  • Ann Coulter

    Ann Coulter is nothing more than a MAGA supporter, and so giving her air time is a disgrace. Anyone who does not subscribe to the rule of law, which she clearly doesn't, should not be allowed on any respectable podcast.

  • Paedophile deniers

    I know the Spectator is right wing, but the efforts they make to try and distract from the crimes of Epstein and his paedophile cohort are deplorable. Listening to Dershowitz calling Ghislaine a nice person is disturbing His argument that victims were of age i.e.17 or 18 and should only have privacy if they did not sue is even worse!!! Why does he keep showing up trying to distract from his own dealings with Epstein, he appears more guilty. Between him and Kevin Maxwell, the Spectator has beco... more

  • Usually good except…..

    Usually a pretty interesting look beyond the headlines in US politics. But at least once a fortnight they put a total crank on (See Tara Reid today) who really does not deserve a platform of the Spectator. I do wish Freddy would interview more credible (though still diverse and eccentric) voices.

  • Freddie Makes it Special

    Although no fan of the odd, gratuitous language of the subtitle (“… and its prejudices”?), this is a solid, much-appreciated programme, and one as yet untarnished by Michael Gove’s Wet Tory politics. Freddie Gray is generally very fair and well informed.
