  • Sorry…

    So Jonathan knows his stuff.

    But ….. His speech is insidious, and he keeps revisiting various topics, even though the podcast's frequency suggests he's reporting news.

    (And the speed is also too low)

    Anyway: stick to the news and someone else to read it.

    I've tried a few times now, but I'm giving up.

    All the best though.
