Our threat levels were critical, but they've been neutralized, because we're just that good and you know it. And we're never leaving Slough House. Hey, just like River!Chris is back this week with Bankole and Angel for the rollercoaster finale of 'Slow Horses' Season 5 on Apple TV, and together the squad tries to figure out what this new resolution might mean for the show going forward, while celebrating Diana's takeover finally landing.After Chris gives his debrief on the London Film Festival, they start by marveling at the truth behind Lamb's story from episode 3 (11:34), before quickly addressing both the competence and significance of the dissidents' plan for retribution (16:04). They also call River out for projecting and applaud for Claude for managing to somehow fail upwards into survival, which is as hilarious as it is surprising.Additionally, they dive into a discussion on whether the show wants us to believe River is competent (32:13) and why Claude never stood a chance against Lamb (37:12), as well as how the book handled the events of the episode — and season — a bit differently (47:18), after which they share some fun recommendations and their expectations for the already high-octane sixth season of the show (50:30).You can support us here.Subscribe to our Newsletter.Also available on YouTube.Chris' London Film Festival Highlights!Chris' take on 'The Secret Agent'.Chris full 'Sentimental Value' review.Chris on the new 'Knives Out': 'Wake Up Dead Man'.Host: Bankole ImoukhuedeGuests: Chris and AngelProduction by: Ebube Ubochi

Fellow podcaster Mo Walker joins Matt and Dawn to review four new shows available this week. Slow Horses is a massive hit for Apple TV, so now the streamer is banking on another series of novels from author Mick Herron in the hopes of lightning strikes twice. Dame Emma Thompson and Ruth Wilson lead an impressive British cast of familiar faces in thriller Down Cemetery Road. Next, and perhaps less successful, after a major run on Netflix, author Harlan Coben comes to Prime Video with ghostly new drama Lazarus. On the BBC, there's the thriller The Ridge, which stars Karen Pire's Lauren Lyle. Lastly, comedian of the moment, Tim Robbins, best known for his fast-paced Netflix sketch series, I Think You Should Leave, leads his first sitcom in HBO's The Chair Company, which is available in the UK on Sky Boxsets or NOW. Lastly, in our three strikes quiz, Matt and Mo compete to name as many dead EastEnders characters as they can. How well would you do?

The novel Slow Horses by Mick Herron tells the story of a team of disgraced MI5 agents assigned to a bureaucratic dumping ground known as Slough House. They're, by all accounts, failures – demoted from top tier intelligence to basement busy work. That is, until a kidnapping case lands squarely on their dusty desks – thrusting the slow horses into fast paced espionage.The irony? That book was rejected. For seven years. Then it was pitched as a television series – and rejected by multiple networks. To quote Slough House loser-in-chief Jackson Lamb: “They're losers. But they're my losers.”Hope you'll join us. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Wait a second... Is Lamb... Worried?!Bankole, Chris and Angel are on the edge of their seats this week, watching Jackson Lamb potentially on the back foot for what might just be the first ever in what is probably Bankole's favorite episode of 'Slow Horses' till date.The guys start by dutifully listening to Angel explain why everyone should watch HBO's 'The Pitt' — she's very convincing — and then go on to discuss the duality of enjoying seeing the agents working together in one place while wishing they weren't doing it in captivity.The team also tries to discern just how much truth might be present in Lamb's tall tale, and if he could even be talking about himself, as well as how it's possible for Roddy to be as delusional and irresponsible as he is. They of course also hand out this week's Louisa Awards for competence and decide who this week's slowest horse is.You can support us here.Subscribe to our Newsletter.Also available on YouTubeHost: Bankole ImoukhuedeGuests: Chris and AngelProduction by: Ebube Ubochi

Does anyone do any work around here? Well, of course not — this is Slough House. And somehow Roddy's delusion has only grown since last week.Bankole returns with Chris and Angel for the second episode of 'Slow Horses' season 5 on Apple TV+, and miraculously they might be on the same wavelength with Lamb for once: they can't decide which character is the least competent.They start by providing some much needed recommendations for the current — and upcoming — season of TV (what a time to be alive). Then they get into this week's action and give props to Shirley for being the only agent who's actually awake in this episode (7:10). They also put out a notice that Claude's days are numbered, and take some educated guesses on what the assailants' true motives might be.

Clown Town by Mick Herron. This is the latest novel in his Slow Horses series, about Jackson Lamb and the cast of MI5 misfits and rejects that he manages in Slough House. They are brilliant books and this one is no exception. There are several seasons of an Apple TV series based on the books which is wonderful television, but as always, the books are even better. Highly recommended for anyone who likes spy stories, and eccentric, interesting and deeply flawed characters. Fly, Wild Swans by Jung Chang. In 1991, Jung Chang's memoir about three generations of women in her family in China was on everyone's reading list - and it was wonderful. This is a follow up, updating things since the impact that success had on her life, change in China and its place in the world over the years and what's happened to her during that period - it's really a personal and global memoir, and much of it is a love letter to her mother. Her books are all banned in China, but luckily we have them here. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Secret Book Society by Madeline Martin You are cordially invited to the Secret Book Society… London, 1895: Trapped by oppressive marriages and societal expectations, three women receive a mysterious invitation to an afternoon tea at the home of the reclusive Lady Duxbury. Beneath the genteel facade of the gathering lies a secret book club—a sanctuary where they can discover freedom, sisterhood, and the courage to rewrite their stories. Eleanor Clarke, a devoted mother suffocating under the tyranny of her husband. Rose Wharton, a transplanted American dollar princess struggling to fit the mold of an aristocratic wife. Lavinia Cavendish, an artistic young woman haunted by a dangerous family secret. All are drawn to the enigmatic Lady Duxbury, a thrice-widowed countess whose husbands' untimely deaths have sparked whispers of murder. As the women form deep, heartwarming friendships, they uncover secrets about their marriages, their pasts, and the risks they face. Their courage is their only weapon in the oppressive world that has kept them silent, but when secrets are deadly, one misstep could cost them everything. Clown Town by Mick Herron Spies lie. They betray. It's what they do. Slow horse River Cartwright is waiting to be passed fit for work. With time to kill, and with his grandfather - a legendary former spy - long dead, River investigates the secrets of the old man's library, and a mysteriously missing book. Regent's Park's First Desk, Diana Taverner, doesn't appreciate threats. So when those involved in a covert operation during the height of the Troubles threaten to expose the ugly side of state security, Taverner turns blackmail into opportunity. Over at Slough House, the repository for failed spies, Catherine Standish just wants everyone to play nice. But as far as Jackson Lamb is concerned, the slow horses should all be at their desks. Because when Taverner starts plotting mischief people get hurt, and Lamb has no plans to send in the clowns. On the other hand, if the clowns ignore his instructions and fool around, any harm that befalls them is hardly his fault. But they're his clowns. And if they don't all come home, there'll be a reckoning. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Meet my friends, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton! If you love Verdict, the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show might also be in your audio wheelhouse. Politics, news analysis, and some pop culture and comedy thrown in too. Here’s a sample episode recapping four Thursday takeaways. Give the guys a listen and then follow and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. Make America Safe Again violent crime in American cities, with Clay spotlighting disturbing incidents in Cincinnati and Memphis. He shares the story of Holly, a mother who was brutally attacked, and critiques the justice system’s failure to keep repeat offenders off the streets. Ohio Senator Bernie Moreno invited Holly to speak out about the crime. Clay praises Judge Jeanine Pirro and President Donald Trump for taking strong stances on law and order, including Trump’s proposal to federalize the D.C. police force and demand a new U.S. census to correct errors from 2020 and prepare for 2030. The show also explores the political debate over crime statistics, contrasting claims of declining crime rates with real-life safety concerns. Clay argues for empowering police, holding judges accountable, and ensuring cities like Washington D.C. and Memphis become safe again for families. American Dads are Failing A deep dive into the rising violent crime in Washington, D.C., spotlighting President Donald Trump's efforts to restore law and order in the capital. Drawing on historical symbolism, Clay reflects on the importance of capital cities, referencing Abraham Lincoln’s commitment to completing the Capitol dome during the Civil War and the newly announced reconciliation monument at Arlington Cemetery. The episode features a striking comparison of homicide rates in global capital cities, revealing Washington, D.C.’s alarming rate of 41 per 100,000—far higher than cities like Lima, Nairobi, and Mexico City. Clay argues that a safe and vibrant capital is essential to American exceptionalism and global leadership. The crisis of fatherlessness in America. Clay explores how the absence of fathers in households correlates with youth violence, poverty, and societal breakdown. He responds to listener feedback, emphasizing that while individual cases vary, the data overwhelmingly shows that intact families—especially with present fathers—lead to better outcomes. The discussion includes racial disparities, with Clay citing historical data showing stronger black family units prior to the Great Society programs and questioning the long-term impact of government dependency. Talking Left and Living Right The decline of fatherhood in American homes. Clay and listeners explore how absent fathers—across racial and socioeconomic lines—correlate with rising violent crime, poverty, and social instability. The discussion includes listener emails and calls, including one from Ralph in Cincinnati, who shares his personal struggle for equal custody and critiques the family court system’s bias toward mothers. Clay argues for 50/50 parenting time and criticizes the financial incentives that perpetuate divorce litigation. Clay promotes YouTube bonus content book reviews, including The Fate of the Day, a volume in the American Revolution trilogy, and thrillers by Mick Herron, Sue Grafton, and Robert Parker. Clay emphasizes the importance of reading and historical literacy for conservative audiences. SC Sen. Tim Scott on Faith South Carolina Senator Tim Scott, author of One Nation Always Under God: Profiles in Christian Courage, and dives deep into the crisis of fatherlessness in America, the role of faith in family life, and the impact of government policy on household dynamics. Senator Scott joins the program to discuss his book and personal journey growing up in a single-parent household. He highlights the importance of faith, family, and male role models in shaping strong communities. Scott shares statistics on fatherless homes—over 70% among African-American boys and 40% among white working-class families—and calls for a cultural and spiritual revival to restore family values. The hour also touches on President Trump’s call for a new census, which could shift congressional representation and electoral college influence toward red states. Clay explains how a corrected census could add seats in Florida and Texas while reducing representation in California and New York. In a lighter moment, Clay and Senator Scott discuss college football rivalries, with Scott predicting a strong season for the South Carolina Gamecocks. The conversation showcases Scott’s loyalty and enthusiasm for sports, adding a relatable and entertaining dimension to the hour.
