I only listen to this blithering fool to underpin my own thinking.
This man only listens to people who reflect his own opinions and belittles those who don’t.
Brilliant to hear James’ LBC show in a bite sized chunk. Perfect for the commute home.
Well structured show really interesting
I listened to JoB every day when I was at my lowest. Now I’m back at work (night shifts) and I miss listening live … so much. Having a podcast delivered daily just made everything better! Thanks James. You deserve to be top of the charts. Only way this could be better would be a weekend edition ;)
Fantastic first episode! Cannot wait for the next one, at least I won’t have to wait long!
