The Winston Marshall Show

James Lindsay, expert in Critical Theory, discusses the alliance of radical leftists and hard-right muslims, exploring topics like antisemitism, Critical Immigrant Theory, and the convergence of ideologies. He shares insights on the history of protests, woke influence on university campuses, impact of Post-Colonial Theory, critique of Woke Islamism, and the influence of communism in the Western world.

Kanye West, Madonna, Sam Smith and Harry Styles, these megastars of pop music are household names, their music pulses through stereos and headphones across the world. But do these modern icons represent something deeper?Winston speaks with Jonathan Pageau, expert in ancient symbolism, one of the most influential men in Christian Orthodoxy and one of “The Three Orthodoxmen Of The Apocalypse” according to Rod Dreher. Jonathan explains the deep archetypes belying pop music and rock n’ roll over the last 100 years.From Johnny Cash’s Heroes Journey to the androgynous Prince, Bowie and Bjork. It turns out there are deep archetypal characters belying the lights and the makeup. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Eylon Levy is the leading Israeli government spokesperson. You will have seen him doing media hit after media hit, fiercely defending Israel throughout the Israel-Hamas War. But you will not have seen him like this.We sit down together at the historic Jaffa Hotel Chapel in Israel for a deeper dive, a closer examination of what he’s been saying. It was an opportunity to better understand the mind of the Israeli government through the mouth of one man.How did the October 7th Massacre happen? How did a country with the most stringent security in the world be so overcome? Can Israel actually win this war? Is pulverising Gaza actually a sensible strategy?Can an idea - the Islamist-Nationalist ideology of Hamas - actually be defeated? It is an idea reinforced with every victory of Israel, much like a Chinese finger trap, the more you struggle against it, the tighter the grip. Does Israel care what the world thinks? Does Israel need America and Britain? I tried to reach the Eylon beneath the government veneer - he is, after all, a Londoner like me. What does he make of the future of Britain?N.B.

What does a man learn about human nature, human evil, totalitarianism, and God in Russia’s most brutal prison labor camps? Could it help one predict the precipitous rise of antisemitism across the world? Natan Sharanksy saw it all coming.Natan's life sits at the nexus of progressive antisemitism and Soviet totalitarianism. Nine years in the gulag on trumped-up charges, but in large part owing to his attempted immigration to Israel. When finally free, Sharansky served Israel in politics, including as Deputy Prime Minister.I spoke with him in Jerusalem to discuss the ongoing Israel-Hamas Conflict, the power of left-wing antisemitism, the triumph of neo-marxism in the West, and, of course, his time in the gulag. Sharansky is a national treasure in Israel. He gives valuable context to the October 7th Massacre, why it is different from all pogroms in history, and what it portends for the future.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------SUBSCRIBE: If you like the show and want to stay updated, don't forget to subscribe!

Since October 7th, Douglas Murray has been in Israel covering the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict.I spoke with Douglas at the Jaffa Hotel, in its historic chapel. It is, without doubt, the most stirring interview I have ever conducted. Douglas has been somewhat of a lone voice defending Jews and scrutinising Hamas in worldwide media. We discuss the harsh realities of war, the end of the two-state solution, and the road to victory. I sensed Douglas’ anger that his 2017 book ‘The Strange Death of Europe’ turned out to be prophetic. Britain is in a dire state. The civil service is captured, the institutions corrupted, the media hapless, and politicians pusillanimous. Be it the grooming gangs, Katherine Birbalsingh’s fight in the High Court, or two-tiered policing. The state of Britain is contemptible.Has multiculturalism failed? Is Islam compatible with British values? Our country has fallen to new depths, never so apparent as we witness the weekly pro-Palestine, anti-Israel marches in the wake of the October 7th slaughter.But most striking of all, Douglas makes a cry for his country to wake up, stand up and find its courage again.

Welcome to The Winston Marshall Show.Back in 2021, I quit my band Mumford & Sons. That's a story for another day. But the long and short of it is that I decided it was better to live honestly than to stay silent, better to speak freely than to self-censor. Well, two and a half years later, I can truthfully say, it's a much better way to live. It's the only way to live.I then joined The Spectator and started my show Marshall Matters, , , Yeonmi Park, Posie Parker, Michael Shellenberger () and many, many more.It was a privilege.Well now I'm going independent. I’ll continue interviewing leading writers, authors, artists, journalists, musicians, scientists, entrepreneurs and heterodox voices across the world. Back then, I started because I was trying to make sense of what the hell was going on. Well, it's 2024 now, and things are a whole lot more fucked up.So it should be interesting.I'm excited for you to join me on this journey, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.Welcome to The Winston Marshall Show.
