Customer Reviews
Great stuff
Always an enjoyable listen. Brings light on issues that otherwise i’d be none the wiser on and presents it in an accessible and well balanced fashion. Maybe you don’t agree with all viewpoints but you see where the arguments are coming from and thats more that can be said for a lot of shows of this nature. Keep up the good work, and bring back John!
Definitely 5 stars
Oh no I think I accidentally tapped 4 stars! Brilliant approach to journalism, keeps me engaged in the news in a thoughtful way when I am otherwise tempted to shut off from it.
Great podcast with some sound issues
I’ve made it through 300 episodes of The Week Unwrapped, and have found it to be informative and thought provoking, with a good balance of guests. Thank you! Lately, there have been some sound issues - some guests are quite difficult to hear, and the levels of the podcast compared to the adverts are really mismatched. Turn the volume of the guests up a bit and the volume of the adverts down a lot please!
