I’ve had to revert back to the audio as Nicks partially obscured face, by the microphone is really annoying! I’ve not seen this in any other visual media I watch.

Nick is hiding the fact that he’s half man half biscuit.

Come on, Toby. How can you say Trump will be worse than Biden at persecuting his opponents? Trump didn't do that to anyone and Biden is relentlessly trying to put Trump in jail. Trump was too moderate when he was in power. If only he would deliver the Bidens to justice. And you say that the US are more moderate than the Russians. Tell that to the Kennedys.

Especially when it comes to rather following the narrative on Trump and Putin, mainly Toby. And for a good appraisal of political prisoner treatment I recommend reading and listening to Glen Greenwald and The Duran on the western propaganda constructed around Navalny especially versus treatment of political prisoner Assange.

for weekly sceptic go to https://basedmedia.org/show/the-weekly-sceptic/listen and then click the RSS icon below the weekly sceptic logo (looks like a wifi type icon) to copy your personal RSS feed URL. You should then be able to add that url spotify

Spotify don't really do private RSS feeds because they want you to host the podcast on their service directly. There is a work around, but we judged that allowing people to listen on all the other podcast apps would be enough. Let us know if you really really want to listen on spotify, so we can prioritise that work accordingly. Cheers!

Surprised you didn’t mention Mark Steyn’s upcoming court case against Ofcom when you mentioned their latest GBNews complaint. A,so, what’s happened to the Will Jones Daily Sceptic segment?

Happy to be a paid up supporter of Based. Nick and Toby, you are definitely NOT grifters. For those who think you are ask them if they get paid for doing their job. Looking forward to the Zoom chats when you’re ready. Stay sceptical. D.

Good work fellas. You've put some real hard miles in over the last 12mths or so. Often listen in the car and find myself laughing out loud with my Mrs.... Howz that after 30yrs!!! Love Nick getting pissed off with the complaining comments and Toby trying to bring his 'old head' into the debate to calm him down. BTW - where's JP gone?

Loving the show! Would be great to have some form of cultture corner back- mostly because I want to hear what everyone thinks about the unbelievable wokeness of 'Triggerpoint' the ITV drama! Enjoyed the drama apart from the ridiculousness!

I have to say you two guys are absolutely brilliant. You speak so much sense. You are not biased, unlike Asda Campbell and Rory. You don’t base
