So many words, so little content.

Time for Chris to stop bigging up Reform. The more coverage they get, the more it's like a self-fulfilling prophesy. Why not include the absolute total magnificent roasting that Jamie Raskin gave Farage in Congress re free speech in the UK, instead of giving so much free coverage to a delulu party whose MPs can be counted on the fingers of one hand?
Apple Podcasts3tmtl1United Kingdom2 months ago - Informative
I really enjoy this podcast and find it much more informative and reflective than The Newsagents which, apart from Emily Maitless, descends too often into hysterical rants. Really enjoy all the presenters. However, I’d love it if the bit in the end titles with Laura K quoting Chris M about oozing stamina and ‘ if you’re that way inclined’ could be removed. It makes me cringe every time.
PS Really enjoyed the ‘ Old Newscast’ mini series. More please!
