Brilliant!

I’m afraid I’m not a big fan of the magazine, but this podcast is marvellous. Listening to the stories and the analysis after is so interesting…legendary!

No advertisements

I have used these to fall asleep for years (as well as listen in the day). The irritating new advertisements ruin that possibility. Must EVERYTHING have adverts? So many quiet and reflective podcasts are now being ruined by this. I know there’s no point complaining but am doing it anyway.
