Customer Reviews
Joe Roagan sense
Thanks for an excellent podcast episode about the Joe Roagan news story. It was balanced and sensible. Keep it coming!
The Freshwater 5
This mini-series has been brilliantly put together & compelling listening. Well done Guardian team!
Long time listener but disappointed
The Today in Focus on Harry and Meghan’s interview was hopeless biased. Anushka used the term absurd multiple times to describe the interview, and her pro-monarchy attitude was clear. There’s are almost zero comparisons between H&M’s treatment and those of other members of the royal family. The fact that Harry is in his 30s and dependent on the monarchy seems laughable despite her knowing that a life of public service hardly enables you to rake in personal incomes, which they can now do as non working royals. I do not care very much for Harry and Meghan, but it was clear that this was not a balanced episode. Disappointed in the disingenuous, ridiculous interview.
