I love it! I have listened every day for years - Guardian’s Today in Focus is part of my routine. The stories you tell, the questions you ask and the character of your podcasts have made me cry, laugh and inspired me. So much so, I am now pursuing a career as a journalist. Thank you for all you do!

The Guardian's Today in Focus is my favourite podcast along with The New York Times' The Daily. I've listened to Today in Focus every day since 2019, initially with presenters Anushka and Rachel and now with Michael Safi and Helen Pidd. It's my daily dose of balanced and fact-checked journalism.
Incredible podcast
