Dirty nappy ,

Good insight

Episode 19: I wonder will Ivan be receiving a kick back cheque from the Chinese or will it paid through revolut.

Used to love this show

Really disappointed with the podcast on ‘immigration once again’. It was really uncomfortable listening from Ivan. Just because discourse is becoming very negative, does not mean we all need to join that chorus in a race to the bottom.

Path to power

Enjoying this podcast…conscious of the good chemistry, however would be a tad more enjoyable if MC could let IY actually answer a few questions before cutting back in again 🤪… otherwise one of the better ones in play right now, great topics and insightful commentary from both hosts… sincere congrats to all involved…
