It's always a pleasure to chat with Jeff from The New Era, but I particularly enjoyed this exchange, where we covered Trump's (s)election, and explored the future implications to the US and UK, as our political "elites" further intermingle to galvanise a dramatic political pendulum shift to the right...
It's an unadulterated pleasure to hear (and watch) you speak. You're one of the very few people whose ability to speak matches their ability to write. Clear, concise and to the point.
Very good to both and Miri nailed it where we're watching actors, once understood we stop referencing them in terms of their own agency or incentives in the same way we do Thanos or Captain America being anything more than characters in a script.
I admire your patience, Miri. The more I hear you explaining the same point (in this case that they’re ALL actors), the more it sinks into my consciousness so that I can then explain it to others. Thank you, that helps me a lot, as I learn best by repetition.
Because you’ve gone over this so many times, I admire that you never lose patience, become frustrated or condescending, no matter who your interlocutor is…..total respect and gratitude to you!
Thank you both for a very informative, entertaining and enjoyable podcast. It was well worth foregoing whatever Netflix or the like could have offered instead. Miri 'n' Jeffrey sounds like a great new entrant on the entertainment double act block!
I had no idea that all but 1 of our US Presidents was related to the British Royal Family. can you please point me to other places you've written about this? Thank you for your hard work as always.

Thank you! That's very kind. I have far less confidence with speaking than writing, so I really appreciate that.

Thanks Leo!

Thank you, Catherine! I really appreciate that feedback. Not sure that it's true I never lose my patience (ask Mr. AF..!), but thank you all the same.
Awesome interview, razor sharp as always Miri and well asked questions from Jeff.
Thank you, Toeknee, glad you enjoyed it!
Enligtening and scary.

Thank you Cheryl, I don't actually think I have written about it, but here's an article from a UK newspaper for more info https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2183858/All-presidents-bar-directly-descended-medieval-English-king.html
