One handpicked episode, every day — stimulating, engaging, and worth your time.
Moscow’s enemy number one
The Documentary Podcast (BBC) GB
Since Trump's re-election, Russian state propaganda has dramatically shifted its focus from the US to Britain, now portraying the UK as 'perfidious Albion' and the primary villain in its war narrative. This BBC documentary explores the elaborate insults, accusations, and threats being directed at Britain, and investigates what this rhetorical shift signals about Russia's strategic thinking—a question UK military chiefs are taking very seriously. A compelling look at how propaganda warfare reflects and shapes geopolitical realities in real time.

How we pick
Each morning our pipeline scans recent episodes from 22 curated shows spanning technology, science, history, culture, politics, and long-form journalism. An AI model scores each episode for intellectual depth, timeliness, and broad appeal — with a deliberate bias toward episodes that engage with something happening right now.
Unlike the news feed (which favours calm and constructive stories), the podcast pick is chosen to be compelling and current — strong opinions, lively debate, and challenging ideas are all welcome here, provided the content is substantive and evidence-based.
We avoid repeating the same show within a two-week window so you get genuine variety. Episodes must have been published in the last seven days, and run between 10 and 180 minutes.
