The Rest Is Politics - Podcast Rankings and reviews

This has instantly become my favorite podcast. It is a UK-focused political discussion that includes shrewd international commentary. Stewart’s brief summary of the Israel-Palestine conflict is an excellent primer for anyone. Alastair’s occasional dabbling in theater and books he has read is my favorite. They include just the right amount of humor and side comments, but the main topic always remains the focus. This is a civil and astute dialogue from men of substance.

I’m an American who has fallen in love this podcast. No matter where you hail from, TRIP is worth a listen. The hosts are intelligent, they know their stuff, and they are able to disagree without resorting to insulting one another. I get a little lost when they start talking about GB politics, but a quick Google usually can get me filled in.

The Rest Is Politics US podcast offers a clear and insightful look into American politics. Katty Kay’s journalistic precision contrasts effectively with Anthony Scaramucci’s lived-in perspectives. This combination provides a balanced and comprehensive view, making it a must-listen for understanding the complexities of the political landscape.

Just discovered this in the last few weeks and it’s definitely one of my favourite podcasts. You’ve got some kind of gold with the pairing of Campbell and Stewart, which is rare. Hope you hang on to it and keep this going for a long time. From AC’s near namesake, Alistair Candlin, UK expat, and long term South Korea resident. Addition, Sep 16, 2023. Just bought Rory’s new book, Politics On the Edge, on Audible, after listening to the extract, here. Maybe one of the great political memoirs? Sounds great from the intro. anyway, so I hope so

What a crime to co-brand Alaister Campbell and Rory Stewart, class acts who have created that rarest of jewels — a podcast consistently worth listening to — with the unserious and unsettling Anthony Scaramucci.
