- Wavering on facts
I have enjoyed listening to your podcast- it is engaging and your interviews with a wide variety of voices is interesting for perspective. That being said, I got really frustrated listening to your live interviews. Particularly what irked me was your reply to “why did so many people vote for Trump”? It was literally almost 50/50, and no, Lucy, he DOES not tell the truth AT ALL. Follow the receipts! He has literally been caught lying about EVERYTHING his whole career and it’s all recorded. As a j... more

United States2 months ago - Disappointing
The producers should probably research the true background of the sound of freedom.
Apple Podcasts2munchiekatUnited States6 months ago - Don’t believe their propaganda, believe ours.
This horrifically left-wing podcast essentially attempts to convince you that any right-wing “conspiracy” is false. I found the episode ‘The Jump’ particularly disturbing. It is an hour long attack on a man who hunts down child-traffickers. Why does the narrator hate people who arrests child abusers so much?

United Kingdom7 months ago - Biased Liberal Nonsense
This is whole thing is an appalling piece of distorted and deliberate anti conservative propaganda that picks up the liberal ball and just runs with it.
The BBC really has disappeared into a vortex of elitist vanity and metropolitan wish fulfillment, so far away from reality that it looks like actual propaganda
Apple Podcasts1saperloUnited States8 months ago - Essential Listening
This has been awesome from the beginning and I hope it continues. Gabriel and Lucy are ideally placed to investigate the chaos that sits behind the American psyche - someone has to. I keep an open mind as much as I can but always feel better informed after an episode of this. We need even more, with you know who back in the White House. Enough material for 10 seasons I would think!
