Not bad on Irish topics. Shows total bias on US issues. Instead of trying to see both sides, is yet another tiresome Trump bashing podcast. Mandy casually calling Trump a racist. MSNBC with a shamrock on it.
Great Podcasts. Variety of topics, well executed. Interesting guests. Well done.
Vincent Wall is exceptionally well informed and gets the best out of his interviewees without the need for drama or agressive questioning. His style is calm and analytical and very pleasent listening.
Well done Vincent on an excellent show. Like no other, plain intelligent, interesting, engaging. You rock! Keep up the good work, your show was a great find. I highly recommend it.
Really enjoyed the first few episodes! Looking forward to hearing more
