Customer Reviews
Missing negative feedback
Twice I have left slightly critical reviews of this show and both seem to have been removed or hidden.
Hardly surprising, really.
Very enjoyable, keep it up
I very much enjoyed the space episode! It was so interesting and such fun to listen to!
Yawn. Go hide your pension.
Shocking that he’s still so stuck in his ‘we won’ vote, that he even needs to make the Russia report a ‘fake news’ thing by the vehicle of a suitably selected guest. How about some actual real critique? Sell out. Pathetic.
