Look guys, Iain is very, very busy with his ghastly guests, yeah, so only phone in if you agree with him, or you’ll make him all prickly. You’re lucky to have him!
This is the best news program ever
I love listening to Iain but of late the quality of the podcast has been poor. It starts off nicely and then its chopped up, callers are “Cut off” and you are listening to debate and its all over the place. Really does not reflect welll.
Iain’s big, benevolent bonce rises nightly like a moon over the cooling news fray, casting a dim, bland light on events. He’s not as smart as he seems, but who is? Ghastly guests, wiser callers, all add to the charm.
I can’t track down the email so I’m sticking this in the reviews:
So delighted for Jacqui, she has really earned this.
Iain - you and Jacqui have kept me going through some dark days/months, thank you so much.
I will really miss the two of you together, but of course I’ll continue to enjoy Iain plus guest presenters.
Iain, you are SO talented - Thank you for all you do!!
