  • James Heale gabbler extraordinaire

    It’s generally a decent listen. Tim shipman is very good albeit he has his favourites and repeats himself a lot. James Heale is sometimes unlistenable for the speed he talks at words just flow into each other and there is just a noise. Slow down man !!

  • Best of political discourse

    Gove’s interview with Mahmood was excellent. Mahmood answered all questions head on and her integrity and authenticity was obvious. Gove does bring out the best in the people he interviews - giving them time to answer fully and showing respect for them whatever their political persuasion.

  • Inconsistent Journalism

    I interact with media across the political spectrum - both sides have pros and cons. Unfortunately a few reoccurring guest on this pod are either deliberately spreading misinformation or not doing their due diligence before speaking?

  • Tim Shipman unleashed

    I enjoy the podcast, but better without Tim Shipman - head over heels in love with Reform, and in the most recent podcast quite unhinged in his appraisal of how Trump’s getting his agenda through. If this is what happens when you write tens of thousands of words about politics after Brexit, be warned all writers should stick to short form twitter and bluesky.
