Great journalism, interesting subject, but quite unpleasant to listen to because of the reader’s speech. I suggest reading a transcript instead.
One of the best

MTV 40th podcast

Omitting Michael Nesmith (of the Monkees) from the MTV creation myth is worse than weak. Nesmith sold the idea to Warner. Letting those smarmy suits (unchallenged!) take credit for another person’s idea - it diminishes the BBC.

Usually outstanding programs which are made in the tradition of quality broadcasting. I like how the BBC Documentary features worldwide stories with interesting voices and wide-ranging subjects; stories of Iran done by BBC Persian service is a good exemplar of this variety. I’m also pleased to hear quality voicing. Vocal fry is particularly ubiquitous among North American podcasters. BBC’s broadcasters, such as Tim Whewell, might have nuanced voices but do not detract from the subject matter and I’m never distracted by a Documentary voice
Alaska PDF

Great podcast about how Alaska uses its resource wealth. Malaysia has a similar one when I worked there for 2.5 years. Both are models for other nations.
Very well done

I wish there were more documentaries podcasts that deal with these issues that affect the normal individuals in our society today.
Uninformed presenter Neil MacGregor
2019-03-13
As a constant listener and a Canadian living in Britain, I very much looked forward to recent episode “Canada and how it sees Britain”. Unfortunately, I was incredibly disappointed that the host not only failed to interview an Indigenous guest but actually used the derogatory word “Indian” to describe West Coast Indigenous art. Given Britain’s colonial history in Canada, including the mistreatment of the Indigenous population which continues to have a deep impact on settler/Indigenous relationships today, I expected a fair representation of that perspective in the episode. Furthermore, the episode’s discussion of Chinese migrant laborers and their role in building Canada’s railroad leaves out any mention of those laborers’ experience of exploitation and mistreatment in Canada. Shame on Mr. MacGregor and his team for such an insensitive and ill-informed presentation. If Britain truly wishes to reflect, it must face its colonial legacy of racist institutions which continue to scar the Commonwealth and beyond.
That surrogate club episode is brain damaged
