Before we go any further, I realise that many of you must have been listening to this podcast thinking,

I really like this. I really like the sound of the New European, but I'm not quite sure I want to

spend loads of money to find out if I do like it. So I have got a proposal for you, a whole month

of the New European for one pound. If you like it, you can carry on paying five pounds a month.

That's a little more than a pound a week. But if you've been sitting there thinking I'd like to get

the New European, but I'm not sure I really want to spend the money, now's the time to go for it.

Just one pound and it's yours for a month. Go to the new European.com.ukuk

forward slash two mats. This offer is the best you'll get anywhere and it's exclusive to two

mats podcast listeners. And you can cancel any time you like. So it's an unrepeatable offer to

dip your toe into a whole new world of

journalism. Welcome to our regular question and answer session. Our happy Sunday. Our happy Sunday

where we spread joy and answers to the nation. First question, Matt. On Jordan Peterson,

whom we went to see and had a kind of PTSD account of on the poor few weeks back.

This is from Roland.

Thank you, Roland.

His popularity, in my view, is due to several factors.

His followers' sense of despair at the modern world.

His followers love of simplicity and blame.

An apparent, sometimes real sense that liberalism struggles with right and wrong and responsibility. I agree, he's a crock of shite,

says Roland. But apart from humour, how can such charlatans and populists be countered? How do we

make nuance and complexity attractive in an age of slogans? Very good question.

Thank you. Well, and forgive me for sticking on the thing you've said we have to move on from,
