- Intelligently voiced views
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!

United Kingdom21 days 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.

Evidently, we are al... more

Favourite podcast for bedtime listening. Informative, amusing, and total respect for each other, even when disagreeing.
Apple Podcasts5Poddy11United Kingdom2 months ago - Calm down Michael
Gove sounds like he’s been on the Charlie again. Calm down Michael and just converse.

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 a lifelong Tory – once upon a time, anyway – this programme highlights why I am now a voter without a political home. This radical “far-centrism” (in the words of JCD Clark?) got Britain into this dire state to begin with. “We are all Blairites now,” they might well demur. Nor does Maddy’s rel... more
