Editors Note: I’d recommend watching this interview in order to get a sense of the reality in Gaza right now.
Muhammad Almassarey holds a PhD in Business-Management (Entrepreneurship) from UUM- Malaysia. He wrote 60% of his thesis during the genocide from Gaza. He shares with us the journey of getting his PhD from a tent in Gaza and how acts of solidarity allowed him to achieve his goals, despite all challenges and having been displaced 10 times after losing his home.
He literally rescued his PhD thesis from under the rubble, repeating “There is tomorrow and it will be better.” Tune in for the full story.

Prof Richard Murphy is one of the best commentators and analysts of the UK’s politics, economy and societal challenges. His own blog and output reaches millions of people every month. Which makes the fact that he is a tortoise shack regular all the more remarkable. We love having him and this is him at his frank speaking (Starmer, Polanski, SNP etc) best.
Note: Richard also discusses his diagnosis with Autism as an older person and how that affects (even more) his views on the UK government’s “changes” on special needs education.

Tucker Carlson’s interview with US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee made headlines across the world for many reasons. Not least of which was the Ambassador’s personal attack on Gaza Humanitarian Foundation whistleblower, US veteran and former Green Beret, Anthony Aguilar.
Anthony joined me to talk about his experiences in Gaza, what it is like to be in the centre of a propaganda war, his own political ambitions and how ICE have rapidly become the Trump Regimes own personal army.

Of the 4,521 new homes built in Dublin in 2025 only 208 went For Sale in an estate agents window. Something is deeply broken and given Ireland's retirement system is based on a homeownership model, it'll only get worse if action isn't taken soon.
Joining me to discuss this and a whole lot more is Housing Expert and Lecturer at TUD, Lorcan Sirr. Enjoy. Or become worried. Or do both.
