  • Sound very hit and miss

    Like a lot of Times Radio output, the sound quality is very hit and miss, way too much bass, lots of studio rumblings, booming mics. Some episodes are almost unlistenable.

  • My fave pod - my WFH companions

    Jane, Fi and Eve keep me company while I WFH. I love the mix of serious chat and pure silliness. Giggling and silly accents most welcome.

  • A lovely and important part of my life

    My absolute favourite podcast. Love these brilliant women. I look forward to listening each evening and am bereft when they’re off. Intelligent, comforting, topical, current, wide-ranging and hilarious.

  • A bit hit and miss.

    It can be enjoyable, informative, fun. I was thrown by a rather hostile interview recently by JG with Julien Clarey. She was tetchy and it was as if she was looking for something to have a go at him about. If you invite someone, at least have an idea what you want to talk to them about. And the sniffy, I don’t get Taskmaster, just silly. It felt like FG was called into rescue it. Julien C was as cool and urbane as you would expect.

Data-backed competitive tiredness (with Caitlin Moran)

Data-backed competitive tiredness (with Caitlin Moran)
Q: What sparked your decision to write How to Be Hopeful?
Moran explains she wanted a practical, accessible guide after recognizing that doom and anxiety were dominating her generation, so she pursued a methodical approach to build hope through small, doable actions.
And do ya?! (with Baroness Hodge)
Q: You've been through it, both personally and politically. But here we are today and the big story is the West Bank trade ban. Has it divided the Labour Party, would you say?
Hodge argues that the issue has divided the Jewish community and poses a difficult political challenge, emphasizing the need for a balanced approach that supports Israel's right to exist while addressing anti-Semitism and domestic concerns. She also notes potential political repercussions ahead of elections and stresses the importance of clear government commitment to fighting anti-Semitism and pursuing a two-state solution.
Not even the weighted blanket could withstand his nocturnal stirrings... (with Scott Bryan)
Q: How did growing up with certain TV moments shape your understanding of identity?
Scott Bryan explains that TV served as a compass for navigating his own queer identity, with early moments offering a sense of recognition and later diagnoses helping him understand how media influenced his perception of human behavior.
Madonna, you're alright, love (with Iain Dale)
Q: What inspired you to write a biography of Margaret Thatcher for a younger generation?
Ian Dale explains that a gym trainer asked about Thatcher, which highlighted how unfamiliar younger people can be with her legacy, prompting him to create a work that distills her impact and myths into accessible context.
