Customer Reviews
Gráinne Maguire
They’re all good but Gráinne Maguire absolutely made my walk back from the station today, I was laughing randomly out loud to strangers. Thanks all
Paper cuts
Chantel Really! Ditch her. Can’t listen to her stupidity.
I love the laughter
As an avid - too avid - follower of politics podcasts, Paper Cuts is very often my go-to podcasts particularly when I can’t face the way serious issues are discussed elsewhere for the time-being. Sure. Paper Cuts doesn’t shy away but always manages to find fun in the bizarre world of the U.K. press. When Alex von Tunzelmann and Miranda Sawyer get going I can’t help but get drawn into their laughter.
