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.

Biased, half-truths, Anti-Semitic, Jew hatred

This person pretends to know about Israel and the conflict, but instead rattles off HAMAS talking points. The context is inaccurate, incorrect, half-baked, and anti-Semitic Jew hated.

Brutal truths

I know we are all biased in some form, but listening to Owen take on “naughty” subjects & gives his take no prisoners (no pun intended) attitude towards it puts MSM to shame

Real Journalism

Excellent coverage of the genocide in Gaza. Says it how it is, doesn’t hold back and is frankly a breath of fresh air.

Cockney Insanity

A seething Israel hater; Hamas, Islamic Jihadist apologist with the the silliest, most insufferable Cockney (or something equally unintelligible) accent on any podcast. Enjoy you likeminded morons.

Great podcasts with insightful guests

Great podcast to listen to if you have interest in hearing out the different views in the Middle East currently. He has had some great guests such as Gideon Levy. Thank you for using your platform. Sorry about these people lowering your rating because they are unable to tolerate their government being criticized.

Speaks truth to power

Owen is incredibly articulate and intelligent - a true journalist

The Missing Middle

Owen Jones is giving voice to the many missing middle throughout the world, especially with regards to Israel’s genocidal attack on the Palestinians of Gaza. It is of the utmost importance that all citizens of western democratic countries, all of whom’s political leaders are currently failing in their positive obligation to prevent genocide, pursue clearly presented truthful facts about the situation in Gaza. Owen and his guests are doing some of the most important work in the entire world right now by providing this information to us all, and that is not an exaggeration. As one of a handful of people in the english speaking world using their platform to try mightily to assist us and our politicians to avoid committing, aiding and failing to prevent the most grievous crime of genocide, Owen is doing us all an invaluable service.

Not impressed

Owen speaks out of a position of ignorance. Listened to 4 podcasts of his and I honestly can say it was a waste of my time.

Great journalist

It's great to have independent journalist who aren't afraid of threats and oppressive censorship, reflecting the vivid truth that the unjust Zionist global system seeks to silence. This person hasn't sold themselves to the devil.

Misguided and antisemitic

Stopped counting how many lies in one show after the first 20…

Facts check is something this show needs

It’s a shame that a microphone is given to influencers without them being responsible enough for their nonsense speeches
