- 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.

United Kingdom2 months ago - Solid Pod
Really enjoy the pod and listen to every episode.
It benefits from a rotation of guests but is always better when Alyson Rudd is on the panel.
Apple Podcasts4JamestashUnited Kingdom2 months ago - Big Club podcast

Apple Podcasts1JRG_76United Kingdom2 months ago - Worth a listen
Good insight and analysis, variety of contributors to this podcast. Tom Clarke great presenter. Jonathan Northcroft and Tom Allnut are excellent. Gregor’s views add value. Tom Roddy and Ian Hawkey are both very good. I like Alison’s takes.
