Sahir Hussain
If we were uncool, we'd say it's a podcast about politics, sport and culture at the end of the world. But we're podcasters now. The LEFT AT HOME podcast is honestly a terrible, derivative idea. But since you're here, pull up a seat and treat yourself to dramatic reads of all the cool tweets we found for you. Hosted and produced by Sahir Hussain (@Sahir_HT). John Clifford (@JohnTwoots) is the cat of the show.
Episode 5 - Men at Work - 19/11/21
Yeah, don’t listen to this one. The boys are (finally) back, and a lot has happened since… ummm… September? Was that the last episode? Write in and let us know. We recap like maybe four of the things that have happened in the meantime, with all your favourites in the firing line: we’ve got Wes Streeting, Cara Delevingne, Alec Baldwin, Buzz Lightyear, Chris Pratt, Mulan and many, many more. John’s a Liberal Democrat. LEFT AT HOME is Sahir Hussain (@Sahir_HT) and John Clifford (@JohnTwoots). Follow us on Twitter for more updates at @LeftatHomePod.

Episode 4 - Post-Colonial Petite Mort - 03/09/2021
Your boys are back, and back in the habit as we plummet into another Afghanistan discussion, but not before swerving wildly through Kanye, Ronaldo, Gove and Wetherspoons news. Later, we’re joined by a celebrity guest, who brings some well needed constructive advice for Keir Starmer’s nosediving political project, where we could previously only dismiss, smear and rebuke him. Because Labour’s problems ultimately lie with us. And now you.

Episode 3 - RIP Geronimo - 20/08/2021
Disclaimer: In today’s episode, we had an unanticipated and lengthy discussion about the situation in Afghanistan and the United States’ 20 year military campaign in the country. While we try and stay light on the particularly gruesome details, it was difficult to avoid. We do hope you are able to listen and that you enjoy the episode, but in case you would rather skirt this section of our conversation, it begins at approx. 35:40 and ends at approx. 55:40 (CW: war, torture, rape).  This week, following one of John’s trademark Clegg-pilled meltdowns, the boys discuss transphobic ghosts, Labour’s assault on South American wildlife and how we’re smarter and cooler than Dominic Raab, and so are you! There’s also a little quiz in store.  Some resources for supporting trans led organisations, groups and actions: https://transrightsuk.carrd.co/ Andrew Quilty’s piece in The Intercept last year, describing some of the US’s covert, CIA-led death squad operations in Afghanistan in the late phase of the war: https://theintercept.com/2020/12/18/afghanistan-cia-militia-01-strike-force/ Sahir’s Alpaca Corner:  Geronimo, striking a pose: https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/976/cpsprodpb/450D/production/_119877671_hi069295453.jpg The eyes do still sparkle: https://images.theconversation.com/files/416321/original/file-20210816-27-wfasje.jpg?ixlib=rb-1.1.0&rect=0%2C0%2C2995%2C1998&q=45&auto=format&w=926&fit=clip Offering a rare smile in these dark times: https://i.guim.co.uk/img/media/cf48672926597741d3227ca04208568fddc00dd8/0_100_3000_1800/master/3000.jpg?width=445&quality=45&auto=format&fit=max&dpr=2&s=d54c3f5749498c239404fd675758eed9  LEFT AT HOME is Sahir Hussain (@Sahir_HT) and John Clifford (@JohnTwoots).

Episode 2 - A Question of Sport - 13/08/2021
Did you know that town planning used to be an Olympic sport? As a Lib Dem, John knows a lot of weird facts about town planning. The boys return, vaxxed and ready to discuss a summer of sport that every one else has already forgotten.  We cover all your favourite sports: pistol duelling, live pigeon shooting, (competitive) plunge for distance, the 3,000 meter steeple chase and association walking.

Episode 1 - Stone Cold Ian Austin - 30/07/2021
The boiz are back? The boiz are here? The boys. After a dysfunctional and Catholicism-heavy intro, we discuss the Jair Bolsonaro's diaphragm, oesophagus, small colon, large colon, stomach, religion, political views and sleeping positions, before veering wildly between rants on Keir The Rock Starmer and friend of the pod Ian Austin, the Dudley Rattlesnake.
