I have been a huge supporter and listener for a long time , always found discussions balanced and thought provoking. However this latest episode with Vanessa Feltz was terrible. Well done for Vanessa keeping her dignity . A different side of Andrew shown in this episode and he has lost a listener. Not for me anymore.

This would be a perfect 5 star if you would put the video here as well so we can choose between either video or audio as I like to do both.

Love Andrew’s interviewing style. Respectful, balanced and always interesting.
It’s clear that negative reviews on here will be from malicious activists who don’t like objectivity.
Andrew gives a platform to people who he disagrees with as well as those he supports. It always makes for a fascinating listen.
