Disappointing, I thought Neill was an incisive interviewer. These are bland, no challenging of assertions or probing of assumptions.

So good to have Andrew back.
Apple Podcasts5D7T7United Kingdom2 years ago - Pure political perfection
Andrew puts the rest to shame. Powerful, combative, irreverent and unapologetic. A sheer masterclass in the art of the interview.
