Theologian and cultural commentator Jonathan Pageau joins The Winston Marshall Show for a profound discussion on meaning, myth, and the crumbling foundations of the post-war consensus.

Pageau argues that the secular order built after WWII—rooted in liberalism, materialism, and the rejection of transcendent values—is collapsing under the weight of its own contradictions. As old narratives dissolve, chaos rushes in to fill the void: identity politics, technocracy, and ideological extremism.

They explore the spiritual cost of modernity, the dangers of trying to build a society without sacred stories, and why the breakdown of shared mythos is leaving the West vulnerable to civilizational decay.

All this—rituals, relativism, revolution, and the desperate search for meaning in a world that has forgotten its soul…

Documentary maker and journalist Tim Samuels joins The Winston Marshall Show for a thoughtful and challenging conversation on masculinity, identity, and the unique crisis facing white men in the modern West due to DEI.

Samuels explores how white working-class men are increasingly left behind—struggling with poor mental health, social disconnection, and a sense of being vilified in mainstream discourse.

They discuss the collapse of traditional male roles, the decline of industrial jobs, and the lack of public sympathy for a group often portrayed as privileged, yet facing rising suicide rates and dwindling prospects.

All this— forgotten communities, identity taboos, and the silent suffering of men who no longer recognise the world they’re in…

Author and broadcaster Matthew Syed joins me on The Winston Marshall Show for a sharp takedown of the post-colonial guilt underlying the decision making of Britain’s governing elite, Britain’s looming debt crisis, the case for diversity and the decline of reason in Western discourse.

Syed dismantles the lazy assumptions behind identity politics, arguing that equality of opportunity has been hijacked by a culture obsessed with group identity. He warns that diversity, when divorced from excellence, becomes a hollow virtue—and that critical thinking is being replaced by moral posturing.

Syed delves into Britain's racial discourse, the myth of systemic whiteness, and the dangers of importing American-style race politics into a very different British context.

All this—taboo truths, intellectual cowardice, the tyranny of groupthink, and the fight to restore reason in an age of ideological madness…

Historian and broadcaster Rafe Heydel-Mankoo joins The Winston Marshall Show for a sweeping conversation on the slow-motion collapse of Britain—its monarchy, its military, and its moral compass.

Rafe warns that the UK is facing a national identity crisis, accelerated by mass immigration, multicultural fragmentation, and a political class ashamed of British heritage. He lays out how constitutional monarchy, once a unifying symbol, is being hollowed out by a culture of cynicism and erasure.

They explore the decline of Britain’s armed forces, the woke takeover of national institutions, and the spiritual vacuum left by the abandonment of Christianity in public life.

All this—lost sovereignty, collapsing values, elite betrayal, and whether Britain can recover its sense of purpose before it’s too late….

Raja Miah joins The Winston Marshall Show a harrowing interview exposing the full extent of political capture, community intimidation, and media complicity behind Britain's grooming gang scandal.

Raja Miah unpacks how taxpayer-funded NGOs, local councillors, and powerful religious leaders colluded to silence whistleblowers and gaslight victims. He reveals how the very institutions meant to uphold justice instead protected abusers, weaponised identity politics, and created an environment where truth became taboo.

From secret Labour WhatsApp groups to police complicity and vote-harvesting operations, Miah paints a damning picture of a political system that chose self-preservation over accountability.

All this…community betrayal, ideological capture, targeted harassment, and the brave resistance trying to break the silence...

Former Royal Marine and war correspondent James Glancy joins The Winston Marshall Show to expose the forgotten frontlines in the global war against the West—from the collapse of South Africa to the decline of Britain itself.

Glancy paints a stark picture of South Africa’s state failure: rampant corruption, electricity blackouts, water scarcity, violent crime, and a government captured by radical Marxist factions. He warns of the Chinese Communist Party’s growing grip on African nations through arms deals, infrastructure control, and soft power dominance. But the rot isn’t limited to the Global South.

Turning to the UK, Glancy sounds the alarm on the surge in illegal small boat crossings across the Channel—highlighting how Britain’s borders are no longer secure, and its military forces, once the pride of the West, are being hollowed out by budget cuts, political cowardice, and institutional decay.

We explore how both nations—one emerging, the other formerly imperial—are now plagued by similar crises: elite complacency, ideological capture, and the erosion of national identity.

All this—CCP power plays, Britain’s vanishing navy, border chaos, racial politics, and the silent unravelling of Western civilisation…

Author and satirist Andrew Doyle joins The Winston Marshall Show to unpack the death throes of the woke movement—and why the culture war is entering a dangerous new phase.

Doyle makes the case that wokeness, as we’ve known it over the past 15 years, is collapsing—from the fall of DEI in major corporations to legal blows against gender ideology and the quiet retreat of activists once loud and proud. But he warns that authoritarianism never truly dies—it mutates.

The two dive into the roots of wokeness in postmodern theory and Marxist identity politics, the alliance between Islamists and progressives, and why institutions like the NHS, civil service, and comedy world became infected with ideology pushed by just 8% of the population.

Andrew also defends free speech by arguing that provocative art like Kneecap's performances and Kanye West's controversial song should be protected as essential expressions of artistic freedom.

All this—non-crime hate incidents, Islamophobia laws, comedy censorship, deep state subversion, and the long war between liberty and control…

Theologian and First Things editor R.R. Reno joins The Winston Marshall Show for a sweeping intellectual conversation on nationalism, identity, and the postwar consensus that still haunts the West.

Reno argues that the true crisis isn’t a conspiracy—but a consensus forged after WWII: a fear of nationalism, religion, and moral conviction, shaped by the horrors of Auschwitz and Hiroshima. He calls this the age of “weak gods”—a culture hollowed out by relativism, therapeutic liberalism, and meaning without truth.

From Karl Popper and the Open Society to the cult of DEI and the rise of populist rebellion, Reno makes the case that Western civilization is suffering from a kind of civilizational PTSD—and that only the return of “strong gods” like loyalty, love, and faith can offer redemption.

All this—postwar ideology, the collapse of civic trust, mass migration, shared mythos, and the spiritual malaise of modern life…
