Love the pod, why not release the full video alongside the audio episodes? It seems that the FT does record them…

Just don’t invite Katie Martin. She’s like fingernails on a chalkboard. Should be sacked.

United States3 months ago - ‘Could potentially’ be tautological
I think this podcast is excellent but, there’s always a but, you really should review the use of the word ‘potentially’. What’s wrong with ‘possibly’? It’s so much more apt when talking of what might happen in the future.
Anyway, I really enjoy listening and think you’re all quite brilliant. So, thank you.
Apple Podcasts5GeezeboneUnited Kingdom3 months ago - Burnham after Makerfield
The analysis of Andy Burnham’s path to unseating Keir Starmer was excellent - as was the discussion on Reform. Your commentators are knowledgable and insightful. However…. the first few minutes irritated. Please don’t talk about yourselves. I couldn’t care less who was at Ronnie Scotts and who was doing what In Paris. That’s not why I listen.
