- Moral Maze or Legal Maze?
Just listened to the episode about Israel and Iran. I was hoping for a discourse on the morality around recent events. Too many of the speakers talked about the legality of the situation. Whether something is legal (or not) does not determine the morality of the situation.i was dissapointed that the moderator / presenter made no attempt to move the arguments on to the moral issues.

Michael Buerk is still as sharp as a tack and the panellists are generally excellent pr at least good, except for the infantile Ash Sarkar. More Sonia Sodha, more Tim Stanley, more Konstantin Kissin, more Inaya Folarin Iman and bring back Melanie Phillips!

United Kingdom5 months ago - Great premise
I really enjoy the way this show is set up - pose a moral question and a panel interviews guests with different views on the topic and then discusses the points brought up and which made the panel think differently or found something to criticize about their argument.
The kind of thing that’s sorely needed today.

United States6 months ago - What a shambles!
First time listening to this podcast, was really excited to listen to an incredibly important discussion about legalising assisted dying.
So so so disappointed to hear the argumentative tone of this debate. Interrupting and talking over each other like children!!!
Why are we listening to these people who have absolutely NO personal experience of having watching someone suffer a long and undignified painful death.
You should be ashamed of yourselves on airing a debate like this.
Apple Podcasts1EmJG95United Kingdoma year ago - Preachy
Despite occasional flashes of ethical thinking this show is overly dominated by advocates of outdated dogmas and especially a handful of the professionally religious regulars who presumably only partake to proselytise without any concern for morals.
