Customer Reviews
Balanced take on Liberal issues
Really appreciate this podcast- it’s a very balanced and open minded podcast but focused on issues which are interesting for any liberal social democrat.
Would be even better if Mark would invest in a better microphone!
Love the Lib Dem view
Although a LibDem voice the guests provide a balanced view from the guests and goes to show there a broad range within the party
Finally
It’s so refreshing to have a Lib Dem focussed podcast which advances the liberal cause
