More love for Helen Pidd

I agree Helen is a great podcast host - warm, humane journalism that enlightens and informs, and looks beyond the Westminster bubble
Helen Pidd is a fantastic host

I just wanted to put out a huge thank you to Helen for her really excellent journalism and also never beating around the bush with the more difficult topics in life and community. Her episodes on IVF and friendships x pregnancy were very important for people to hear but also show just how she talks to another level. Thank you Helen for all you do!
Why is AI so thirsty episode

I thought it was a mixed message that after the episode on the environmental impacts of AI there was an advert for Salesforce AI service - maybe better consider the ads you run on your episodes?

So very appreciative of all the hard work that goes into Today in Focus. Felt compelled to leave a review after listening to the episode about the eagles in Scotland. Have decided to increase my monthly contributions to The Guardian as a result.
