Customer Reviews
Iain Anderson and stonewall being intellectually bogus
Great interview probing Iain Anderson on the toxic and dishonest narratives being peddled by Stonewall - love it, particularly liked Nick's use of the phrases intellectually bogus and false parrallel. A must listen m.
Brilliant
Great interview with Tony Danker! Nick really has an excellent way of gaining rounded insights into his subjects!

Probably the best political program EVER!!
Just listened to the latest interview with Sharon Graham. We need her running the Labour Party. Would be the best tribute!!
