Every episode is great and really gets at the heat of the issue of what’s wrong with the UK especially the lack of foresight into investment in solid traditional industries but also other sectors like tech and in the space race.

    The way it is presented is great not boring to listen to.

    Keep up this great work we need more people in the UK talking a... more
