    Description

    Glenn Greenwald is one of the world's most famous journalists: a Pulitzer Prize winner because of his work on the Edward Snowden revelations, he is a prominent critique of authoritarianism and US foreign policy. We discussed a lot, including our disagreements: Donald Trump and Trumpism, the far right, the military-industrial complex, could the US end up like Hungary, Joe Biden's new administration, the role of the US left, the media and where Brazil is heading.Help us take on the establishment media here: https://patreon.com/owenjones84Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/the-owen-jones-podcast.

    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. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/the-owen-jones-podcast.
