  • Each episode is well researched. Sometimes some of the hosts can be a bit opinionated on the downside.

    However, all the hosts don't just complain, but also explain, and suggest ways forward, and ways of adapting. Hope remains. Much better than some of the bitter stuff from the so called "tanky" left.
