  • Poor

    I like the host’s laconic Aussie style, but this is extremely sloppy fare. His mispronunciations are legion: Althorp should be ORLth’rp, Eugenie should be YOUzhenie, for example; don’t get me started on the weird way he says Lilibet. The host even mispronounces words that are obvious, it’s Milliband not Milband, it’s Kuenssberg, not Kunessberg. Chocolatier is scho-co-la-tee-yay not sholclateer, premier is, obviously, NOT premeer: it’s just baffling how wrong this guy gets basic words. The ep... more

    Wouldn’t it be something if the family is gathered to welcome Harry and his family? Nothing surprises me anymore.

    Commercial you have to listen to, way too long to get a not interesting story.
