Recensioni dei clienti
Often interesting but...
This is understandably a mixed bag but rather often interesting. One thing though is really difficult to tolerate...how can they be so inept at pronouncing with at least a minimum respect towards the original language any foreign words the readers come across. And these are not usually Pashto, Korean or other admittedly complex sounding languages...rather French, Italian or Spanish stuff. The other day I was listening to a piece on art forgery and it was physically painful to hear any single artist name terribly mishandled... A bit of effort would make listening more enjoyable.
Good quality but...
The Guardian is a confused beast. It's changed concern over the years and struggles with its new role as the bastion of 'wokenes' in the UK. This, unfortunately, colours much of its high quality journalism so that if you don't wish to be preached at but would like to enjoy the journalism minus an excessive of ideology, you really have to pick and choose from the episodes on offer..
