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!
Good listening

I do like keeping up to date with current affairs and is always nice to have a more in depth investigation. Good to listen to stories that I wouldn’t necessarily read online/in print - press play, earphones in, head out for a long walk or bike ride. Minor snag - for some reason my iPod has stopped downloading the newest episodes. Started a while back but I just thought the podcast had taken a break. Only after checking again, did I find several months of podcasts. Tried unfollowing for a bit then resubscribing but it’s still refusing to update me or automatically download. All my other podcasts update fine, so not sure where the problem is. Knock a star off because of this but otherwise it’s a 5* review.

Super woke & politically it’s a extremely liberal biased “news” podcast.
Superb - still
