Avis des utilisateurs
Brilliant work
I listen to about 25 hours of podcasts every week. That is to say, I have consumed a lot of material to compare this to. Every single episode of resistance is strong, interesting, well researched, funny and compelling. Full stop. It’s the education we didn’t (but should have!) received in schools.
I am so grateful this kind of work is out there and accessible to all of us. Thank you for the work you do, it is absolutely brilliant.
Outstanding
Beautiful, powerful, and engaging journalism. Each episode exemplifies near perfect storytelling. An absolute must-listen.
Excellent Podcast
10/10. This is such a well-done podcast. One of my favourites. The Borders Between Us episodes is one of the most honest and vulnerable thing I’ve ever heard. Very moving. Must listen.
