Snowmuncher ,

Probably the best UK mainstream media political podcast

Steven Edginton is excellent. The Robert Tombs episode however not so much. What a naive old fool he is.

SouthLakelander ,

Always enlightening

One of the most enlightening podcasts available on modern history and politics. Stephen Edginton asks intelligent, well informed questions and is a major asset to the Telegraph.

TSD Review ,

Excellent examples of dialogue!

A great podcast with strong voices and views, suggest you bring on David Bahnsen and explores his book Full-Time: Work and the Meaning of Life.
