Within Reason is a brand new weekly podcast. If you like the series, please find it on Spotify and Apple Podcasts, and consider financially supporting it at support.withinreasonpodcast.com/

Konstantin Kisin is a satirist, comedian, journalist, and co-host of the Triggernometry Podcast. He recently went viral for a speech delivered at the Oxford Union arguing that "wokeness has gone too far", which has since been viewed over 100,000,000 times across various social media platforms.

Konstantin talks to host Alex O'Connor about the limits of free speech, whether he considers himself to be a conservative or right-wing, and whether there can be a sensible case made for reparations for historical injustices such as slavery.

    It warms my heart that "I don't want to Cathy Newman you" is a thing.
  • @fedfoofy
    I love that you give enough pushback to make it an interesting conversation. Some other channels basically do interviews where the guest just promotes his ideas without criticism.
  • @zoyboy1914
    Loved your devil‘s advocate approach and loved Konstantin‘s measured responses, outstanding work gentlemen!
  • @ArnoldSig
    Alex is refreshingly articulate, and is excellent at putting very complex and abstract ideas to words. I think Konstantin enjoyed being challenged in such a way and made for a great interview.
  • @numinous2506
    Long form conversational interview style is probably the very best way to deep dive into a specialized topic. I've never seen this channel before but I'm no stranger to this type of content. This was smooth and easy to listen to. Transitions from topic to topic were re-engaging. You weren't talking down to the audience nor speaking in highly coded jargon. Well done.
  • Anyone who doesn't understand the difference between physical and verbal violence has never been hit hard enough.
  • @deancranley2241
    That was the definition of a good faith conversation. Thoroughly enjoyable, well done to both men.
  • @JFRiley
    Just found your channel, great interview, very well done. Cheers from America!
  • @geislar7682
    @CosmicSkeptic I will always admire your ability to manage and steer a conversation so that it remains civil and respectful. The world needs more like yourself.
  • @mism847
    It's been a pleasure listening to this podcast, very thought-provoking and entertaining, especially due to the lack of toxicity that is prevalent on the internet.
  • @nicolepreou6754
    Excellent conversation. Great to hear this depth of debate.
  • @AurorXZ
    Utterly refreshing. Thank you for this conversation.
  • @Herodotus77
    Brilliant. I always enjoy your solo videos, but your interview skills are outstanding and they just keep getting better!
  • @AgnesPerditaX
    I like Konstantin and his views (and Francis as well) more and more. Really interesting. Thank you!
  • @philipswain4122
    It’s so refreshing to see a polite, intelligent discussion. Great guest Alex. I’ve followed Mr Kisin for several years.
  • Alex you should mention the name of your guest in the title along with everything they do and where they can be found in the notes.
  • @anotherblonde
    The beauty of podcasts is hearing a full banquet of ideas without interruption and sensorship (except for ads that you can click through). Thank you guys
