Informative, good interviewing style

Despite living in Peterborough for 30+ years and thinking of myself as politically engaged, I’ve just realised how little I know about local politics. So far I’ve listened to Shaz Navaz and Paul Bristow interviews. Questions are well prepared, and interviewees are allowed to make their points uninterrupted, but the interviewer does come back to challenge them very effectively. Good work and I look forward to listening to the others.
