Customer Reviews
Great podcast for serious news, handled lightly
I have listened to today, explained since it’s very first episode and it’s one of a very few that I still make a point of catching every episode. Sean has a great presenting style and excellent guests. The topics are always highly relevant and timely and there’s barely an episode that doesn’t make me smile at some witticism or clever analysis. The ads are always entertaining and I love hearing from all the today, explained team - most of all Sean’s Mum who is just the best. The songs (haven’t heard one for a while though!) are very amusing and I love the fresh take on important events that today, explained always brings. Thank you to the whole team, I should have written this review many months ago. Truly love the show, please keep it up and thanks to the advertisers too, all the way from the Southern Hemisphere.
