Used to be essential listening, now they really need to get rid of the dead wood. Matthew Taylor and Mona Siddique need to be put out of their misery.

United Kingdom2 months ago - Expected more from the Beeb
I was expecting some intellectual debate but the speakers were relatively uninformed and their arguments mostly based on personal / anecdotal evidence rather than solid evidence. Was hoping for something more informative and thought provoking.
Apple Podcasts2TjgraingeUnited Kingdom4 months ago - Old people.
If you want to listen to rich older people talk about subjects they understand little of, in an opinionated way, this is the show for you. Hearing them not even understand the difference between a smartphone messaging app and true social media is embarrassing in a discussing about banning children (anybody under the age of 18) from social media perfectly demonstrates that this show would be far better with a majority panel under the age of 40 years old. As it stands, it’s mostly rich people that... more
Apple Podcasts3PatriciaMcKUnited Kingdom7 months ago - Interesting but elitist
A great show, usually fairly well balanced and informed. Let down by the fact it rarely features diverse voices and those who may be considered diverse are still from the ‘right’ class. Therefore it remains slightly detached and distanced from every day society. Expand your guests and panel to really understand and represent society.
