Freshwater Five - Brilliant journalism
I was totally gripped by this in-depth story about the so called Freshwater Five case. Anushka is awesome. She always asks the questions that I want to hear. Her no nonsense approach makes even the quite tricky subjects easy to understand and always interesting. If you’ve not listed to this series yet then you need to.
The sound design is sooo good

Unfortunately maybe I end up listening to the background sound and applauding rather than concentrating on the conversation. I just love this podcast
Anushka Asthana
After listening to this podcast for a year or so I feel as though I know her and she feels like a mate now, just brill. But today she got the run around from the BBC.
Yesterday - a recap
Hi guys. I have followed your podcast for a month now and I am puzzled about the discrepanze between the name of the podcast and the content. Last week you aired the Trump-tour to the border a day later than other podcasts and news shows on radio or in print. Today you air your own story about Muslims in China three or four days after you published the story online. And this is a story you total ownership to. What is the thinking behind this? Is it that people need to hear about news and actualities a couple of days later than they read about them? 😊 A recap so to speak? In that case, just change the name of the podcast.
