- 5 stars BUT PLEASE
I've given you 5 stars but please, PLEASE STOP TALKING OVER EACH OTHER. You talk over and interrupt each other multiple times per episode. The podcast would be so much more enjoyable if you learned to cut it out.

United Kingdom20 days ago - “Both things can be true”
Good pod, but becomes incredibly annoying and tedious when Tom says the “both things can be true” nonsense. It’s like a kid who finds a saying that makes people laugh once, so says it every time they can. It gets old. Quick. I’m begging, please stop.

Australia2 months ago - Dear God STOP SHOUTING OVER EACH OTHER
You’re not in the pub you’re hosting a podcast- bloody act like it. Gregor - please go and write for the Guardian and join Barry and co for the far superior podcast. I really want to enjoy this pod, but Tom Croft. who never actually finishes asking a question but acts as if it’s some kind of multiple choice exam question, makes it so difficult.
Apple Podcasts3Rhysie BabesUnited Kingdom2 months ago - Less Alyson Rudd please
Can’t stand Alyson Rudd and her odd takes and irritating negativity. And nope, nothing to do with gender, plenty of great female podcast contributors. She, however, is not one of them.
Apple Podcasts2Deebee365United Kingdom3 months ago - Don’t interrupt the question
To the pundits - don’t anticipate TC’s question and begin to answer because TC will continue asking the question regardless. So, just wait until he’s asked the question which will include all possible answers before answering- it will make for a pleasanter listening experience.
