The Podcast of the Lotus Eaters

This week Beau chats all about the 1942 British raid on Saint Nazaire in Normandy, and the mission to thwart Nazi Germany’s war in the Atlantic, by giving their largest battleships nowhere to dock. Derring-do and bloody adventure ensues.

In this episode of Chronicles, Luca is joined by Josh to discuss Amadeus by Peter Shaffer. They explore the play's compelling rivalry between Mozart and Salieri, and the themes of genius, envy and mediocrity.

Dan, Stelios, and Nick discuss how Spain is using Africans to win elections and not even lying about it, how Trump is a lion and not a faulty fox, and how we should be embracing the penguins.

Beau discusses today's papers and gives you an overview of the day's news. Live 8-9am GMT on weekdays.

Carl, Josh, and Firas debate whether it's already over for Farage, when a lib encounters reality, and how they're tearing Britain up.
