- Variable sound levels spoil the interesting content
I enjoy the interesting content but this podcast is sometimes a difficult listen because sound levels jump all over the place. Can be almost unlistenable.

United Kingdoma year ago - Good guests but Christian needs to interrupt them less

I found this podcast because I love trains but I have been educated about transport generally. Our transport infrastructure is crucial to our economy and wellbeing and each week I surprise myself by how engrossing the subject is. The two presenters really know their stuff and the link with politics and geography always holds my interest
