Either half advertorial podcast or group think agreement
I generally enjoy the detail and discussions during this podcast, but at times the host can be argumentative and condescending towards the guests, it’s exhausting to listen to.
I understand that the host wants to challenge the guests on numbers, facts and plans (they are all professionals after all), but it appears at times that the host wants to employ “gotcha” questioning, please stop.
Seems a little amateur and haphazard relative to the Inside Politics podcast. The interviewer is not especially likeable either
