Seems a little amateur and haphazard relative to the Inside Politics podcast. Cliff is a nice guy but seems to dodge every second question and doesn’t seem especially informed. The interviewer is not especially likeable either.
This is one of my favourite podcasts. Ciaran Hancock always does a great job interviewing consistently interesting guests who provide real insights into business in Ireland and beyond. Production and editorial standards of the highest quality. The Irish Times can be proud of this.

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.
