Customer Reviews
Perfecto!
Who needs TV when podcasts are this good!
Enough with the begging
This used to be a great podcast but the quality has reduced rapidly since going daily and this is not helped by the constant begging for money from listeners. Enough!
Oh dear - another one gone.
I’d been listening to the podcast for a while but today’s show was disappointing. The first story was taken and commented on at face value. This is despite a wealth of evidence, incredibly easy to access, to suggest it was a stunt and widely misreported. The way this podcast dealt with it was either incompetent or dishonest. It lacked any fact checking and played into unpleasant tropes. Steering clear of this show from now on.
