The Owen Jones Podcast
Owen Jones
Owen Jones, journalist, author of Chavs and The Establishment, or "that left-wing idiot off the telly", is fed up with the establishment media. After all, it punches down, not up, blames minorities for all the problems in society, and, let's face it, often just parrots the government line. So this podcast is offering something different: speaking truth to power, giving the marginalised a voice, offering hope - and having a laugh along the way. From Michael Sheen to Judith Butler, Prof. Devi Sridhar to Noam Chomsky, Peter Hitchens to Chelsea Manning and Gary Younge to Stewart Lee, the interviewees couldn't be more eclectic. Expect documentaries, too, exposing injustice and going to enemy territory - and discussions with experts on everything from COVID dreams about the pandemic to the history of US-backed coups. We'll learn a lot - but above all else, have our optimism in a better world rebooted.

Could UK Politicians Be ARRESTED Over Gaza War Crimes? w/ Tayab Ali
The Owen Jones Podcast
01/19/24 • 20 min
Could British ministers - and British civilians who fought with the Israeli Defence Forces - face prosecution for aiding and abetting Israel's war crimes?
A new legal case has been launched - including a criminal complaint alleging UK government ministers' complicity in war crimes which has been lodged with the Metropolitan Police. Could this really lead someone?
I speak to Tayab Ali, partner at Bindmans LLP and Head of International Law, and one of the driving forces behind the International Centre of Justice for Palestinians which is driving the case.

Rishi Sunak's Dangerous Gaza Jibe Taken Down By Zarah Sultana
The Owen Jones Podcast
01/18/24 • 15 min
This is dangerous stuff. When Zarah Sultana - one of the few Labour MPs taking a courageous stance over Gaza - spoke in Parliament, Tory PM Rishi Sunak and his sidekick made a truly grim jibe.
Zarah Sultana joins me to talk about how dangerous racist rhetoric is used to shut down solidarity with Palestinians, how the atmosphere is getting worse - and how she's taking on Israeli arms sales.

Economist Ha-Joon Chang Destroys Neo-Liberal Economics
The Owen Jones Podcast
01/15/23 • 21 min
Rishi Sunak's budget is like English food before the 90s - with its overcooked vegetables - and Liz Truss' Mini-Budget is like bringing back Tex-Mex. Confused? In his new book EDIBLE ECONOMICS, Prof. Ha-Joon Chang uses food to take apart the ruling economic mantras of our time - and shows that there is hope for an alternative.
