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. We want to share with you a teaser of a podcast that I think you'll like. It draws on many

of the same themes we do here at the two mats. It's hosted by a guest you will have heard from one of

our previous episodes who also writes occasionally for the new European, Jason Pack.

Jason hosts the Disorder podcast alongside former British diplomat, Alexander Hall Hall.

And the pod tackles small and easy questions like, how did the world get so disordered?

What are the fundamental principles behind our current era of geopolitics?

And it tackles these questions from a centrist,

Atlantisist, anti-Brexit and genuinely pro-common-sense perspective.

Sounds good.

The first full season of episodes are out now.

You can find them by searching disorder or by following the link in the show notes.

And in this week's episode, Jason and Alex take a hard-nosed look at what the EU does
