Customer Reviews
Listen every day
This is the absolute best podcast on the war in Ukraine. I especially like that the hosts and military experience and the ability to explain military concepts to lay people. I even liked it so much I subscribed to telegraph to read the stories they were talking about but you don't have to subscribe. It's a free podcast.
2024-Trump and the Labor Party? Bite your tongue!
Do you guys want this to happen? This is my country we’re talking about here, and don’t take it lightly that you fatalistically assume he’ll be back in office in 2024, not be convicted or sentenced to prison. Let’s really hope and ( ‘pray’?) that this doesn’t happen. It would be the end of our democracy .
Labor is great for UK. Just like a democratic president is great for the whole country. This is going on almost 20 years. It’s time for all this to stop, or we’re finished.
Indispensable and interesting
I listen daily. It’s become indispensable to my understanding of the conflict. They keep it fast-moving and interesting.
