The first of our new Spartacus League podcasts. This features Roger Mackenzie, the international editor of the Morning Star, and Aston Villa fan.
The podcast was recorded just after the first reports of the explosion at al-Ahli Arab hospital in the north of the Gaza Strip, so we talked about that and the situation in Gaza more than we originally intended; but it all fitted in with the themes and the intent of the podcast.
