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.
Apple Podcasts5Cracklin-RosieUnited Kingdom4 days ago - Needs to research his interviewees better.
It would be a lot better if Andrew researched his interviewees and the topic more. The explanation of what a CAWN is and why and how they are used was pitiful and needed deeper scrutiny, for example. Otherwise, I am glad to know that someone is covering these topics and raising awareness.
Apple Podcasts3hannakusoUnited Kingdom11 days ago - Fascinating
I’ve not heard a bad episode yet. Andrew manages to do something that most people in this world seem to have forgotten how to do which is to question, listen and disagree respectfully where necessary.
I love this show and the wide range of topics and interviewees.
