  • Quite good

    A fantastic podcast that’s much more informal than lots of other podcasts. Still discusses the main topics of the day but definitely offers something different.

  • Far better than the centrist dads

    Grant is witty, intelligent and knowledgeable and Gove brings experience and insight. Far better than the tired centrist dad dynamic which has been overdone.

  • Quite good!

    After a bit of necessary stretching and some warming-up exercises, QR! is developing a nice, loose groove, simmering with Spectator confidence. Madeline is a star signing, and - honestly! - you’ll acquire a taste for Gove’s studied/genuine weirdness. Good companions.

  • Refreshingly different

    Satisfyingly different to other current offerings, with rewarding insights.

    Actually enjoyable to listen, with balance and frequent snippets of humour.

    Please keep the current format and don’t change the style.
