Historian Aaron Good explains how the Western Big Oil corporations that dominated the global crude industry, known as the "Seven Sisters," had significant influence in the government of US President Dwight Eisenhower and inspired the CIA's first ever coup, the 1953 putsch against Iran's elected Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh.

How oil corporations influenced US President Eisenhower and CIA coup in Iran

Ash is joined by Novara's own Aaron Bastani, Moya Lothian-McLean, Michael Walker and James Butler to talk about what was bugging them in the year 2022.

From landlordism to normativity and a nasty turn in identity politics and from the declining fortunes of Europe to the absolute state of the discourse, the Novara team summarises the year that was and looks forward to another bumper year of fighting back.

Happy New Year!

The One Where Jake Gets Attacked Again

After spending Too Long In Exile, we are now BACK ON TOP. Following a brief film chat, Jack, Yair, Geraint and FFF dive straight into this political world with discussion of the latest lies of #SirSmearStarmer and his goon James O'Brien, Woke Elon's latest attempt to silence Jack for his right-wing views, the anti-democratic (Starmer was there) coronation, and - most importantly of all - Mike Gapes' readmission to the Labour Party. Finally, we spend about 45 straight minutes riffing on the historic Yusuf Islam/Cat Stevens-Salman Rushdie beef.

Once More Into The Abyss w/ Sinan Kose

Frequent RP guest Juliet Jacques returns to the show to expand on her 2020 Red Pepper article 'How Corbyn unmasked comedy' (https://www.redpepper.org.uk/how-corbyn-unmasked-comedy/) in a discussion of the generation of British comedians and satirists who emerged in the 1990s from under the wing of two titans, Chris Morris and Armando Iannucci, following their mock news show On The Hour's successful transition from radio to television as The Day Today.  We look at their many shows and films, the political milieu they came out of, their key collaborators, and ask when - or if - it all went wrong for these anti-establishment firebrands.
