New Sceptical Podcasting Platform Launched

by Toby Young
25 January 2024 7:00 AM

Nick Dixon and I have launched a new podcasting and events business called Based. Check it out here.

If you go to the website, you can sign up for ad-free, extended versions of the Weekly Sceptic, the ability to comment on each episode, the opportunity to participate on monthly Zoom calls with Nick and me, free tickets to our live shows and the chance to have dinner with us. Go to our sign-up page to see what’s available in the different membership tiers. Membership starts for as little as £5 a month.

The extended version of the podcast, which is about 20-minutes longer than the free version, isn’t available anywhere else.

To coincide with the launch of the new platform, we’ve also launched a Weekly Sceptic YouTube channel, where you can see a free video version of the podcast. (Please subscribe to our YouTube channel so we can start monetising it.) As with the audio, the only place you can see the ad-free, extended version is on Based.

At present, the only podcast on Based is the Weekly Sceptic, but the plan is to add more as we go along. That means if you become a member, not only will you have access to the extended episodes of our podcast – audio and video – but others, too. Like the Weekly Sceptic, they will focus on news and current affairs, but seen through a sceptical lens and coloured by irreverent, British humour. By the end of the year we hope to have at least half a dozen podcasts on the platform.

The podcasting charts are currently dominated by normie, centrist offerings like the Rest is Politics, many of them made by Gary Lineker’s company. (To date, the only non-woke podcast to break the top five in Apple’s British politics podcast chart is the Weekly Sceptic.) The aim of Based is to create a platform for alternative voices that aren’t usually heard on the mainstream media.

Please do sign up – or simply make a donation to support our efforts. Thanks in advance.

A sensible move, as Trudeau has done in Canada, Starmer when in power will deplatform podcasters and use lawfare against any dissenters.

William Caxton comes to mind in that case. Good old print to the rescue. That and graffiti. They’ll never shut us up.

At a guess I imagine podcasts are regulated by Ofcom.

Good luck; hope it goes well.

Will Toby Young become the British Joe Rogan?

I wish them luck too. And it makes sense of Toby’s more cuckish comments on the 2020 election and his denial of the Hunter Biden laptop, the censorship of the story by the FBi and big tech under false pretences (rUsSiA hOaX) and the shutting of the new York post for 2 weeks on twitter during the election. Never mind the drop box nonsense, never ending counts and stopping counting votes in Georgia. He has to stay on terms with the powers that be to an extent otherwise they’ll just run him off the road for being “far right”.

Best wishes to Toby and Nick.

I have just subscribed to the YouTube channel and I will check out the website later today.

I hope all goes well.

Is there a special rate for those of us who already regularly donate to the Daily Sceptic and the FSU?
