  • Frustrated

    I’ve listened to this podcast for years and used to absolutely love it. Lately it seems like every guest gets interrupted and it’s so frustrating. I used to notice it a small amount but it’s every single episode where guests cannot seem to finish a sentence. This makes the interview seem to bounce around. You can be listening to an interesting story and fact and never hear the end of it. It’s really put me off listening anymore

  • Long time listener.

    Listening to the latest episode with Giorgio Locatelli. Any chance of letting the guests express themselves. Constant interruptions are becoming quite annoying.

  • Very disappointed

    I listened for the first time purely to listen to the fantastic James Graham. He was, as ever, a joy but the constant interruptions from the hosts was incredibly frustrating. There were also some very tone-deaf comments from Lennie. Unlikely to listen again.
