  • London-centric

    Finding it more and more often that the topics are very london centric and are barely related to science and technology. In 2026, i could count on one hand the number of episodes that dont have a london centred story.

  • Unlistenable

    I wrote a creative review to give an idea of how painful the adverts are to wade through for minimal content, but it got rejected. So in plain English: unlistenable. I might try again if you make it weekly and lower the adverts to content ratio about tenfold.

  • Too many adverts

    I used to listen to this daily but now there are far too many adverts. Some 2 minutes long and disguised as editorial, so it takes a while to realise you’ve just listened to a sponsored ad. A big shame.
