Brilliant
Where would I be without LNL - first discovered in the 90s on RN 4pm repeats - I have been an addicted Gladdy and now an avid Poddy - I listen in my studio whilst working - so thank you for your company and all the wonderful topics and contributors - over all these years!
Always interesting
Those of you who don’t listen to Phil because you think he’s a rabid lefty are missing out. He has his views, and the decency to allow others to have theirs. The variety of guests and pleasant interview style make this a must.
On the other hand - having Amy Remeikis and Janis Varoufakis as a double bill is tedious and making me want to seek 2nd and 3rd opinions. Hearing ’nuclear is unaffordable’ from them makes me think it could be a goer after all. I need some Sky News for rebalancing after their tosh.
All the best in retirement Philip.
Margo Kingston interview
