    Chas, Dr Dave, Lachy (the producer) plus the numerous guests that appear…. all contribute to make PEP (and PEEP) easily my favourite listening each week.

    This is absolute gold standard content.

    Thank you Chas and all your team who bring this to us

  • This podcast goes deep into American politics from an outside/australian perspective. If you want to really understand US politics this one is one of the greats and gives you so much more than a surface level understanding.

  • Good until the host switched his brain off

    Take an idea with some built in survivorship bias, mix it with a little sexism

  • Brilliant detail

    Honest and thorough. Chas is a genius. Dr Dave is very shouty (poor wifey) but easy to ignore given the quality.
