a hotel bed croaking away about absolute bollocks.
