Campbell is a journalist and political strategist, who served as the communications chief for Tony Blair.

A former member of the Labour Party, Campbell was expelled after he voted for the Liberal Democrats in the 2019 European elections.

He served as Conservative international development secretary and prisons minister under Theresa May, and was a member of parliament for around nine years.

Former UK deputy prime minister Michael Heseltine was the podcast's first guest.

In such episodes, Stewart sometimes discusses the interview at the end with Campbell, without the relevant guest being present.
