    Alexei and Talal, wiped out from dancing all afternoon, sit back and chat the breeze in this special, lounge edition of the podcast. No frills, no bells OR whistles. Just two tired men yamming on about billionaires, Thom York, Pier Morgan and making a deal with The Devil.

I’d never give anything but 5 stars as I love the podcast and all things Alexei, but…

The episode on Rojava totally rocked my political world. I like many had never heard of it before so must thank you for bringing it onto my horizons. I went off and read loads about the place, people and principles and, went on about it to all my friends and family until they too became fascinated. As a result I finally left the Labour Party (I am a disillusioned Corbyn supporter so it only needed a push) and joined the Greens in order to stay politically active, meanwhile continuing to read about forms of anarchism. I would love to have heard more discussion on it from other listeners as it seemed to be a real spark that Alexei himself appeared to be excited by. In Sugarfoot it was almost as if he was deliberately trying to avoid the topic, of course with humour, but by the end it felt like that exciting little spark of hope for humanity was allowed to dim. Was it just me and a girl in New Zealand who found the Rojava episode so inspiring? Please Sir, can I have some more?
