  • Mr Doyle, where you go?

    Great podcast, but like his last one, errr, where’s it gone?! September 2023 and still no sign. No announcement, no nothing. Tumbleweeds.

  • A respectable show I can recommend

    Judging by just the couple of episodes that I’ve listened to, this show strikes me as fairly balanced, intelligent and sane—-which, I cannot say about many other podcasts I have listened to.

  • Pretty, pretty good

    Bit of an echo chamber but balances the country’s media output I suppose.

    Andrew is a great communicator and comes across as likeable allowing his guests to talk,

    Would have been 5 but for the count Dunkula episode.
