  • Andrew is tiresome and self-indulgent

    Between his desperate attempts to sound like Alan Partridge on the weekly “what we learned” monologues, and his verbose, exhausting speeches that overwhelm any of his interview subjects, this is another Monocle podcast I can’t listen to unless I’m trying to torture myself. With so many great hosts, like Fernando, Emma and Georgina, why do listeners have to put up with this bloated, boring sideshow?

  • Smug and Boring

    I listened to this for 15 minutes but that was all I could take. The number one thing that makes podcasting interesting and informative is when the broadcaster tries to see all sides of issues and has a sense of nuance. This show and the hosts are boring, self-referential, narcissistic, and smug, unfortunately typical for modern “progressives”. It could pass for satire it’s so bad.

How is Europe tackling the is... more
