Reviews
- Democracy under threat series
Great content but I couldnt finish listening to the Russian episode due to Katrina Tertytchnaya’s screechy high pitched voice. It ruined what would have been an excellent episode.

Love David’s style! Clearly sets out the debate in a academic framework. Gets to the heart of the issue. Keep going!

Punchy, relevant and insightful. Always a good listen. Although I thought I was listening to an episode of Yes Minister in the last episode 😊
