Customer Reviews
A lefty found a home
I’ve been a lefty my entire adult life. Tim has helped me find a home centre right pod. It challenges my rusted on position without demanding I change. I’d all but given up on finding a place that gives me space to think, be encouraged and feel able to rethink, affirm and yes even move a little.
Seamless transition from Charlie to Tim
The Bulwark remains, as always, sharp and informative. Tim has superbly picked up where Charlie left off. I do love the added soundtrack send off. Trip -Hopping with R.L Burnside made my morning.
Tim is a bad host.
I’m totally fed up with Tim being unable to adequately host. Stop interrupting your guests in the middle of a point to chip in some pointless aside in a vain attempt to be funny. Most of the time it just derails whatever they were saying and they never get back to the point they were making. If you can’t sit still and listen for like two minutes without interrupting your guests, then give up the hosting duties to someone who can actually be professional. I wanted to make this a one star review, but I’m giving Tim and extra star because at least he’s not JVL.
