Customer Reviews

I was worried I would not enjoy the new format as a long term listener …. I really am impressed its given it a new burst of energy really enjoyed todays very interesting. Well done guys
Rapey
Please don’t call this ‘sloppy seconds’ - it’s rapey & turns my stomach
I adore this podcast in all its forms!
Other political podcast duos owe so much to Iain and Jacqui - the originals and the best. I always hope for maximum length and girth, and they often oblige!
(Also actually loved deputy Carolyn Quinn - funny and fiery! Absolutely loved their live ep with Pascal too - what a thoughtful, interesting man.)
