Have never missed an episode since subscribing to Spectator podcasts, love the new round table format for The Edition. Eventually took out a magazine subscriptions so podcasts work, keep them coming please. TY.
Any speccie podcast without Gove is going to be good but a line up of Lara, Damien,Freddie, Mary is great!
One of my favorite podcasts, always fun to listen to!
