Love this informative podcast. Don’t like Kate Laycock’s annoying voice. Will sadly be unsubscribing because of it :(
Good journalism at its finest, human storytelling that almost anyone can appreciate. Keep up the good work 💚
As a person in his early 20s from saudi, this podcast sounds pretty far-left to me. Anyways, I genuinely enjoy hearing different opinions than mine. I just wish they focus more on non-political topics like the food, music and cultural heritage in general.
Kate puts on a master class in broadcasting, she’s born to speak into the microphone. In an age of thousands of amateur podcasters mucking up the scene, it’s so nice to hear a pro. Thank you Kate!
I wish they made more podcasts like this!
