  • Fabulous content

    The number of half finished podcasts I have is huge. Mostly because I always listen whilst doing other things but also because I lose interest or the pod runs out of steam! I have the attention span of a goldfish but Macrodose seems to grab my interest and hold it!

  • Election debrief lack of intelligent analysis

    Without James Meadway all balance was lost with a full scale attack on Starmer from the two contributors. Suggesting the cabinet despises those without further ed and that “Labour pandered to right wing voters who never voted for them” and already saying Starmer can’t possibly win the 2nd term! Where’s the intelligent analysis gone?
