United Kingdom3 years ago - Unmissable and Great for earnest, passionate, news in the north of England
Update 31 May: not often can I be compelled to change a review but this podcast has earned its upgrade with the new season.

Belgium3 years ago - Great and consistently challenging
Great topical current affairs podcast around the north but focused on the issues of the day. Lovely relationship and harms back to when you could argue your point and still be friends afterwards. Always makes you think and don’t agree with loads but that is the purpose of listening to challenge yourself - Brilliant work keep it up

Apple Podcasts5Massey314United Kingdom3 years ago - More constructive debate please!
Update 19 April: I’m following this podcast because I partly grew up in the north, my dad’s family is from the north, and it holds a special place in my heart, as I still have family there. I really want to be part of building a brighter, positive, dignified, and fairer future for the North, but Michael Taylor is doing everything possible to show that this isn’t going to be with the Labour Party. He should re-listen to some of what he says on the podcast - please stop sabotaging the party before... more
