More or Less - The Stats of the Nation: Immigration, benefits and inequality
What kind of state does the UK find itself in as we start 2026? That’s the question Tim Harford and the More or Less team is trying to answer in a series of five special programmes.
In the final episode, we’re looking at the numbers behind some of the UK’s most potent political debates:
Has 98% of the UK’s population growth come from immigration?
Do we spend more on benefits in the UK than in other high-income countries?
Is the gap between rich and poor growing?
Get in touch if you’ve seen a number in the news you think we should take a look at: moreorless@bbc.co.uk

Consider This from NPR - Is the Trump foreign policy back to the future?
"Make America great again."
That phrase has been in our political ecosystem for 10 years now.
But it's never been clear what time period in American history President Trump was referencing?
Is it the 1980s? Or maybe the 1950s?
What about further back, say the 1890s?
As we enter the second year of Trump’s second term, is a 19th century presidency emerging? For sponsor-free episodes of Consider This, sign up for Consider This+ via Apple Podcasts or at plus.npr.org. Email us at considerthis@npr.org.

Audio Mises Wire - Why The Monroe Doctrine Cannot be Reestablished
With American intervention in Venezuela, some are claiming that the Trump administration is simply invoking the Monroe Doctrine, or its corollary, the “Donroe” Doctrine. In reality, neither doctrine is an appropriate reason for US military intervention in Latin America.

Bad Faith - Episode 540 – How Tony Dokoupil Made The Cut & Dropped the Ball (w/ Daniel Maté & Matt Lieb)
Subscribe to Bad Faith on Patreon to instantly unlock our full premium episode library: http://patreon.com/badfaithpodcast
The team from the hilarious and incisive Bad Hasbara podcast, Daniel Maté & Matt Lieb, take a break from calling out Zionist lies to weigh in on how adult circumcision recipient and Bari Weiss' new pick to anchor CBS Evening News Tony Dokoupil embarrassed himself right out of the gate both substantively and aesthetically. We also talk the Venezuela-Israel connection, and whether the left must hand it to the "antiwar" right now that so many of them have decided that capturing Greenland/Venezuela is putting America first. And we accidentally spend a solid chunk of the back half of this episode dating the politics of Apple TV's Plur1bus. Consider it a break from this punishing news cycle.
