Excellent coverage in all the misinformation and hype. It’s critical that the BBC resist what is ultimately a power grab. An excellent lawyer in Florida would be Michael Popok (Legal AF )
One of the best.
Thank you The Times for telling me about Roger’s podcast
Really looking forward to catching up with the sexiest voice on radio!

This is NOT a "Beeb Watch" it is just a BBC Cheer Leader exercise not an independent Podcast. Bolton constantly ensures any guest is as pro BBC and DEFINITELY Anti GBNews as he desires.
Balanced? No way.
I’ve been listening/watching Roger for as long as I can remember so it’s great to hear him discussing the Beeb at this time when we’re in danger of losing it
