  • Always great guests & insightful chat

    Just listened to the interview with Matthew Syed; insightful, funny and honest. We need more people like him and Iain who say things with an honest, non-tribal perspective. It’s challenging and respectful. Always worth listening to Iain.

  • Fantastic interview with Duncan Barkes

    I’ve just listen to the Iain Dale All Talk interview with Duncan Barkes. It was great hearing them talk about Duncan’s career as a radio presenter and brought back memories for me of listening to LBC as a teenager in the 1970s up to the current day. A good radio host can keep you engaged and entertained.
