Used to be absolute mandatory listening and now fluctuates between good bad and indifferent. Laura Kuenssberg must go down as one of the best journalists whilst being the singularly most irritating and as such it makes the podcast almost unlistenable

Excellent podcast. I enjoy my daily update and the presenters are informative yet they have a good rapport. Nice to have the mix of the seriousness of current events with a joke here and there. Keep up the good work!

Journalism and explanatory chat is excellent .
