The subject is very interesting to me but this was just nonsense. Just some kind of show reel for the irritant Stephen Nolan. There was no depth to the ‘investigation’ Complete waste of time.
This is a really important topic and I commend the BBC and the Steve Nolan show for covering it. There are many thoughtful insights but you haven to persevere through the noise of frequent podcast making/chit chat inserts which detract from the substance and flow of the investigation of the topic.

I binged it because I find this subject fascinating. Great work on the part of these reporters digging into what’s behind gender ideology penetrating public institutions so quickly. I like that they interview as many people as they can from all sides of the story.
Well done at uncovering the deception of Stonewall and the influence this lobby group and activist have on government departments.

Guys, I’m very much on the side of skepticism about gender ideology, but I cannot bear to listen to this poorly produced podcast for another minute. Two reasons: firstly, the incessant and distracting ‘suspenseful’ music/noise that is played for like 90% of the podcast; and secondly, the jumping from one soundbite to the next. Honestly, I would listen to this if you released a version that removed the annoying background noises.
