For The Many

2022-03-01

A-L Kozma

This is my one utterly unmissable podcast. The cheerful sparring between former Home Secretary Jacqui Smith and journalist Iain Dale restore my faith in humanity no matter how wretched the news. Over and over again these two friendly, bawdy, politicos demonstrate how convivial conversation entertains and educates. Like all the best radio they have gags and inside jokes and just hearing them fall apart laughing is worth the price of admission - a tonic for the soul. The smart analysis is a bonus. I’ve produced current affairs radio for thirty years and I’m envious of what these two pull off every week (amazingly on top of their full time gigs.) Well, my week would be poorer without For The Many. Keep it up you two & thank you for all you do. Anna-Liza Kozma
