Fantastic in depth journalism from Helen
Essential

A essential part of my day. The broad range of topics discussed keeps listeners engaged and informed. I regularly encourage others to listen who comment on feeling overwhelmed by current events and what to focus on. This show facilitates a broad understanding of current affairs and alleviates overload of the 24hr news cycle.
Even more love for Helen Pidd

Always a pleasure to listen to her unpack very difficult questions in a uniquely soft, unbiased and well structured way. I am sure her interview style allows the people she is interviewing feel more free to speak openly. You are a gem
