The very best!
Absolutely brilliant, so sad it’s finished but if someone told me I was fated to spend the next few years listening to a repeat episode a day that would be fine! Interesting, massively informative and thought provoking, a little enriched of life. Massive thanks to all involved!
Without doubt the best political podcast. As a politics teacher who travels under the misconception of thinking I know something about the subject, I find that every episodes deepens my understanding and leaves me scratching my head about questions I’d never previously thought to think. The highlight of every week. The whole family download & enjoy.
