Frustrating Frost

Nick is always sublime. David Frost has soft, wet, boomer takes. Bloke is incoherent and has cognitive dissonance when it comes to England and Englishness.
Essential Listening

Intelligent, common sense and funny. I suspect what a majority of the country think on most matters despite political tendencies.
Love this

I love Dixon Cox. Highlight of my podcast-listening week. Great show. Keeping me going in Kier Stasi’s Britain. 💕

My favourite podcast of the week (and I listen to A LOT of podcasts.) Thanks for all your hard work bringing us the news along with your brilliantly based opinions in 2024, it’s honestly so appreciated.
Dropped off
5 Feb
Think it’s a shame this has dropped off in quality. Nick ran a promotion on ‘weekly sceptic’ that you could email him for a free trial to paid part of this show - I emailed and didn’t receive the courtesy of a response. Following not following through on promotion this podcast comes out ad hoc as and when and seems like lot of the free section is discussing how good the paid section is. An alternative approach would be; stick to a schedule, answer emails when you put out promotions, put out good free content and that will encourage paid subscribers

Nick, great show with Paul again. Good bants also insights. You like each other and it makes for a good listen.
Current Wasters!
06/12/2024
Who in their right mind would decide to broadcast to the masses, only to spend the rest of their days obsessively checking reviews and comments? It turns what could be an interesting person into a one-dimensional bore, and the show into something as enjoyable as a gall stone. And Paul Cox doesn’t help. I strained so hard to catch a single interesting comment, but alas too well, I got zero. What a pair of wasters! If you pay me £5 Nick I’ll write a better review. It’s only the price of a pint you looser.
Funny yet important 😜

I’m really glad you’ve gone topical Nick; popular plus obscure indie band references that I appreciate , plus interesting and discursive stuff on culture plus literature. I do hope you realise that standing up for the white working class in the way you have will have consequences , because they are going to be coming for you brother Bless you for remembering where you’re from , and not forgetting your duty to stand up for disadvantaged people I admire Toby, his work ethic , and his causes .But you’ve done the right thing in separating yourself from his more centrist position Finally, please don’t go too far down the paying for content path ; my sons plus loads of his teens and early twenty mates really like the things you talk about You’re becoming really important to these lads Keep up the great work

A resentful little man, an embarrassment to the right. Just another failed comedian who decided to become a “commentator”. Slop.
Unsustainable
31/07/2024
I used to really look forward to your podcasts but now the harsh cut off for the paid content makes them unlistenable. You claim to have invented Triggernometry podcast and you really should listen to how they deal with the change to paid content. Until there is a podcast aggregation channel paying £5 per month for each podcast is totally unsustainable as you will see if you look at the Netflix model, which is far more relevant than your London pint analogy. Good luck with your podcast Nick, but I’ve unsubscribed.
