  • Should be better

    Interesting guests, but wasted by an ill prepared and mediocre interviewer and poor sound quality. Production values not up to Country Life standard.

  • Deserves a Better Host

    James Fisher is such a poor choice for a PodCast. His constant umm, sort of, yahs, yeah yeahs, etc ruin the flow. He also needs to be better prepared. The best episodes are driven by the guests.

  • Good but the interviewer….

    Please can the podcast host stop ‘oohing’ and ‘yah-ing' in agreement. It interrupts the flow of what the interviwee is saying and makes for a jolted listening experience.
