Audiobook Release

I am thrilled to announce for the first time that The End of the American Empire is now available in audiobook format on Audible, Amazon and iTunes! Narrated by yours truly, this immersive experience spans over 8 hours and 14 minutes, but took 70 hours to record! Grab your audio copy using this link or simply search on Audible, Amazon or iTunes. You can also listen to the audio trailer on our website or on Amazon. A huge shoutout to my friend, Micky Samworth, for producing the audiobook, and navigating the strict requirements of Amazon’s uploading process! I can’t wait for you all to dive in and share your thoughts! Happy listening.

Podcast Announcement

I had the honour of joining Bob Gatty, a distinguished journalist, political commentator, and former Washington press secretary, on his podcast, Lean to the Left. Our discussion, released on Monday, delves into pressing topics such as my perspective on America as an empire, the pervasive issue of greed in both politics and society, and the unsettling reality of potential civil unrest in America. This is a really good listen if I do say so myself, and I urge each and every one of you to tune in and discover more about the themes explored in my book, as well as gain valuable insights into the current state of American politics as we approach the pivotal 2024 election. You can find the episode on Spotify or watch it on YouTube! Additionally, you can read Bob’s reflections on the episode in his accompanying blog post.
