Welcome to Episode 34 of the Sceptic! On the show this week, host Laurie Wastell speaks to the following guests:
Fred de Fossard, Director of Strategy at the Prosperity Institute, on Trump’s tariffs on how Britain should respond to them.
Sam Bidwell, Director of Research at the Adam Smith Institute, on the UK MPs campaigning for an airport in Mirpur, Pakistan and what this says about the growing problem of Muslim sectarianism in Britain.
And for our premium subscribers, Laurie is joined by Dr Mario Trabucco della Toretta, classical archaeologist and writer, on the wonders of the British Museum – and what the ‘decolonise’ crowd gets so wrong about the Elgin Marbles.

Intentionally Disturbing
Join me on this podcast as I navigate the murky waters of human behavior, current events, and personal anecdotes through in-depth interviews with incredible people—all served with a generous helping of sarcasm and satire. After years as a forensic and clinical psychologist, I offer a unique interview style and a low tolerance for bullshit, quickly steering conversations toward depth and darkness. I honor the seriousness while also appreciating wit. I’m your guide through the twisted labyrinth of the human psyche, armed with dark humor and biting wit.
