- Ditch Matt Chorley
Increasingly this podcast includes Matt Chorley, who is, to use oxymoron, deeply shallow. This podcast is also so pro-Trump. Almost every report of something that Trump is doing is followed by "to be fair..." and a compliment. I don't need fake balance in my podcasts, and I definitely don't need pro-Trump sympathy.

United Kingdoma month ago - Trump Apologists
Just decided to check this out. Trumps SOTU speech was a pack of lies smothered in bs. You can’t middle-of-the-road this stuff anymore. I won’t be listening. Was looking for UK perspective but this isn’t for me.

Australia2 months ago - Clear speech
Sara Smith needs to understand that broadcasting requires clear speech , she suffers from “Babble” she does not understand that each word does not join into the next so that the whole point of view becomes a mass of babble .
Apple Podcasts2LandorhopeUnited Kingdom2 months ago - Really disappointing
I listened to the mid term election episode today as my first listen. I have only witnessed such terrible journalism on Fox News and NewsMax. The restatement of the Administrations lies was unchecked throughout this episode. Really disappointed in the BBC for this one. Not sure I’ll ever be able to listen to these two hosts again. As Trump would say: SAD.
