    Zeitgeist Tapes - The Finale
    Aug 31 2025
    Sadly, this is the last episode of The Zeitgeist Tapes as Emma goes off to take up the full time role of Editor of LabourList and Steve valiantly continues to write his book on the Labour Party.

    In this episode, we pick out a few of our favourite episodes from the eight years of the show. We discuss our bizarre origin story and the unfortunate original naming convention.

    Read Steve's book that inspired the show:

  • The Spectator (Novel)

    The Spectator (Novel)
    Aug 27 2025
    This month after a somewhat hilarious mix up Emma and Steve read and discuss the Spectator - a Novel by Timothy Balding. This book has an odd format and may be too light on story as a result. Ultimately tries too hard to make answering the question "But what if the Daily Mail is actually awful?" an interesting one.

  • Conclave

    Conclave
    May 26 2025
    This month, slightly later than planned (or is timely) Emma and Steve discuss Conclave.

    The film has pretensions to high drama, but is it really just an Agatha Christie style novel set in the Catholic Church? Not so much a 'whodunnit' as a They all done something innit!.
