  • Great content, terrible production

    The recent Peter Hitchens and Chris Snowdon episode was unlistenable as are many others. Such a shame because the content is excellent. Keep up the good work but please employ a decent sound technician!

    Difficult to listen to. Invest in half reasonable microphones would be my advice.

  • Cracking podcast for libertarians

    30 minute bite size chunks about a different policy area each week. Always something different and not always unanimous views. But mainly in the free market direction.

  • Great

    One of the few UK centric libertarian leaning podcasts. As others have said, I wish there were some more longer form interviews. Oh, and less content on the “nanny state”.
