I normally like the politico podcasts but these ones often feel like Anne & Sam are just reading off a piece of paper? Sam a bit more natural but Anne sounds like she needs notes to know what she’s talking about. And the editing is so random. I can’t hear Sam/can hear Anne too loud etc etc I don’t understand why it’s so hard? Really annoying to turn volume up and down
Love it. Love Sam’s reality checks and cynicism in contract to Anne’s optimism! Listen every morning with it fail!
I like that Sam and Anne are quick and concise with what is happening in British politics. They have great insights and scoops from MPs and other political figure. Keep up the good work.
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!
Love it! As they say, ‘Sets you up for the day ahead in under 20 minutes’! It’s the first thing I listen to each morning. Especially love the inside goss from Sam and Anne!
