Witty and well-informed

Whether they are discussing UK politics or the US variety, these hosts are always lively - and worth the listen. They also do excellent interviews with newsmakers, and never let politicians off the hook.
Good for UK analysis, losing its way in the US

Great podcast to keep up to date on the UK, where there aren’t enough good political analysis podcasts. Starting to tune out as they spend too much time on the US lately, which is already oversaturated with lots of better podcasts. They annoyingly clog their own feed with Sports Agents “bonus episodes” that are just ads.
Not Journalists. Activists.

All 3 of them present themselves as journalists. This is false. They are far left activists.
Great show

Insightful, interesting and they address specific issues and then expand the discussion to give a broader view of how that issue effects the UK and the world. Plus - the hosts have great chemistry.
Still talking about Andrew!

So I went down the rabbit hole and watched an episode of News Agents which had popped up on my feed. I learned about the new limited series of Scandal and quickly binged it this weekend. This led me back to read up on the journalists and do a few more episodes of the podcast. Although I’m pretty burnt out on the royal family, it’s really like the train wreck you can’t stop watching. Love the podcast and all you lot with a special shout out to Emily. Best regards, Carla J. Atlanta, Georgia
Great for expats

My bride and I have lived and worked in the US for 40 years and we love this show. We like the coverage of US politics, and we like to keep in touch with UK issues We particularly like the banter between the presenters. Keep up the good work
Bad and Dumb

Sopel isn’t terrible, though he clearly leans left. He occasionally offers good political analysis. Goodall is incapable of understanding why anyone would ever disagree with him. Maitlis is genuinely insufferable. Self-serious and daft, she rarely contributes anything of interest to the discussion. All three are absolutely wretched on American politics, for what it’s worth.
US Politics
08/05/2024
I listened to the News Agents for UK news, but if the investigating and reporting is the same analysis provided for US news, then it’s rubbish. Lewis and Emily appear to only review memes and headlines to report on conservative US politics. It makes the News Agents nothing more than The View with a posh English accent. I’ll have to be content with fake news with an American accent. I don’t have the patience to tolerate English ignorance and narrow mindedness.
