Matt and Daniel are joined by poet Ahmed Sarsour live from Deir al Balah in Gaza to hold forth on the reality of daily life in a war zone, hopes for the future, and making art in the midst of chaos.

We had a few technical issues given the precarity of the connection, and you’ll notice that Matt exits early without notice due to his own tech mishap, but we’re all happy to bring you word directly from Gaza this week.

In this week’s Patreon exclusive episode with comedian Orli Matlow from the War Is Stupid podcast, we sat down for some Hebrew Bible study with eminent Talmudic scholar and ultra-Semitic bloke Lee Kern, innit.

Matt and Daniel are joined by content creator Chris Kunzler, who was endlessly impressed with their accent work during their chat over the UK’s proscription of Palestine Action, Hen Mazzig’s pecking at Hannah Einbinder, and Israel’s decision not to drop Jerry Seinfeld’s “Unfrosted” on Gaza because their drones can’t carry bombs that massive.

On our recent Patreon-only episode with Yves Engler (long-time activist and insurgent candidate for the leadership of Canada’s New Democratic Party) we discussed a different sort of campaign: podcaster and self-proclaimed “Zioness” Dahlia Kurtz’s obsessive attack on Yves’s free speech that landed him in a Montreal jail for 5 days.  

In a special episode, Matt and Daniel are joined from Tunisia by Greg Stoker, where he is part of the Global Sumud Flotilla. This interview was recorded early in the day on September 8, 2025, before the drone strike on the flotilla's "Family Boat" in Tunisian waters.

Matt and Daniel welcome returning champion Tadhg Hickey for a deep dive into U2’s statements on Gaza. Dublin’s most famous erstwhile hoteliers attempt statements ambiguous enough to anppear prophetic in case of all possible outcomes, and Bono gets more elliptical than the Mar Vista 24 Hour Fitness during pilot season.
