  • A message for Melissa Davey

    Hi Melissa, I’m half-way through listening to the podcast on the ‘Lifesaving Covid Treatments…’ and you really know your stuff. Well researched and very informative - well done. One thing I think you need to be conscious of, though, is your very significant tendency to finish sentences about three octaves higher than when you start them. This does detract from your communication. Please have a listen to this and I’m sure you’ll pick it up. I used to tell my students that the PRESENTATION of comm... more

  • Pod is great, but…

    I could not listen to the Phoebe Saintilan-Stocks episode, as her voice has the most severe, exaggerated examples of vocal fry I have personally experienced. (That is the low, croaky part of the vocal range at the end of every sentence that puts the listener into a fingernail down blackboard sensation. Not occasionally in Phoebe’s case, it was every sentence she uttered. ) The content was so interesting I will probably go buy her book but perhaps producers of this pod could keep their ears train... more

  • Unbalanced opinions

    I listen to the Guardian regularly but consistently disappointed in the reporting as it never balances the left and right adequately. We dont expect 50/50 reporting but a more balanced factual approach to content. Its disappointing because it has the potential but to be a really good provider

    Lenore Taylor is quite the compulsive interrupter. Let a person finish a thought Lenore. Your thoughts are no more important than those of your colleagues. Get some manners. And humility.
