P. S. Doff ,

Yep.

I just listened to the Dr Ashley Frawley episode. Absolutely fascinating, particularly as I count myself as a leftie but am sick to death of the way it has taken the wrong road and turned on its base. In the course of googling her work, I also found that she’s a bit of a babe and so I had a brief daydream where she seizes my means of production* and we live happily ever after. Keep up the good work!

* I suspect this is one of the few podcasts where such a crude remark won’t get me cancelled!

Class

Love the regulars like Rev. Jamie Franklin, Rory & the GB chaps. Carl Benjamin is simply sublime every time. Keep up the good work Nick.

Nick and roaringly good Rory

Great work Nick, exceptional episode with the frustrating but always worthwhile Rory this week. Segment subjects were bang on and well debated. Thanks for being my commute companion this week.
