Thanks Claire and amazing Squiz Team! Concise, factual, unbiased and relevant, the content is spot on with a serious lightheartedness. Looking forward 2026 with your familiar voices.
Love my Saturday morning routine of listening to the weekly wrap whilst eating my sourdough toast. Such a great way to catch up the week’s events. Thanks Claire and the team!
