Oh God, What Now?

Podcast Summary

A deep exploration of the Ukraine war's origins and implications: The Doomsday Watch podcast provides a unique perspective on the Ukraine war, revealing human qualities and historical significance in a complex geopolitical conflict.
The Doomsday Watch podcast's new series on the Ukraine war offers a deep exploration of a complex geopolitical conflict that has significant implications for world stability. The series aims to provide the first draft of history on the war, which began unexpectedly with Russia's invasion of Ukraine and has since reshaped the global landscape. The podcast delves into the roots of the conflict in Russian history and Putin's paranoid motivations, as well as the courage and resilience of everyday Ukrainians in the face of atrocities. The podcast's unique perspective sheds light on the human qualities revealed in this conflict, which for many is a fight between good and evil. Despite the unbelievable reality of a war being fought in Europe with trenches, gunfire, and ruins, the podcast invites listeners to bear witness to this historical moment and understand its significance.
Putin's Quick Victory in Ukraine Turned into a Costly and Isolating War: Putin's invasion of Ukraine resulted in significant casualties, a tarnished military reputation, and increasing international isolation, while Ukraine became a symbol of resilience and heroism.
Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine a year ago was meant to be a quick victory, but it has turned into a costly and isolating war for Russia. Putin's goal was to demonstrate his power and bring Ukraine under Russian control, but instead, he has faced significant casualties, a tarnished military reputation, and increasing international isolation. Ukraine, on the other hand, has become a symbol of resilience and heroism. The human toll of this conflict, with estimates of over 300,000 Russian and Ukrainian casualties, is a stark reminder of the devastating consequences of Putin's actions. As Putin sits alone in the Kremlin, the tolling bell serves as a reminder of the human cost of his war.

Election '24: Electric Landslide

According to Grant Shapps, Labour is in danger of winning a “supermajority” - which means literally nothing in British politics. We prefer ‘mega-landslide’, but realistically what would a win as big as is projected mean for British politics? Plus, no one is talking about Brexit in this election cycle, even Nigel Farage – WHY?!

Election ’24 Update – Stella Creasy on Labour’s tightrope walk

In our latest Election update: If Labour are set for a massive majority, why are they still so cautious on policy? Labour’s Stella Creasy tells Andrew Harrison why the party refuses to over-promise – why Starmer won’t talk about rejoining the EU – where she stands on the controversial two-child benefit cap – plus Gaza, Sunak, Farage and how to get people believing in politics again. Don’t miss our Election Night Live Show, streaming on Zoom for Patreon backers. • “I don’t want us to promise a moon on the stick. I want people to feel confident.” • “The far right don’t offer you solutions. They offer you someone to blame.” • “Every big project this Government has promoted hasn’t happened.” • “We ripped up so much by leaving the EU… We cannot underestimate how damaged our reputation has been.” We’re on YouTube!: https://www.youtube.com/@ohgodwhatnow www.patreon.com/ohgodwhatnow Presented by Andrew Harrison.

Election Bonus: The Shakespearean Tragedy of Rishi Sunak – with guest Steve Richards

Politics podcast presenter Steve Richards talks to Jacob Jarvis about the Shakespearean downfall of Rishi Sunak, the gilded youth who finds he’s not up to this titanic task. Plus: Is appearing as brutal as the Conservatives the right strategy for Labour? The weakness of Starmer’s language. And the patronising futility of TV debates. • “Sunak has tried on so many guises, he doesn’t know who he is now.” • “In Grimsby Sunak just looked crushed… It must be tormenting him that he’s leading his party towards doom.” • “When we see people as losers, everything we see of them reinforces that.” Support us on Patreon to get early access to all our live tickets plus mugs, t-shirts and more.

Election ‘24: No Dish Rish

Sky-deprived youngster Rishi Sunak announced the Tory manifesto at Silverstone on Tuesday, claiming that the UK economy “is turning a corner”. Even if it is (it’s not), is his manifesto in pole position or does it simply have 4 flat tyres? And as Ed Davey hops on another rollercoaster, whose election campaign is going well and who’s just taking us for a ride? Former Labour Party advisor and co-author of Punch & Judy Politics, Tom Hamilton, joins the panel to discuss all of that. And in the Extra Bit for subscribers, the European elections paid off well for the far-right. How would a Starmer centre-left government deal with a Europe veering off in the other direction?
