Gareth Soye sits down with journalist, historian, and author Ruth Dudley Edwards. They discuss losing friends over politics, the importance of free speech, and the joy of a bloody good argument.

To keep things ticking over while the comrades bide their time and wait for the next opportunity to record a full pod, here are some choice cuts that didn't make previous episodes. Kev makes the bold claim that a race of reptilians are NOT responsible for the oppression of humanity, and somebody chimes in with some relevant observations from 1953. The antifa boys then soberly assess just how powerless humankind has been revealed to be by the corona crisis, before Seb muses over the lack of self-awareness among establishment figures & organisations. The pair then take a superficial pop at the appearance of Ruth Dudley Edwards, because why not? different political priorities // military-industrial theft // no blueprint for coronavirus // Bernie personality cult? // liberal driving the poor towards the Fascists // self-immolation as desperate protest // Primary Colors // political huckster Music: The Nightwatchman - Union Town Neil Young - Ordinary People The Mighty Stef - We Want Blood The Pogues - The Auld Triangle The Decemberists - This Is Why We Fight

WAR on the Media. The comrades had a serious discussion around ever pervading influence of the media over politics, the rising global disatisfaction with democracy as it is currently understood (bourgois representative democracy). Then for a bit of levity Kev reads a piece about the recent success of Sinn Féin in Ireland by Brexit supporting and Irish ex-patriot historian, columnist and alleged crime writer Ruth Dudley Edwards. They wrap up by covering the crimes being carried out against the Wet'suwet'en people in Canada, how the state and media are being deployed in support of capital against these and other indigenous peoples in North America, who have already suffered and continue to suffer genocide against them. It's heavy but the comrades find room for some laughs.

Ruth Dudley Edwards explains how she recovers from writing seriously about politics, revolution and terrorism by writing satirical crime novels. A firm believer in learning to laugh at everything and a dedicated opponent of fashionable opinions, she talks about how she chooses her subjects, why she so loves the crime-writing world and its inhabitants, and why she’s never met a fan of her crime novels that she did not like.

Socialist Phil Kelly, journalist Peter Popham, and historian Ruth Dudley Edwards discuss.

All that is solid melts into air. It was one of Karl Marx's most famous slogans, but the great Victorian might have been writing about 2016. Many a political death arrived suddenly, and famous names from Prince to David Bowie died literally too. The British people voted to crash out of the European Union, and now—the one thing all the wise heads agreed couldn't happen has done. America has voted in President Donald Trump. Where are these unsettling times taking us, and what will the new president actually do? In the third episode of this monthly series, Prospect editor Tom Clark is joined by the esteemed American writer, Sam Tanenhaus who has followed Trump all year and explains why this most unprepared of leaders is looking as shocked as the rest of us; and, Diane Roberts, a literary critic and a commentator for National Public Radio warns that Trump's arrival could set back the clock for women and minorities by half a century. The historian, Ruth Dudley-Edwards, gives her take on whether the effect of one of 2016's earlier surprises—Brexit—could reopen an ancient Irish wound on the border. And all the panel reflect on one of the year's cheerier “Oh My God” moments: the award of the Nobel literature prize to Bob Dylan. All of the discussion draws on articles in the December 2016 edition of Prospect magazine. Produced by Matt Hill at Rethink Audio.

On Start the Week Tom Sutcliffe looks back a hundred years to Easter Rising of 1916. Ruth Dudley Edwards explores the lives of Ireland's founding fathers and questions how they should be remembered, while Heather Jones places this historical moment in the context of the Great War. David Rieff praises forgetting in his study of the uses and abuses of historical memory, and its often pernicious influence on the present. And the Irish commentator Fintan O'Toole examines the present fortunes of a country once famed as the Celtic Tiger. Producer: Katy Hickman.

By the end of January 1914 the Lockout ended with a decisive and crushing victory for the employers. Many leave Dublin to seek work in English cities and the striking girls and women from Jacobs are worst off. Most do not get work again and those that do are not allowed back until April. Actor Ronnie McCann voices James Connollys prophetic words, Dublin is isolated, and we hear from Connollys great grandson James Connolly Heron and from Larkins great grandchildren, Jim and Aoife Breslin. Historians Emmet O Connor, Padraig Yeates, Theresa Moriarty, Ann Mathews and Diarmaid Ferriter vividly describe events while author Ruth Dudley Edwards, a biographer of Connolly assesses the leadership of Connolly, Larkin and Constance Markievicz.

In Episode 5 we explore the impact of defeat on not just the trade union movement but also on our key characters. Is it the defeat of Lockout or the outbreak of World War One which defines 1916? We hear the voices of Connolly and Larkin read by Ronnie McCann and Stephen Murray as well as the views of historians and commentators including Padraig Yeates, Diarmaid Ferriter and Ruth Dudley Edwards.
