  • Keep politics out!

    I listen to certain podcasts to escape all the rubbish thats going on in the world! Now we have a C-lister pop singer hosting a party political broadcast on her (usually), light hearted and fun programme. If I want to hear about genocide I’ll log on to Sky or the BBC. Unsubscribed.
