  • Emotionless presenter who asks the bleeding obvious.

    Droning monotonous voice of the presenter who drains the life out of any real conversation by asking stupid pointless questions. News podcast for 5 years and under. Dumbed down drivel.

  • Needs better presenters

    Some useful topics covered, but the presenter/guests are uninformed and have no knowledge pre 2015! They also speak and read out their scripts as though the listeners are thick and unable to follow a decent pace - very annoying!

  • Awful left wing bias

    Awful left wing bias. I tried listening to a few episodes to give it a chance. But I couldn’t take the blatant left wing bias. It shouldn’t be this hard to find a pod that gives factual reporting, without giving biased opinions
