  • A breath of fresh air

    Can I also recommend the fantastic article ‘The Gaza flotilla: the Woke Man’s Burden’ by Brendan. It sums up the destructive, hypocritical and skewed views of Israelphobes.

  • Bit too sandy

    Brendan is articulate and thoughtful, but the range of guests feels narrow and the content gets very samey and repetitive. The recent Lionel Shriver ep was a case in point - nothing new or incisive to say, and it felt like treading water. Having a wider range of guests and even some Brendan might not wholly agree with would freshen things up.

  • Excellent frank interview with Graham Linehan

    Just heartbreaking that he feels totally rejected by the UK & let down by once great institutions like the BBC. There are so, so many of us who love & respect you Graham. And you Brendan.
