Customer Reviews
A Listener since episode one!
A regular weekly dose of optimism to keep the doom and gloom away! Ed Miliband seems like a lovely intelligent man and far too nice to ever have been PM and his co-host Geoff Lloyd is witty and self-deprecating.
Big ideas to improve the world are interspersed with funny and personal stories about black bean soup, Speedos, And tricycles but unfortunately we never got to hear the end of the Leisure Centre story.
My goal in life is a selfie with Ed, but not Geoff as he is self proclaimed anti-social. :-)
Whatever is this, but this is it
This is your best discussion. Keep it up. The passion and candour of Ed M resonated effectively.
