The Overton Pod

Treason is the word of the month, whether it’s Afrikaners telling on the ANC in the US, or a fractious meeting between Trump and Zelensky - many are incapable of understanding realpolitik. Enter Kanthan and Jonathan who this week discuss the details behind all of these claims, reflect on the acquittal of Peter Beale, and ask who really is running the DA?  Proudly brought to you by The Overton Press.
