Welcome to this episode of Thelma and Tom. I'm going to be honest here (no really, I am) - for one reason and another, we did no prep for this recording at all. And yes, I was a bit nervous how it would go. And yes, as it turns out I'm pretty pleased with it. We discuss, among other things, the dire state of education in the UK, the unravelling of …

Welcome to the Thelma and Tom Christmas Special. For our Christmas present this year we get to choose our very own Prime Minister and Cabinet. It was great fun, but seriously the government we have chosen would be so much better than what we have now - not a difficult challenge, I know! We also treat ourselves and all our listeners to a wonderful b…

Say it myself, this could be one of the best Thelma and Tom's we've ever done. The Labour Party are now virtually indistinguishable from the Tory Party, with even Farage this week, complementing Starmer on his immigration policies. How much worse does it have to get before everyone on the Left finally realises that we have been almost completely sq…

In Part one Thelma and I talk about the Royals, and for Part two we are joined by our guests, Doug Thorpe of Left Unity, and Alex Mayes of Breakthrough. We have a great conversation loosely around the theme of 'what will it take to bring about a mainstream Socialist Party'. A nice positive podcast to listen to in these sometimes quite tough times f…

We had a plan, but so much has happened this week we just had to let it go and see where we ended up.

When I started this podcast with Thelma I really wanted to make a platform for people to be free to speak their minds. Our guest on this podcast is Nuala Burgess, and to be honest, she speaks her mind, and it's really good. Nuala is passionate about education, and Thelma is a retired headteacher - it's a great conversation, and we cover a lot of gr…

Welcome to episode 29 of Thelma and Tom Look Left in which we take a closer look at the effects of power on the human psyche, everyones lives, and the planet. This is a huge subject, which to be honest we have really only just made a start on. We discuss the chaos that power can cause when it seems to almost inevitably 'go to people's heads'. We al…

Welcome to episode 28 of Thelma and Tom Look Left, Difficult times for everyone to make any sense off. In this episode we discuss our feelings about the dreadful situation in Ukraine. Of course we hope for a speedy resolution, and as always with war it's the innocent people who pay the price. We also lament the fact that our leaders seem so devoid …

OK, no music, no editing, just uncut Thelma and Tom, plus a guest appearance by Alex Mayes, leader of The Breakthrough Party. We wanted to get this episode out there as quickly as possible.

In this episode we talk about Hippies, Tories, Centrists, and Socialists, plus we discuss Thelma's visit to the European Forum. We also ponder on how we wouldn't be allowed to make this podcast in so many countries of the world. It seems astonishing that even this humble little podcast would be deemed 'subversive', and disrespectful to the state, a…

If you only ever listen to one episode of TTLL, then make it this one. Our guest is Maia Thomas, who grew up in the West Country and is the founder member of the Exeter group of Black Lives Matter.

The Labour Conference Special Or, as the Novara show from the Conference was titled, 'Is Labour Dead?' We're a bit late with this podcast I know, but still relevant and well worth a listen. We recorded this about an hour after Starmer's 'most important speech of his life'. Thelma had just returned from a long walk to clear her head after listening …

After our Summer break the Headteacher and the Hippie are back in town, and this time around we really do want to get down to business. Can the left do anything to make the changes that so need to happen, or are we destined to just talk about it forever more. This time around our podcast release dates are going to be somewhat more anarchic, so plea…

I know I'm biased but I think this is one of our 'great episodes' (in my not so humble opinion).Great to welcome Thelma back, and to meet Philip too. We get in to some very interesting areas around the practicalities of bringing success to Left wing politics, and what we really need to do to make it happen. And we look at the age old question, 'Can…

Well, can you believe it, we've made it to Episode 10 and to celebrate the occasion, we've come up with a really good podcast (to be fair, they've all been pretty good haven't they).

Pour le 65e épisode de Thelma & Louise, on s’intéresse au féminisme des plus jeunes! En effet plus on avance et plus les ados, et même les enfants, ont de choses à nous apprendre. Dans l'équipe de Thelma & Louise on est heureuses de voir que la relève est assurée ! Par exemple à l’automne dernier, des lycéennes et collégiennes se sont mobil…

Thank you for checking out our podcast. In Episode 9 we are joined by Kate Hudson, the general secretary of CND. I'm going to say it, I was pretty worried about how we could make this episode 'not too heavy'. In fact, we have managed to record a really good discussion. Kate is so knowledgeable on this subject, and so reasonable and balanced in the …

Qu'est-ce que l'information féministe ? Et comment la fabrique-t-on ? À l'heure où les vagues #MeToo, #MeTooGay, #MeTooInceste, provoquent la sortie de centaines de témoignages, est-il possible d'avoir des médias qui traitent l'actualité d'une manière plus égalitaire et plus féministe ? C'est la question que nous avons choisi de nous poser ce mois-…
