Hard work. I tried listening to an episode (the PMQs/Lammy one) but after 15 minutes of inane drivel about what a terrible driver she is, I gave up. Truly dreadful, teenie-level shrieking and babbling. Better things to do, sorry. Or 'soz' as they probably say.
If you want solid reporting that gets you out of your bubble, this ain't it
Please can you stop the gambling adverts. I’ll stop listening. I’m just one person. But I can’t be the only one who is repulsed. Gambling ruins lives. Be better Joe.
Updated review - persevered but it’s like losing the will to live - Sean is a narcissist who loves himself, Laura is the constant giggling fool and the pod just goes from bad to worse
Since Ava has taken over and begun leading the podcast with Sean and Laura, the quality of the content has increased a lot and I find myself looking forward to episodes. I really like this new direction. Topics are more focused and it seems better produced.
