Great show
I only realised how much I like LNL when I realised it was the one podcast on which I was up to date. Phillip is amazing with his wit and intelligence. It is always interesting
Intelligent entertaining insightful political
I have been walking my dog to Philip for 7 years and Cloe and I both appreciate him
Wunderbar!
Philip Adams' podcast keeps me sane in an increasingly fractured world his calm intelligence never ceases to soothe. I have had the joy of listening to this show regularly since back in the old radio days some 19 years ago. Thank you Philip, from the bottom of my heart. Long may you and LNL thrive!
