Six more years: how long can Biden go on?

<div>On the podcast this week: <br><br><em>The Spectator’s</em> deputy editor Freddy Gray writes the cover piece looking ahead to the possibility of another 6 years of President Biden. He is joined by Amie Parnes, senior staff writer at<em> The Hill</em> and co-author of <em>Lucky: How Joe Biden barley won the presidency</em>, to discuss whether anyone can stop Biden running in 2024 (01:00). <br><br>Also this week: <br><br>In the magazine Fr Patrick Burke writes a moving tribute to Pope Benedict XVI. He joins the podcast to discuss Benedict’s intellectual legacy and what the Church gained from his theological work (16:05). We are also very lucky to have a special recording from Melanie McDonagh who dials in from St Peter’s Square to give her reflections on the late Pope’s funeral (29:43). <br><br>And finally: <br><br>In her article for <em>The Spectator </em>this week Tanith Carey, author of <em>Never Kiss a Man in a Canoe: Words of Wisdom from the Golden Age of Agony Aunts</em>, writes in celebration of the high-handed and unflinching advice of Victorian agony aunts. She is joined by <em>The Spectator’s</em> own agony aunt Mary Killen – aka Dear Mary – to consider whether today’s agony aunts are going soft (33:32). <br><br>Hosted by William Moore. <br><br>Produced by Oscar Edmondson. </div><p>Become a <em>Spectator </em>subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.
