At first I was a yes, but reading the responses below there is minority, maybe a small one, but a minority of listeners that make a very good point: I come to the martyr made in the hope of a little informative yet a-political downtime. Your exhaustively researched casts are such a refreshing event in my listening life, I feel that to keep to the historical, the wild and the wonderful, would be best. Current affairs may be best left to Twitter, YouTube and the discussions of The Unravelling. It’s a no from me I think, but whatever you decide I will happily listen and absorb either way!

I’d be really interested to know the breakdown of responses between people who had followed the podcast for a while and people who started following after the Twitter thread.

Quite topical, considering the series DC has in production at the moment! Hard to seperate the man from the media, but I guess it’s important to know the content of the man who is drizzling honey into your ears for hours on end! It’s the slightly fringe perspective of DC’s work that lured me to Fear and Loathing, then hook line and sinker through the 100+ hrs of martyr made and unravelling. I don’t tweet, so I guess I will remain blissfully ignorant to the rest - to be honest I would prefer to know more of what DC has to teach than what he has to tweet! But there I am, a little bit old school for the pace of social media!
