This used to be good but it’s all about the presenters talking about themselves now. Maybe a change of presenters would get it back on track.
Well presented and digestible round up of the day’s news. Was surprised to see so many bad reviews which makes me think that one person has got it in for this team. If you don’t like it, don’t listen to it!

Please don’t let Luke Sullivan on again. He can’t speak!
