  • Recently not great

    I am usually an avid listener, but recently finding that this show is VERY stereotyping of areas of the UK outside London and the South East. It's lazy, it's rude and it's bad journalism - and it leads to inaccuracies in broader assumptions. Please, please resolve this. January 2024.
