- Losing its way
At its best, it can deliver brilliant, informative journalism that brings stories to light with details that struggle to make the headlines.

Apple Podcasts5Dee R'beeUnited Kingdom2 months ago Genuinely valuable analysis of the nuts and bolts of the game from a gaggle of very well informed "which was nice" journos terminally projecting their particular epistemic bubble.

Like passing out at Caffè Nero in Broadcasting House, but still being conscious enough to hear the inclusive chit chat.
Probably needs a lil bit more Ballardian/Eric & Ernie edge tbh.
