Ireland2 months ago Science news programme with some extra snark
Podcast Addict56 months agoBragcat- Used to be good
I would have given a five star review a few years ago.
But recently the main topics of the show are uninteresting, drawn out, not structured well.
The news round is still good though.
Apple Podcasts2gnrvrfanIreland9 months ago AI boosterism. I expect less gullibility in my tech journalism
Podcast Addict19 months agoSkrynesaver- Jonathan needs to stop being so rude
I was going to subscribe but every episode I’ve listened to when they do the news at the beginning, Jonathan is always so condescending to the correspondents especially the female correspondents. It drives me nuts. The news they bring forth is very interesting and I hate that Jonathan feels the need to tell us that he’s not surprised by this news and asks “why are you?” in such a condescending manner.
