Excellent. Ellis knows his stuff.
I love the podcast, but new episodes stopped appearing back in September. What happened?
I like this podcast but two recent episodes have cut out at the start so I can’t listen to it. This does not happen with other podcasts.
Please sort this out. The low rating is because of this issue otherwise it would be 5 stars
Enjoy the news analysis and differing views.
I just downloaded todays show and glitches
In the last 2 months I would say about 5 podcast would just stop, that is terrible and changes need to be made.
