Your podcast is great. Love the banter between you…a must for every great podcast. Second Captains is another favourite for the same reason. Particularly enjoyed your chat with Fergus Finlay. Always keen to hear his inside track on politics. He’s informed, honest and fun. Like your podcast!

Really like the podcast, concise, topical and entertaining. The 3 hosts work so well together and the fact it’s 20-30mins long is ideal.

Apple Podcasts5Markmah47Ireland4 months ago - Really good
I really like this podcast. It takes current happenings and explains them in a way that can be understood easily. I also like the fact that it’s 25 minutes long. I find some Podcasts, of an hour or more, are just too long. they get to the heart of the matter very quickly and I like that.
