United Kingdoma month ago - Lost its way
Can we go back to more Helen Lewis and less of the other guy wanging on about his twitter spats
Apple Podcasts2Jrlh92United Kingdoma month ago - Not so good without Helen
Unfortunately this show has nosedived in quality since Helen left
Apple Podcasts2EdhkybUnited Kingdoma month ago - Excellent and erudite
Armando and Helen are entertaining, informative, balanced and give laugh out loads — and sometimes laughable — insight on and interpretation of the world of politics
Their guests are well chosen and well informed too.
I love the Strong Recommends too.
Keep it up guys
Apple Podcasts5Magic_AlUnited Kingdoma month ago - Terry Pratchett
Unseen Academicals and Going Postal are sitting on my bookshelf. Will never give them away. Others are on my Kindle. I only started reading Terry Pratchett novels in my 50s. They are such a critical examination of society, government and power structures…and absolutely hilarious. This recommendation has reminded me to keep collecting and reading.
