Thank you for the podcast
Reported six years ago that - Far too many ‘programme temporarily unavailable’ warnings.

I am relieved it is now public and I won’t be listening to a show by an organisation, that seems to support genocide. For that reason I certainly cannot trust the BBC’s reporting on anything anymore.
