  • Gone off this

    I’m actually starting to think Sam isn’t a very nice guy/a bit toxic. Do your job but you don’t quite need to put such a negative/cynical view on absolutely everything, it’s tiring. Bit more policy please. And I thought this before labour got in btw.

    Anne is great though!

  • Sam & Sam (I am)

    Low level gossip and drivel at random times in the morning. The claim of covering “everything you need know in under 20 minutes should”, should be cut to 20 seconds!

  • Turn up the volume!!

    Good podcast, but why do you broadcast it at such a low volume. Even with my phone turned up to maximum volume, I can barely hear it over background noise. No other podcast I listen to has this problem!

  • Inward looking cynicism

    This has morphed into the Daily Hate. It’s now more about the presenters and their cynical observations then any real insight
