- Interesting and engaging
I enjoy this podcast partly because it is well put together and well presented, but also because of the quality of the content. Steve Richards obviously finds the subject fascinating which comes across. He seems to have a cavernous breadth of political experience and knowledge which, is another point of quality.

Great on domestic matters, clueless on international affairs and defence.
Apple Podcasts4❤️Radio4ComedyNetherlands4 months ago - Great listen despite the obvious political bias
He’s such an easy listening style one of my favourites even if you can pin down easily exactly where steve is on the political spectrum . Think he needs to be a bit less overtly anti Tory/Reform as recently his argument have been very one sided but still a good podcast
