Jeremy Paxman, of Newsnight and University Challenge fame, has decided there must be more to life than cudgelling politicians and students on TV. ‘The Lock In’ is, as he puts it, “an excuse for me to talk to people I want to hear from, in a place I want to be...the pub”. So it is that, free at last of any editorial oversight, Jeremy has been sitting down in some of London’s finest boozers to enjoy... more

Zero connection between interviewer and guests. He has no interest. Just listening to the interview with Raynor Winn- god, it was awkward. All she achieved and he asks about her foot care and reacts surprised when she says she’d do her journey again, judged her husband for being a mature student, asking repeat questions, and obviously did no background on the guest. A woman with such an incredible story needed a better interview. So disappointing!!
I’ve given three episodes a go and perhaps some of the others are better but I really don’t think Paxman’s blunt / hostile style translates well to podcasts. These are interrogations, not two way conversations. The simplistic combative questions such as “why do you bother” “who cares” “why should anyone listen to you” do not land well. Not my cup of tea.
I’m missing this podcast. While it is impossible for Jeremy to only interview every individual you can agree or like, it is needed back on please!
Grumpy old guys mostly agreeing with each other
