- Excellent
Best podcast available at the moment in my view. Whether one is in agreement with all its views or not it is well presented and structured and the balance of Gove and Grant works well in a Master/Acolyte kind of way.
I listen to podcasts regularly, but this is the only one I listen to each week without fail … serious content yet playful.

I have been wanting a political podcast which aligns with my political views for some time. Being slightly right of centre with a longing for intelligent and non inflammatory ideas this is refreshing! Both hosts bounce off each other well and I wish we had had this podcast prior to Gove going for the premiership as it may have swung it for me as he comes across well. Both are great!

Apple Podcasts5Jack Banner12United Kingdom6 months ago - Quite wrong!
Just mind-numbingly soulless, uninspired and insipid, not helped in the least by the frankly insufferable Maddy who really ought to ease up on the ceaseless pearl-clutching and frequent interruptions.
As an erstwhile lifelong Tory, this programme highlights why I’m now a politically homeless voter. Whether from the Speccie or the Tories themselves, this same brand of “radical far-centrism” (in the words of J C Clark, I think) got Britain into this dire state to begin with. Evidently, we are al... more
